Opinions? Statistics?
Opinions? Statistics?
I had a question about interviewing at competitive programs. Without trying to sound super humble here, I seem to have gotten many interviews at some really competitive programs, and I dont know why. I am a DO student, with great board scores, good letters (albeit from unknowns in the field), but the rest of my application is just plain average. I am kind of scared because at least 7 or 8 of the 15 programs I plan on interviewing at are pretty darn competitive. UMich, UPitt, UIowa, Case, CCF, Mayo Jax to name a few. I also have interviews at less competitive but solid and maybe desireable programs as well (ie. Loyola, UWisc, Penn State, Henry Ford). I think I interview ok, but I really am wondering if I should try and score some more interviews at less desireable programs to stack the bottom of my rank list. Anyone have any opinions here? Is 15 interviews enough if at least half are super competitive? Am I being ******ed?
I think I just may need to get drunk...........
Ketafol,
I think you and I are somewhat the same guy.
I'm in the same club as you guys, other than the fact that I am also couples matching.
Not sure how many less desirable programs to interview at. I have a whole bunch of offers I haven't scheduled yet.
Green912, I go to school with you and smgilles.
This whole process is just bizarre....how can I get invites from CCF, Mayo, Dartmouth, and MGH.....but not Iowa?

When people say rank 10-12, do they mean rank 10-12 different programs or would an advanced and categorical at the same program count. For example, if I ranked 6 programs advanced and categorical spots, that would technically count as 12. So should we rank 10-12 different programs or just 10-12 spots overall? Thanks.
