I applied to a lot of low tier academic places that I thought I would get ivs from too.. this process seems so random sometimes..im debating if i should send more LOI or just wait it out.. i think i should be safe in terms of matching but hoping i dont fall to the bottom of my rank list and end up at a community program
Same boat! Ghosted by like 95% of my low tier academics. I guess we still have some time im just so paranoid and impatient lol waiting on that trickle
same here.. im impatient as well.. also a little concern if there something wrong with my app when im not getting the low tier places
Haha dude ill tell you one thing and its def not that there is something wrong with your app you got an invite at Georgetown. Im not sure what these low tiers are thinking though
Thats awesome! Do you call the PC and just express your interest in the program?
What a baller. I totally don't think I would have the guts to call anyone, props to you.
Yup exactly! I just say who I am and that I am very interested in their program and ask if they have sent invites out yet? Obvi i know they have but its the way I say it. It worked lol
thanks for the info.. there is a low tier program that i emailed but never heard back debating if i should call too…
Huh? The interview is at 2am??
Im an idiot lmao im 2 hrs ahead
Im so dumb NJ is 2 hrs ahead im fine
I was about to be like wait....this doesn't check out lol
I feel so stupid hahah
It's something you can discuss during interviews on things you need to improve, you know... real life weaknesses and all
Tuscon! But apparently these two programs will soon be one large program I was reading?
They are planning on merging the Tucson and South Campus programs together. Both are located in Tucson.
I think Phoenix is still kept separate
I was about to say hahah
4/5...Emory is the last one I never got an invite from still waiting and not sure whether I should send an LOI or not. If I haven't gotten an invite from them by now I doubt Ill ever get one they are Top 15ish. Almost embarrassed to call them lmao feel like theyll laugh since its November
2/5. Probably 2 programs I would've received interview invites at regardless though. Very surprised about 1 in particular I haven't heard back from. Even sent them a LOI.
3/5 for me.. i’m still a little surprised i never got one from ccf
By any chance did you apply to the community programs in columbus, ohio? … I thought I would hear back from more community programs
Hoping the same, have 14 but waiting on some academic trickles lol
I am interviewing at UT-Memphis and their med school is also on probation status...they said that their residency accreditation status will not be affected
Wasn’t a fan of the idea of doing OSCE in residency and how hard it was to figure out their fellowship match rates. Ask them if you have to do blood draws and nursing tasks. I got a very vague answer last year
Thanks !! Any thoughts on SUNY downstate or NYU Long Island?
CC Main by far then probably Zucker then all the rest
I think for all DO matchees it’s something like ~60% match one of their top three
I wish they reported data by specialty.
Thats ridiculous how is it that low? If I didnt match into one of my top 3 or 4 i wouldnt be happy at all. I honestly feel like its more like 80% match their top 4. A lot of doom and gloom on SDN when it comes to DOs has not even come close to happening in my personal experience
I just looked it up for 2021 74% matched their top 3 and 84% matched their top 4. 80+% matching top 4 is solid odds. My top rank will be Vandy and is def without question a reach but none of my others are reaches except for Yale but I am currently WL there so I can't really count that kinda sucks. My other programs are definitely very competitive IM programs but I don't think are reaches but we'll see. I wouldn't really want to go to or be happy at any of the programs below my top 4 (possibly 5) absolute max unfortunately
This is for all specialties I remember seeing that pie chart somewhere. But for IM I think it is much higher than say other specialties like surgery or EM I would think.
Those numbers are for all specialties correct? For IM I think it's higher just because of the shear number of spots.
See my edit. I put in hard numbers from the 2021 NRMP report for DOs.
Thanks for the info.. any idea the chances of getting top 4 or 5 for couples matching? At this point I’ll be grateful to match into any academic
Yeah it’s all specialties, IM is highly variable depending on what your rank list looks like. If it’s a bunch of competitive programs your chances of slipping are greater than if it’s the usual community IM places that make up the majority of DOs applying IM.
I don't know where you getting that data but that doesn't seem right nor can I see it in the link you posted.
