silence is still better than rejection. hopefully, we all will have more IVs within the next couple of weeks.

Wish there's facebook-like "like" button here. I am at two interviews and lots of silence too.

if i'm not mistaken, it used to be a MedOnc only program. Now, it's a combined program. There're a few like that this year.

I don't think so. In their website it says 2 years Oncology fellowship, and on ERAS it is listed under Medical Oncology specialty.

what does it mean if you receive an email saying you're on their waiting list? what are my chances this late in the season to get invite from that program later on.. I wish they could tell me how far down the waiting list I am.
 
Uminn has 6 spots in NRMP. UIC has 5 spots. I think Minn has the better reputation, but Chicago >> Minneapolis.

2998155F0 NYMC-Westchester Med Ctr-NY - Hematology and Oncology/Clinical NY ACTIVE 1553531101 1 <----Quota

There may be more than 1, but looks like 1 is going into the match as of today.
 
I got rejections from BU, Moffitt and Hopkins..all at once... ;(
 
Just an FYI, the last IV invitation that I saw from last year's forum was 9/17. So should have two more weeks...

Has anyone heard from Univ of Illinois at Chicago? Not University of Chicago. Thanks
 
Anyone know anything about the program at Brown university?
 
Hello. I was hoping for some comments on a few programs. I applied to many programs and my invites have been random. I have limited days for interviews and wanted to know which of the mid/low tier programs I should cancel. I am interested in solid tumors and don't have location preference. Thanks.

I am not sure about these and how would you rank them:
Brown
UMDNJ Robert Wood
U of Indiana
Dartmouth
Stony Brook
Advocate Lutheran Gen Hospital in
UTSW
 
where else are you interviewing at? if IMG I would go every where
Brown, U Indiana and Darthmouth I think are the best from your list..don't know much about the others, so I might be wrong..

UTSW should be at the top of your list. Tier 1 in my book.

UTSW is the "strongest" program there. Indiana is amazing for testicular and lymphoma. Dartmouth is small but has great GI oncology. Brown is basically a (very good) community program. Not much basic science research but good clinical training, weakest in heme stuff. RWJ (or whatever it's called these days) has decent clinical training and good research opportunities.

If I was going to cancel any of those it would be Advocate and Stony Brook. UTSW would be next on my list but only because I hate Texas (it's a great program). Keep UTSW, Indy and Dartmouth for sure, let the rest fall as you like 'em depending on how many you have time/money for.
 
IV West irginia University.09/04/.any comments on this program? txs!
 
1. UW Fred Hutchingson
2. NIH/NHLBI
3. Tuft Univ
4. North Short/LIU Hospital
5. University of Buffalo/Roswell Park
6. Univ. Connecticut
7. Tulane
8. West Virginia University
9. MSU
10. Beaumont Univ
11. Texas A&M
12. Baystate Regional
13. Newark BIMC



Please help on my ranking order and also help eliminate any bad ones. I'm interested in BMT/Malignant Heme. However, I'm also looking for well-rounded clinical training as well. Gutonc's input will be greatly appreciated.
