I think there are still many dates left. Nyu sent invites today w/ like 5 dates.Mount Sinai (today) had like 10+ dates left.
NYU listed 4 dates in their invite today but when I called to schedule they only had 3 dates in January available.I think there are still many dates left. Nyu sent invites today w/ like 5 dates.Mount Sinai (today) had like 10+ dates left.
But psychiatry is rapidly transitioning from being the NBA/NHL to being more like the NFL or MLB in that department.
So don't neglect the regular season!
Hey all,
Does anyone have a good way to word an email to a PD stating interest in their program? I haven't heard back from one of my top choices and I want to email out a "letter of interest." Having trouble wording it though...
Thanks in advance!

Similar stats and strong LORs and my IIs and waitlists have been VERY regionally specific. From upper midwest and basically applied to MW programs, states bordering the Great Lakes, and few scattered East Coast and Western programs. So far have really only heard from programs within a 10hr drive from where I currently live.I was wondering if there were any other Texans or people nearby who felt as if their II responses have been really geographically restricted. I applied to a scattered variety of programs throughout the U.S. and have heard back from nearly all of the programs in Texas, but not a peep from any programs in any other state. I feel like a fairly average applicant Step 1 -225, Step 2 239, and some good letters of recommendation. Maybe its just something specific to my application, but I'm curious if any other person from this area has had problems breaking out of the state.

Is this common during the interview cycle?Recently was interviewed at a program and was not interviewed by the PD (while other applicants were). Should I be concerned about this?
I didn’t hear back for 48 hours or so. Don’t panic!For anyone who received an II from USF-Tampa, how long after the call did you receive an email regarding scheduling? I got a call yesterday around 7pm, and they said they would email to schedule, but I haven't gotten an email yet. Im getting a little worried!

Recently was interviewed at a program and was not interviewed by the PD (while other applicants were). Should I be concerned about this?
Logistically, it probably isn't possible to have the PD interview every candidate on a given day, given the number of time slots and number of interviewees. I wouldn't personally take it as a bad sign. They aren't wasting any interview offers on people they don't want to evaluate for their program, you know? If they didn't like you all that much why interview you at all? I doubt you're getting shafted.
My understanding is that this is totally reasonable and expected even. Just be politecan someone please comment on the etiquette about asking to reschedule an interview? is this considered to be rude?
@Amygdarya UCLA was 10/19, OHSU and Penn were sometime last week like 10/10-10/12ish
It's been weeks since I last got an interview invite- currently have six, worried I won't get those extra 3 before season close. Should I chill out?
For DOs, it seems to be. US MD I think it is 7.I've had a couple trickle in so I think there is still a chance to get some invites, especially as people start to cancel. I got one just yesterday. I want 1 more to hit my personal comfortable number. Is 9 the magic number for psych?
I'd say be chill for now. People are probably beginning to hit their max # of interviews, meaning that they'll be canceling soon. I've already canceled a few and am planning to cancel a few more. I imagine other people are doing the same. But don't hesitate to contact an advisor who can make calls/pull strings on your behalf.It's been weeks since I last got an interview invite- currently have six, worried I won't get those extra 3 before season close. Should I chill out?
