Congratz! I think you're the first here to get an interview offer in California. 😀

I applied to most of the California programs but have yet to hear anything.

As for UCI, I think it is well regarded. 👍
 
Nice, you will love the OC.

Add to my list: Wash U, Uni of Arkansas, and Morristown Memorial (NJ).

I might need to cancel some already. So far I have ten including the courtesy interview at UCSF-Fresno. Is it too early to cancel????

😱

You are the EM-Pimp! 10 interviews! Congratz, that is awesome. 👍 So what do you have now and what are you thinking about canceling?

Today was a quiet day interview-wise. Wish I could stop checking my e-mail... :laugh:

I have no idea which ones I want to cancel. What criteria are you using EMapplicant? Feel bad cancelling them; spent so much money already throughout the whole process. I just have no idea where I want to be in the US. I am very adaptable. Yeah, I cannot stop checking my bloody email. People think I am turning OCD! Take care y'all.

:laugh:

I'm shooting for about 12 interviews, I think. So far I have 7 scheduled, so there's no need to cancel any.

OCD :laugh: I almost wish all interview invites came out at a set time...

Think about it - after four years of college and four years of medical school, your fate rests in the hands of an administrative assistant who may have earned a GED. Aren't you glad you paid those MCAT fees, took those long, heart-stabbing exams, ponied the price for the USMLE, and sent your cash to ERAS 😀

Seriously - these things happen and they happen in the real world. I have always been a firm believer in calling programs you want to interview with. It worked well for me...

Gotta problem with people who have thier GED???? 😡




🙂
 
I added Sinai Grace in Detroit to my ?eclectic eleven.?

(edit: Make that 10--please don't tell the programs I can't count. In my defense, eclectic eleven has a better sound to it.)

I incidentally have no problem with people with GEDs or any other potentially offensive letters.

As for canceling interviews, I have started thinking about that since I have some programs I?m really excited about and haven?t heard from a few more I had high Pre Test interest in, but I?m thinking I?m going to use above 12 as the number to start to prune back a little.

Continued good luck to all.

I was wondering what types of scores it takes to get an interview at UTSW specifically. Thanks to anyone who has been offered an interview there that replies.

Hi utlonghorn50, my board scores were step1=239, step 2=244. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Do you know much about the Southwestern program? I'd be interested to hear opinions from those in the know.

And I forgot about Mayo... Just got it today
 
Thanks for the reply EMapplicant. I do not know that much about the UTSW program. I just asked because it is of local interest to me.
 
For those of you interviewing at Mayo, it is, IMHO, nicer at the Marriott than the Kahler. Both are good (and paid for! 🙂 ) but the Marriott is newer. And, as with any other program, go to dinner the night before if at all possible.

BTW - It is a FANTASTIC program! I truly believe that it will very soon be considered as prestigious as Mayo's other residency programs. Of course, I am a bit biased, it was my #1, and I haven't regretted it for a second. 👍 PM me if you have any questions.

Thought I would join in. 🙂 These are the places that have offered me interviews:

Univ of Mich

Hennepin
Rochester
Brown
U of Conn
Christ Advocate
UMass
Grand Rapids

For those of you that have not done an away rotation in Cali, Oregon or AZ, have you heard from programs out there?

Also, after Dean's letters go out on November 1, do interviews actually start being offered the same day? ie Do PD's actually read the letters or do they just wait to offer interviews until then?

Hi Jeff, I am a former EMT turned med student headed for emergency medicine residency. I am curious as to which Carolina program were you referring to?

Thanks!

Poor Harriet... no answers yet?

"Carolinas" is Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, NC.
