At this point in time, I don't expect programs to become more lax about interviews. In late January, that might no longer be the case.Supersheep said:Sorry, quick question... are programs starting to get a bit more lax about interviewing?? I have an interview Mon at UVA and Tues at UofMich and have heard nothing from either (I just got home and kind of expected something either in e or snail mail). I fly out at 8:00am tomorrow for Charlottesville... at least I can call UofM on Monday, but goodness... this is really frustrating. (at least these are my last 2...)
AngryTesticle said:Hopefully UVA and UMich will at least tell you where and when to report on the days of your interviews. Failure to do so is pretty poor form. Itineraries can be tough to put together and may not be finalized until the day before the interview!
Thanks AT and I hope that all is well there! Indeed, I just want to know where and when to show up... that would be helpful! I'd look kind of silly wandering around the UofM campus Tuesday asking people I'll keep calling...AngryTesticle said:At this point in time, I don't expect programs to become more lax about interviews.

Thank you beary- I'll do that. Glad to hear that you're done with interviews... best of luck with making decisions here!beary said:I had to call the program secretary at UMich while on the road the day before from my cell phone to find out where and when I was supposed to report. I had never received an email or anything. I think I heard from UVA a few days before.

That's weird...maybe the program administrator at Michigan is new and/or not very diligent about this. I don't remember having these issues with UMich last year. Oh well. You probably had to go to Fantone's office first thing in the morning. His office is pretty easy to find.SuperSheep said:Thanks AT and I hope that all is well there!

Feb 2nd!drPLUM said:Probably me...Jan 24th.
I totally agree.drPLUM said:3. This is only my opinion, but lunches with residents are better if it is a "get to know each other" type of thing, not so much a "here is some info about the program" thing.
Congratulations Aubrey! Now, I have but one suggestion for you: drink heavily. I'm a doctor (albeit not a real one) and this is serious medical adviceAubrey said:And I'm done with interviews!! w00t!!

The force is strong in that one.Aubrey said:Done and done.

Hey Dr Nick, I really hope that things will be looking up for you here! I know everything is really starting to get a little more crazy and hectic (I just finished last week and am thinking about starting a prophylactic PPI ), but the programs will remember you. I understand and feel the same way, it's tough. I'm really sorry to hear about your home school too- if you'd like to know and think that it would make you feel better, it couldn't hurt to ask them why. Best of luck to you and I agree- we all need a big fast forward button to make it March!Dr.Nick Riveria said:I feel like the programs are forgetting me, too. I started early Nov., ended dec. 21, and haven't really heard back from any programs. I have been a little timid about asking for second looks but I guess I have to get over it if I want to match.
To make matters worse, my own school didn't invite me for an interview, which is such a blow because it is not an overly competitive program but I was counting it to be a safety 'cause it is better than not matching. I am pretty embarrassed about it and don't know if I should ask why and bring attention to it.
I just can't wait for all of this to be over. March can't come soon enough!

Haha! Not surprising that I raised the suspicion that I was an AngryTesticle.drPLUM said:BTW... AT, I enjoyed lunch the other day. You guys have a super program and some outstanding people. I suppose there is no good way for an interviewee to ask if a particular resident is Angry Testicle. Heh, can you imagine being wrong about it...
Interviewee: Say, call me crazy but you remind me of this internet poster called Angry Testicle.
Resident: WTF! Are you some kind of weirdo?
Interviewee: Ok, well... looks like I'm not matching here.
drPLUM said:I know there was a thread earlier this year, but are you guys updating programs with new info as you go along (test scores, new pubs, etc)? Will it even matter this late in the season?
