I hope this doesn't come off as depressing
But with 31 Straight Rejections, and not a single invite, I can only expect the same from the other 83 programs I have yet to hear from since a majority of those 83 have sent out invites
I suppose score >230, a year of an unpaid clinical research fellowship, and 2 outstanding letters from Derm Gods doesn't really cut the mustard anymore
Presumably I should wait another week before throwing in the towel, but based on the trend, my ropes are running low!
Sorry to be Debbie Downer (wah wah waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh), but I just don't get it!
All I can say is hang in there!! We really don't know what to expect in the next couple of weeks and by the sounds of your accomplishments, you sound quite worthy for an invite. I know the game of patience is difficult, I am in the same boat, but I think if we can hang on for 2-3 more weeks, we all might surprise ourselves.
Do NOT throw the towel in yet!
Adding Cornell. 1/26 and 1/27.

Wow that's awsome! Are you an MD/PhD?

Hi IzzyMD09 --- sorry to hear about this. I have not followed all of your posts but is it correct that you have not gotten an interview invite yet? I don't want to sound so negative, but I would seriously consider looking into some backup plans at this point in the game.
Long-time lurker here and finally got an account. I applied for the first time 4 years ago and at that time, I got 3 invites. I also kept hoping I would get more "after Thanksgiving" but nothing else ever came. I ended up not matching. I reapplied a few years later and finally got in. I think it would help if, while staying optimistic that an invitation would be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks, you started looking into alternatives.
I am signed up to interview at Duke on Jan 14th but was hoping to switch with someone for Dec 16th. For the very few interviews I have, it kills me to have to let one go. I would really appreciate it and forever indebted! Please please pm me if interested.
Hey advice from anyone would be appreciated- scheduling and I'm trying to decide between UTSW and Duke. Any thoughts? If you have anything personal or specific, please private message me. We'll be done with this soon enough!
p.s. what happened to sore eye?
UTSW.
UTSW has a much better national reputation for derm.
UTSW is a department, Duke is a division (I think, correct me if I am wrong).
UTSW has more spots up for grabs.
Dallas is a much bigger and much more happening place than Durham.
