from what i've heard, the stanford faculty members are still reviewing applicant files.

we've all been too busy recovering from our David vs. Goliath victory.

interviews are Nov 28, Dec 7, and Dec 14.

hope to see some of you in northern cali on one of the interview days once invites go out.

Haven't heard from BU either - just called this a.m., was told they already sent an interview offer by email! Only dates left 11/30, 12/7. I hope I'm not losing other emails. It was an .edu address.
 
Anyone else get an interview at JSEI?

I thought their confirmation email said that they would be notifying people of interviews after October 29th via email ("If you are selected to interview, you will be contacted via email after October 29.").

Any thoughts?
 
Is it bad that I haven't gotten a single interview yet? Should I start worrying?
 
WHen a program has sent out interviews (ie Northwestern), does this mean they generally send out a ton of invites and fill most of their spots in a few days, and the only hope of interviewing there if you didn't get one is a cancellation? Or is it usually a slow trickle of invites over a month or so?
 
I dont know about you guys, but I was told that the first couple weeks of october is when there's a lot of interview invite action... and it's now oct. 12th and decisions (either good or bad) aren't exactly flowing in the ol' inbox. I'm not super worried since, looking at this forum, it seems like there's not a lot of action yet, but i'm a little surprised at the slow trickle of things.
 
From my understanding (from talking to residents and looking on last year's SDN ophthal interview trail) --it's more late Oct that is the main 'influx' of invites.

hope that helps ease some minds for a few more days 😉
that's keeping me from worrying quite so much.

i also received UNC's invite. They offered me Dec. 8.

Tae, wanna switch dates?


keep patient everyone...lots of programs are still reviewing apps. if you haven't received a rejection, at least your still on the "maybe" list!
 
Wake Forest via email: Nov 16, 20, 29; Dec 3, 11, 14
 
So far interviews at BU, Brown, and UNC. All via email. Nothing via snail mail yet. Anybody heard from any of the new york city schools yet?
 
From what I remember from years past, the Manhattan programs were some of the last ones to send out invites.
 
yay! i got my first interview of the season!
thank god i was starting to go insane with anxiety

beaumont - snail mail - december 1st and 8th

also - in full expectation of a rejection letter was wait-listed by vanderbilt. anyone have any idea how this works? do i have to keep checking in? or is it more like don't call us we'll call you?
 
I just got a call from Loyola tonight for Nov 2.

So, on that note- anyone want to trade their Loyola Nov 1?

Or... University at Buffalo switch Nov 2 for Nov 3? I have that on Nov 2 there also, and I would love to be able to go to both interviews. So frustrating!

PM me if you'd like to switch!
 
After six rejections, just received my first invitation to interview!

I think I might accept that offer. 😀

email or snail mail man
 
the cleveland clinic invite came to whatever email address you listed as your permanent email address, not your current email address.

so make sure you check all your accounts!

also - anyone with a SLU invite willing to switch a nov 2 date for oct 30?
 
Recived Wake Forest Invite via e-mail. Same dates as mentioned above.
Hope to see you guys soon on interviews 🙂
 
Ask and you shall receive, called BU about status, email rejection an hour later. Good to officially join the club.

UMKC - Oct 31, Nov 7, Nov 27 - via snail mail
side note - another thread mentioned that their website is up

Rejections - Ohio ST via snail mail - just throwing this one in since I haven't seen it mentioned yet

Best to all
 
Did Cleveland Clinic come as a batch or individual email?
