Jesus, this is already stressful.
 
I got an interview to UCLA-Harbor, UMaryland, and Dartmouth. Kinda bummed that people seemed to be getting interviews at Emory and I haven't gotten one
🙁
 
how "complete" does your application have to be to get an interview?
 
Each program has different criteria for when they consider an application. I am still missing 1 LOR and have 3 interviews, but everything else is in. Some places say on their website that they won't consider for interviews until they receive dean's letter... which sucks for making travel plans! I've heard Ob is rather score heavy - so they want the transcript and USMLE transcript in.
 
how "complete" does your application have to be to get an interview?

I applied in the beginning of September/mid-Sept with just my CAF, transcript, USMLE scores got four interviews. I added my PS at the end of Sept and got one more-- no LORs or pics submitted yet. I think tiredmom is right, different schools have different levels of what they consider to be complete, but it may be score driven. At any rate, I think you should submit whatever you have now and add documents as you complete them. It was pure laziness/procrastination on my part not submitting everything but according to ACOG, many of these places interview as little as 30-50 ppl. They might decide that they want you to be one of those people based on whatever you have completed now so I would submit!!!

My application is not complete yet (all of my letters aren't in) and I have received 4 interviews so far--Bayfront (St. Petersburg), Orlando, Emory, and Wake Forest. Hopefully, once everything is complete, more offers will come in!

has anyone else heard from Baystate (Tufts?) or University of Washington (i.e. U-Dub)? I just got the standard thanks for applying email from U-Dub.

Also, those who did get granted interviews there, were your apps complete except for the Dean's Letter?

Hey Lovinlife, was University of Wisconsin snail mail or email. I'm sorry I keep asking that question but I stupidly have not been checking my mailbox because I am on an away rotation and today I had the realization that I might be missing out on interviews because my mail is back at home.
 
So far . . . Hopkins, Thomas Jefferson, Scott & White, University of Washington Seattle . . . waiting on lots more!

Anyone getting any offers through post-office mail and not email? The reason I ask is because I'm on two months of away rotations and didn't think about the prospect of getting offers through regular mail!
 
For people who heard from Hopkins and UNC, when did you get your app (CAF, transcripts, LoRs) in and how long did it take for you to hear from them?

Also, anyone heard from: Penn, Pitt, Wake Forest, Northwestern, Brown, UAB, MCV, UVA, Brig + Women's yet?

Got an interview at Case Metro/Cleveland Clinic today!
 
For those of you who have heard from Hopkins and UNC, when did you submit your app (CAF, LoRs, Transcripts) and when did you get the interview invitation?

Anyone heard from:
Northwestern
Brown
Brig & Women's
Wake Forest
UAB
MCV
UVA
Penn
Pitt
 
hey bellalou,

out of the ones you've listed there, many of which I've applied to, I still haven't heard anything either. I submitted my app on 9/3. I heard from Hopkins on around 9/7 with my usmle, caf, personal statement, photo, and one lor.
My list of interviews as it stands is:

Hopkins
Emory
Baylor
Univ. Chicago
Duke

I still haven't heard from UNC, which I have to admit is increasing my rolaids intake. Also I guess people are hearing from Cornell???? I'm going to have to take an Ambien tonight😳
 
I received invite from JPS in Fort Worth today.

My list so far:
St. Joe's - Denver
New Hanover - Wilmington, NC
Wake Forest
MUSC
JPS

Bellalou - I heard from Wake Forest about a week ago (9/28).
Still waiting patiently for my others, including some on your list. For those of you who have heard from Duke, UNC - when was your app complete? Mine didn't complete until midway through last week. Augh - the stress!
 
i'm in the same boat as some of y'all! getting worried that i haven't heard from hopkins, baylor, duke, wakeforest...gotten alot of the same interviews as alot of y'all but those listed still havn't gotten back to me. on another note, i got an email from pennsylvania hospital a while back saying they were missing a LOR and needed it to review my app, but it's been in like 2weeks now and no response...should i e-mail them?
 
Hey sizzlefizzle...which UMDNJ program did you apply to...New Brunswick, Camden, or Newark? Just curious.
