Did anyone else get MD Anderson other than tag_do?

Nothing on my end so far. Do we know if this was the MD Anderson/Univ of Texas at Houston program or the Orlando Health System/MD Anderson Florida program that offered the interview?

 

[tooquiet]

I see your point. Thanks Jimmy. I was talking about the Houston one.

 

[Blackcomb]

Rejection from UPenn today

 

[vinnyjch]

Rjection from UPenn.

 

[Aplastic Crisis]

Rjection from UPenn.

Same here 👎

 

[SwineLake98]

Sorry, guys 🙁

I got an invite from Penn.

I haven't heard anything from the NYC programs (MSKCC, Cornell...). They seem to be taking their time, which is making planning hard!

 

[tele man]

As of now, Penn has me in limbo. No invite or reject.

 

[firstgenedoc]

University of Louisville and Albert Einstein college of medicine 👍

 

[vinnyjch]

Another rejection from Johns Hopkins🙁..2 already today.

 

[Aplastic Crisis]

Are there any D.O.'s applying? How are you guys doing with the interviews?

 

[DrVanNostran]

applied to 24, hope to go on half.

I'm looking to stay at my home program or another program in town, so I honestly didn't apply to too many places. My program director recommended I go on 6-7 interviews. I applied to 10 places total. I've been invited by 4 programs so far and scheduled interviews with all of them. I'm hoping to schedule about 4 more. I'm definitely less stressed than my GI and Cards friends who applied to 30+ places!

Thanks for the info. Seems like I am hearing a lot of people apply to 25-30, go on 10.

Are you guys getting a good range of dates to apply?

 

[happygolucky1]

nope. 4 dates avg.

 

[gutonc]

Are you guys getting a good range of dates to apply?

FWIW,.we're offering 5 dates with a 6th in reserve. Planning to interview 6-8/day. We'll see how it goes.

DOING

I have two invites to Vcu and Thomas Jefferson.i have been rejected by UNC , Hopkins and UPenn. I guess the latter were to be expected. But I was aiming high. I only applied to 12 programs total because I love my home program I only applied to program
Conciveay better than my own.

I'm not opptumistic anymore are coming though. Anyone else ?

 

[whitecoatjimmy]

Invite this evening from UCSF. Only 2 interview dates in September were offered, neither of which were convenient, but I won't complain too much.

[gls5377]

There are still a lot of programs (i.e Clev clinic, Univ of Rochester NY, Univ Maryland and, UPItt) that I have not seen anything on. do you all think it will be soon or what?

 

[happygolucky1]

I sure hope so. Its now or never.

 

[Successmatch]

IV from U conn

 

[SwineLake98]

FYI, for anyone else who got UCSF Friday, since I can't be in the Bay Area until October, I politely asked if they could accommodate me in oct and they found another date!

 

[anemic]

rejection from Northwestern and upenn

 

[happyslav]

Northwestern and NYU.... I was expecting them though
It feels like there is going to be a lot of activity this week 🙂 Ready to just get the rejections over with

 

[akoult]

Duke's Heme/Onc program.

9 dates.

 

[Alemtuzumab]

It seems like a lot of programs are interviewing on the same dates and I trying to see how to prioritize scheduling. Any thoughts on the relative merits of UWash, Columbia, UPenn and NIH/NCI? I'm specifically interested in basic science research and preparation for an academic career. I'm more interested in malignant heme than in solid tumors (but not necessarily BMT), but the basic science is the most important thing for me. Any insight would be appreciated!

 

[anemic]

Thanks for the info. Seems like I am hearing a lot of people apply to 25-30, go on 10.

Are you guys getting a good range of dates to apply?

I applied to 35 as wasnt sure how many i would get and how flexible they would be right now have about 10 scheduled and still waiting to hear from about half (and half of those have sent some int and rejections on this forum)... Lots of dates overlap... Seems most are thurs, fr, or monday options

 

[4life]

Just now, reject from University of Wisconsin Program 👎

 

[opinionkitten]

Hello All,

I am waiting on 1 LOR to get uploaded. I have emailed the writer a few times but have not heard back. Should I be in panic mode/get another LOR writer ASAP or chill out and let him get around to it? I have 5 interviews in hand as of now, 2 of which are from my top choices.

Thanks for your help!

 

[vinnyjch]

IV or Rej?

 

[happygolucky1]

Ask your PD to nudge your letter writer in the right direction, unless the letter writer is the PD 😉

 

[fischer]

Mixed bag today. Rejection from Northwestern, invite from Wake, UMDNJ, and OSHU!!

 

[SwineLake98]

Just got an invite from Mt. Sinai.

 

[tele man]

Got my pretty much expected reject from Penn today. 5/7 invites so far for me with another 7 to go.

 

[anemic]

Invite today... Seems like a great program but not nci designated... Still worth interviewing over somewhere like minnesota or colorado or yale? Same question for cornell? Im looking for good balance between heme and onc although tilting heme
