Missed Interview Invitation

I noticed that a few of my top choices of programs have already sent out interview invitations and yet I have not gotten an invitation from them yet. Should I be concerned and start calling up the programs now or should I wait until November?

thanks!

Sooo that usually means that you are on the B list. While you haven't been outright rejected, you haven't been granted an interview. Your application is probably sitting in a pile amongst other applicants in which the program thinks has potential and will extend interview invites if they plan or need to interview more applicants. I would give the program a call or shoot them an email if you are truly interested. This will likely give your application a closer look now that you are being more proactive.

i am not applying to GS, but when i was interested in a prgm. i would first call the prgm. coordinator and "find out the status of your application" or you could email this inquiry but also mention your interest in the prgm. if you feel compelled, you could email the PD and Cc: the coordinator. this has worked for me for a couple of my now invites.

excuse my silly question...but how do you know if a particular program has already sent out interview invitations for general surgery?

thanks for letting me know.

It's so obvious where it is that it is easy to miss.
