Case Western batch #1, 10/28 via email
dates 11/17 & 11/18
dates 11/17 & 11/18
vandy rejection...not feeling great...![]()
Has any one heard from emory, unc, or indiana. thanks
Just received an affirmative action statistical form (snail mail) from Penn State, with a note stapled to it that mentions being an "...equal opportunity employer" and ends with "we extend our best wishes to you during this year's match." Is this a polite rejection, or supplemental? Definitely not an invite packet, but a bit strange. Anyone else get this? It's dated Sept 29th!4424,
Penn St. sent me a packet in the mail over the weekend. Good luck
Emory by email 10/30 batch 1 offering 12/2 and 12/3
You have to call to confirm....make sure to sound excited. She kept repeating "Are you excited to come here?" "Are you sure you're excited."
I was wondering if we had all agreed on a date that we should expect most interviews by? 😀
I'm still holding out hope that all those top-heavy folks will start discarding interviews at places without big names that I'd like to be....
i hope it wasn't today...![]()

xaelia...i thought u were one of those top heavy folks! 😀
Anyone heard from Colorado? Bascom palmer? UCLA? UCSD? UC Irvine? Duke?
Casey was a pity interview because I was already there. As for "top-heavy" and hoping for cancellations...why aren't you taking azzarah to task instead of me? 😉xaelia...i thought u were one of those top heavy folks! 😀

If it helps anyone, I have heard back from (either interview offers or rejections) from Baylor, MEEI, Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Utah, Scheie, Vandy, stanford, UCSF, USC, Wash U, Mayo, Iowa, Northwestern.
I didn't find out southwestern had a secondary application until I interviewed at Baylor....So maybe that's why they never got back to me either way....
Anyone heard back from Colorado?
If you applied to 40+ programs as I did, expect to receive a minimum of 30 rejection letters...know what I mean?

Be optimistic guys!!!!! No reason to panic just yet! The only time we are allowed to panic is if we don't match come match-day!!!! Deal? 😀
Indiana University invite (email today) - one day with a morning and afternoon session 12/2.
4424 and xaelia have a point...seems like some of us (including me) are worrying more than we need to! azzarah is absolutely a superstar, like many on this board. but let's calm down for the sake of the applicants applying next year: remember, if top-heavies like above are applying to 40+ programs that will drive everyone else to apply, and make the interview process even more random! Just like not double-booking, maybe we can increase the confidence of the next generation--and the chances for interview--by not creating the atmosphere that everyone needs to apply to every program. I think if next years' superstars apply to fewer programs that'll help take some of the perceived pressure off for everyone else to apply to >50 programs. Ophtho applications per person has skyrocketed by 50% when there's been no increase in the number of total applicants (since '99). Currently there's a 85-90% match rate for US seniors.
Just my two cents...spread the love andto everyone!
not only is azzarah a superstar...she's pretty cute as well!!!😉
Same here with Columbia Rejection x2...Batch 2
Indiana Invite....1 date on 12/2...what are they thinking??!?!?
Hehe, how many did ya apply too? 😉 I applied to that many programs because I switched to ophtho very last minute and did not get to do as much bonding with the ophtho dept at my school....And pretty much no ophtho research whatsoever! I'm going to stay optimistic though! I fell in love with ophtho and couldn't see myself doing anything else! 😍 👍 Chances are, most of us will match this year! Last time I checked >80% of those who go to interviews match! Had I applied to the other specialty I thought I wanted to go into, I would have only applied to 4 or 5 programs....Ok, maybe 10 since that's how many you can do on ERAS for a set price....
