2 > 0

I predict 11 interviews for you when the dust settles.

At what point should I be concerned that I only have 3 interviews? (1 from my home program, 1 from an away rotation, and 1 from a neighboring institution that hasn't taken students from my school since the early 90s)

Next week?

Mid-December?

Right freakin now?

 

[Dermocrat]

i'm not gonna freak out until the second week of december.

it depends on how confident you are in your home program/away program. If you are super tight with all the faculty then maybe you don't need to spend $10,000 on flights/hotels/apps like the rest of us. Maybe 3 is the key for you. 🙂

 

[darrvao777]

16 rejects

c'mon, who has me beat?

I'm gonna go cry while I wait for the answer

 

[sensitive skin]

Great, now I'm freaking about my 6.

 

[N-Surge]

...is what is driving me crazy.

Still sitting at 3.5 interviews.

 

[sensitive skin]

Ok. Freaked out too soon and found a Wake Forest massive interview packet in my mail today. Warm fuzzy feeling ensued.

I will stop complaining now. 😳

Ditto on Wake today -- hit the magic 10!

Good work, Palintology. If you're 10 now, you'll be 15+ in no time.

Don't count rejections (why focus on the negative?)
Waiting to hear from lots...

Wow, share the wealth!! 😍

3 invites only
20 rejections
Only 27 left (assuming they'll reply)

 

[dermie09]

A positive way to look at things:
I only have 3 but I am happy with the ones I have in terms of quality.

I took out a huge extra loan to cover interview costs.. and am now looking forward to taking a nice big vacation (I'm thinking a 5 week trip) now! 🙂

 

[N-Surge]

3 interviews
14 rejections (seeing this can help encourage those who have the same issues...)
1 wait-listed

62 to yet hear back from

I am also very happy with the invitations I have received.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[goodies]

still very few interviews... anyone on the same boat? 🙁

another brutal day of no invites...who else is FREAKING OUT

 

[N-Surge]

I thought freaking out wasn't allowed until next week.

We still have many many programs to hear from. 🙂

[NPR]

I'm going to need a couple more invites too to feel good.

Rejection total = 39

Ouchie

Yeah. Just rejections. 🙁

Got an invite earlier in the week that I was excited about.

Now back to rejections.

Still hoping for a good end to the week and a very fruitful week after that.

 

[sensitive skin]

Taking back my grumbling...got a Mt. Sinai invite...one of my fave schools! YAY!

8 invites
29 rejections

 

[dermRus]

Way to go sensitive skin! Do you live far from NY since the invites were sent by snail mail?

I've been pretty fortunate with this year's interviews:

16 interviews
10 rejections
2 waitlist

Good luck to all with the next couple weeks.

 

[NPR]

I've been ravaged.

4 invites (which is great considering I was stuck on 3 for a while)
41 rejections

Make the ouchie stop

Whoa. I think you are at 100% match rate at this point. Congrats!

I am not a New Yorker, but perhaps I will be one for at least three years... 🙂

 

[goodies]

any updates?

so at which point shall we start panicking?

 

[sensitive skin]

any updates?

Nothing new. I've gotten a few rejections from less renowned programs which I was counting on as "backup." This really worries me because, theoretically, I may be ranked in the middle of all my programs and fail to match.

😕

 

[dermified]

applied to only med/derm programs (one i applied to late)
so far, 3 invites

 

[dgruntledmizzou]

I received 2 more over the last 2 weeks from unexpected but less renowned programs which was a pleasant surprise.

I had to turn another interview down due to scheduling conflicts.

All in all, I'm pretty happy.

5 so far
1 rejected due to scheduling
1 expected to come soon (home program)
Hoping for 4 more before Christmas but would probably be okay with 1 more. (Oh heck, it's Christmas, the season of taking. I'll take 4 more 🙂)

Closing in on 50 rejects.
