I thought I would bump our thread for luck. I have also received invites from Brigham, U of Chicago, and Hopkins. I got rejected from Loyola (IL). Waiting on 6 now, only one left in my top 10 🙂

I feel very lucky thus far. I also can't believe that I will be finished as a student in 7 months! I applied for graduation in the spring, my last time! Woohoo!

Strong work. Is that in the order you will rank them?

Don't you think Treg should go on all those interviews first before making up a rank list?

But I agree, strong work with all those invites, Treg. It will be fun to see where you end up in March.

Hi all,

I have finished 14 interviews in general surgery. I heard on the interview trail that there were around 11-15 MD/PhDs applying this year (via a research contact I met with at one program).

Now I am starting to get the emails/letters/phone calls (and one all expense paid revisit so far), which is a strange experience.

Is anyone else out there in my boat?

[calvinNhobbes]

After not matching last year, I'm back with a vengeance!

42 interview offers and will attend 17 of them.

Crossing fingers that things work out this time!

Wow! Congrats! What did you do during your year out to improve so much?

Lots and lots of networking. ERAS application is practically identical from last year.

For those of you wanting to do competitive specialties, do NOT disappear during your PhD years. Go to grand rounds, conferences, clinic, do call, whatever, because you will not have time to do it when you go back as a third year. You need every advantage possible.

Could you provide some specific examples of networking that you did? What are some things you found to be particularly useful? Thanks a lot!

Between my home program as well as the other ortho program in my area, I attended 20+ hours of morning trauma/x-ray rounds, grand rounds, M&M, didactics, indication conferences, dissection labs, bioskills labs, journal clubs, and in-training review each and every week for 6+ months.

This was on top of a full time research position. You show you are that dedicated to a specialty and you'll get faculty that will write great LORs and go to bat for you.

Strong work! As you said, networking. People with only 1 interview have matched. And I gather that networking had something to do with it. 🙂

Hi all,

Good luck to everyone participating in the match this week! Be sure to post your results 🙂

I am trying to keep myself busy for the next few days....

[nomogram3]

Good luck in the match to my fellow Mud-Phuds. I'm 13 interviews, a lot of airline miles, and some shocking credit card bills down, and hoping I get my first choice.

 

[QofQuimica]

Best of luck to all of you.

 

[texasguy]

any interest in revitalizing this thread for this year's residency match?? 😀

 

[natusss]

Anyone want to get this thread going for match 2013-2014?
