[gagolden]

Anybody heard from University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Funny, its the lowest ranking program I applyd to! Sent them a email a week ago asking and still havn't heard back.

 

[uclabruins47]

hmm i actually got Wash U today, surprisingly. My scores aint that great, so are they just doing the fillers now? I would hate to go when they're not even gonna highly rank me.

Same here, just got an invite from Wake Forest. Guess I have no choice but to check the program out anyway. Oh well!

I havent heard from them. And I thought that was a safety program!!!

 

[Adcadet]

Is there a late-November slowdown or what? I'm wondering if there will be one last flurry of invites and rejections on December 1st.

 

[tum]

[dr niceguy]

wow... you've gotten offers from so many prestigious programs, i'm surprised you're waiting on any... did you just apply late to the others?

 

[dr.op]

No, I'm an IMG, unfortunately that places me last on the list of candidates at some institutions...

 

[Jac1]

Hmmm, very impressive for an IMG to get all these top notch IV. I am just curious. Where are you from if you dont mind. GL.

 

[dr.op]

Well, I have good scores, good LORs, and I'm Irish which helps I guess

[randyo]

I applied to too many places. I've heard from all of them now, with UCLA finally rejecting me. Here's my list, and best of luck to everyone:


Interviews: Wash U, UWash, UPenn, UMich, Mayo, UChicago, Northwestern, Emory, UNC, Vanderbilt, UTSW, Baylor-Houston, Mt Sinai, UCSD, OHSU, Colorado, Beth Israel Deaconess, Pitt

Rejections: MGH, BWH, Hopkins, UCSF, UCLA, Duke, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, Yale

Like the above posters have stated, it's pretty tough to get spots at the top-tier places.

from ucla too. btw how many interviews you going to, all of them?

 

[dr niceguy]

Anyone else still waiting??? I've still got like 3 I havn't heard from... not exactly looking forward to the emails I'm about to get, but I'd still like to know.

 

[medstud2006]

i am still waiting on 7! U of Chicago, Cornell, Mt. Sinai, Mt. Sinai Bronx, Georgetown, Cleveland, and one i can't remember. Am not expecting good news at this point, but would like to be put out of my misery!

 

[blankspace_]

Rejected by UCLA today by mail.

 

[48 hours]

rejected by duke!

I know that it is a very good program, but I still don't understand how I (luckily) got interviews at Boston programs, Hopkins but then got rejected by duke? I don't know... I guess they are just looking for something I don't have. Oh well.

 

[Discobolus]

I finally got my first rejection today, from University of Colorado. Still waiting to hear anything from U. Texas-Houston, U. Texas-San Antonio, Baylor, and U. Oklahoma.

I got interview invitations from UAMS, U. Missouri-Columbia, Baylor University Medical Center, U. Iowa, UAB, New Mexico, Loma Linda, Scott and White, Medical University of South Carolina, U. Texas-Galveston.

So far I've interviewed at the first 2, and will interview at the next 3, but cancelled the rest.

 

[SoonerDO]

Haven't heard anything back from Baylor-Houston, Univ. of Rochester, and Brown...Oh well, but they could at least send you something to let you know to move on.

 

[Adcadet]

anyone else still waiting on the U of Chicago? I thought my man IMR said we'd hear by Dec 1. Maybe I misunderstood.

 

[dr niceguy]

I'm still waiting on UC... although I havn't taken Step 2 and it seems like that's a requirement for the application there so I'm really not even counting Chicago at this point.

 

[stillhere]

dr niceguy, is that really true about the step 2 requirement for our applications? cuz i took my step 2 last week so the programs wont get the results for another few weeks.

and i'm still waiting to hear from uchicago. i wonder if its because they are waiting on my step 2 score or they just dont even want to waste time emailing me a rejection!

http://imr.bsd.uchicago.edu/form_contact.html

So according to their website yes. I believe Northwestern has a similar requirement per a friend. I don't know if this means you need the scores in or you should have just taken them by the time you apply. Either way I'm up the creek.

 

[LubDubLubDub]

Neither Northwestern nor University of Chicago requires Step 2 to grant interviews. As far as I know, neither absolutely requires Step 2 before ranking either.

 

[Adcadet]

My buddy Imr at the University of Chicago came through again:

Good morning, The Internship Selection Committee is still reviewing applications. But don't hold your breath. Once a decision has been made on your application you will be notified through the ERAS email system, whether you have been granted an interview or not. My guess is "not." Have a wonderful day and thank you for your interest at the University of Chicago.

He's such a joker! I called last week and he was similarly joking around with me. I think he understands how frustrating this is for applicants because he keeps mentioning my "problem" which I think is his way of saying "stress." It's sometimes hard to understand him because he yells a lot just like me to overcome the language barrier. I'm glad I've worked hard to establish a good report with Imr, and I'm sure it will come up on Match Day.

 

[ladybirdim]

Hi guys, one question, how would you rank these programs? Thanks
- Boston U
- Tufts/NEMC
- U of Mass
- Lahey Clinic, MA
- Thomas Jefferson

 

[tum]

still praying for that last wave of invites (and not rejections).

 

[mtoto]

Got an invite today! I really must have been in the very last batch of UW invites because they literally only had one interview date left! Not encouraging but I am so excited about the possibility of living in Seattle that I'm gonna remain hopeful

 

[Jac1]

Oklahoma University, OK and Texas tech Lubbock for IM. Forget the boring place. Other than that, how are these universities when you apply for fellowship. Thanks in advance.

 

[stillhere]

so i got an interview offer from George Washington U on friday 1/12/07! then i email them back to schedule an interview and they say the dates are all filled!!!! hahaha! i bet that's their way of softening the blow of rejection!

 

[Adcadet]

Just now got a rejection from UofChicago. Were they actually offering interview invites this late? I'd love to hear if anybody got an interview offer from Chicago in January.

 

[blankspace_]

Columbia rejection yesterday. I figured that since they were taking so long to reply to me.

 

[ABPA]

Columbia rejection yesterday. I figured that since they were taking so long to reply to me.

Me too. It's not like I didn't expect it anyway, since all of the interviews are practically over now. The funny thing is there are still quite a few programs that never even bothered to reply at all

 

[dr.op]

Hm, interview invite to Thomas Jefferson... I've already certified my rank list, it's a bit too late guys!

 

[mig26x]

I dont know how a programs extends an invite so late in the process knowing all their spots for interview are filled!!

 

[07match]

got a rejection from emory a few weeks ago- which was about a month after i withdrew my application from them. took all of my inner strength not to send a smart-as* email to them.

not good for the ego, when a program i'm absolutely uninterested in rejects me- this is a great reason not to overapply, if anyone else out there in the future is considering applying to more than 15 medicine programs.

 

[turkleton]

Yea I hate it when stuff like that happens. I got two rejection letters from Columbia... wtf.. I get it. I know they get a couple thousand applicants but man did I want to tee off.

 

[mig26x]

I have received three rejections from the same program!!! Like if one time isnt enough!!!

 

[CJamblooze]

You can still change your list once you've certified, correct? Thanks.

 

[Charge!]

You can still change your list once you've certified, correct? Thanks.

According to the NRMP website:
Changes still can be made to the rank order list after it has been certified. However, every time the list is changed, it must be certified again.

So yes.

 

[nutcancer]

hey yall , MS III here. i have a question about penn IM. everyone keeps saying its impossible to get into unless your stellar. how accurate is this? i'm not a well rounded applicant but i have a very competitive step 1 score but i'm probably middle 1/3 rank and NO impressive EC's/research. i've honored my med rotation and have surgery coming up. from what i'm seen, though, AOA is a prereq to be competent for penn.

idk, what do people think? i would ask people in my school that interviewed at penn but there isn't anybody! is it even worth doing an away and hoping for the best with this 'reach' program?
