As things stand right now..i'm pretty much screwed not too many calls..infact,i would be done with all the interviews i have been invited for by december!so much for the "flood"..quant said:How about you Uh Oh?
drswam said:congrats quant.....i hope you get more.....goodluck....
hey beary....could you post a brief interview experience from UTSW? thanks and goodluck with Utah....
Uhoh.....goodluck with your step3......i would suggest to concentrate on it.....it is a tough one.....atleast it will make one feel stupid after sitting for it...

quant said:Thanks Dr Swam for your wishes. It was very nice to meet you on the interview trail. Wish you all the best for UTSW.
beary said:I am jealous that quant and Dr. Swam got to meet!! I sure hope to run into some of you folks on the interview trail.
PS Dr Swam, PM me if you have specific questions about the interview day before I post my whole experience here. It was very low key and non-stress.

Maybe the CAP meeting Beary?.....
They will remember you. Excessive correspondence is not necessarily. I assume that you written them a thank you correspondence after the interview.miko2005 said:I know this has been mentioned before -- but I am just not sure how much correspondence to have with programs that you are highly interested in and have already interviewed at. One of the programs I absolutely love told me to stay in touch as the interviewing season moved on. But I am not sure how to do that -- do I just e-mail to them every month and just say "I am still interested"?? That sounds kind of lame and cheesy. On the other hand, I don't want them to forget me.
Kinda related, I answered your question on the other thread in the General Residency issues forum...but anyways, definitely don't email them every month, that's overkill. You don't want to be annoying. They definitely won't forget you - but they are looking to see how interested you are.miko2005 said:I know this has been mentioned before -- but I am just not sure how much correspondence to have with programs that you are highly interested in and have already interviewed at.

Do you happen to be coming to interview at Iowa?
LADoc00 said:Interviewing for the dream job at the end of this week. The details include a yearly partner salary of 500k+, 12 weeks of vacation, full benefits etc etc.
Wish me luck
LADoc00 said:FINALLY, got this job offer today. Interestingly, I got another one last week that was also partnership track and 6 months of vacation/year (!), hmmmm I guess I was overcalling the "dream job" in my previous post. Luck to all you.
drPLUM said:Yeah but my cousin got the same deal graduating from a online radiology training program.
Seriously though, congratz!
malpighi said:Hi!
I don't post on this very much, but I was just wondering what people think about this - is receiving a phone call and letter from a program stating that they will be ranking you in the top "n" (smaller than class size) in any way meaningful?
Thanks!
drswam said:Rejection from Iowa......Dr. Dee doesnt like me looks like......i can live with that though......
quant said:Same here...sorry Beary, looks like we won't be meeting after all,
miko2005 said:I just cancelled a bunch of interviews in southern California and one in Seatle. I just hope its not a mistake.
CameronFrye said:I just finished up my interviews,
CameronFrye said:I just finished up my interviews, but I was wondering if anyone ever heard from Wake Forest? Before applying, if I had to guess which program wouldn't offer me an interview, I never would've guessed Wake.
drPLUM said:but it is weird that I never even heard from them.
Congratulations! It does feel good to be finished, doesn't it?CameronFrye said:I just finished up my interviews
You have mail. This post answers one of the questions I had for youdrPLUM said:Whoa! You've finished interviewing already? Wow, that makes me feel weird because I haven't even started yet. Well, I went to my home program but that is it so far. All the others are in January.
AngryTesticle said:You have mail. This post answers one of the questions I had for you
dlc6 said:I heard from Wake Forest but only because I contacted them. I had tried emailing them at first to see what the status of my application was but their address was invalid so I just called and spoke directly with Dr. Simpson, the vice chair of the department. He told me to give him about a day to locate my file and he would get back in touch with me. The next day I had an interview invitation waiting in my email. I probably would never have heard from them if I hadn't taken action but since I am sincerely interested in their program I did. If you are still interested in them, try calling them with the number listed in eras!

beary said:I have to get on another plane tomorrow for another interview and would rather do just about anything.
*considers cancelling most January interviews*
Buttercupp said:I have something like 12 interviews left. Brutal. Maybe my christmas gift to myself will be to cancel some of those interviews
beary said:Whoa!! I only scheduled 11 total and will probably cancel 2 of these.
I have Step 2 CK in 10 days so I am starting to freak out about that.
drPLUM said:I have Step II CK in 12 days, so that has been preoccupying me as well. I'm hoping Qbank serves me as well as it did for Step I.
I'm wondering if it will end up a bad idea to take it the week between Christmas and New Year's (given the distractions and general lack of concentration on my part).

CameronFrye said:I thought Qbank was better for Step II than step I. There seems to be a limited amount of clinical scenarios that can be asked about on this thing, so Qbank seemed to hit most of them.
drPLUM said:In your opinion, if you are scoring the same on Qbank for Step II as you did for Step I Qbank will you score the same on the actual test? In other words, are the Qbank difficulty levels equivalent? What do you think?
