I send hand-written thank you notes. I don't expect it to impact my ranking, and if I didn't send any I don't think it would impact my ranking. However, it is what I consider good manners, so I do send them. I send them because I'm genuinely thankful for the time taken and the opportunity, and this is the way I was taught to say thank you. If it isn't something you consider doing important, maybe just don't do it? I don't think it would affect you either way.

I think this hits the money. I think that the "framework" of the match shouldn't dictate our actions. The application cycle ends abruptly, but you begin the four year journey of working with human beings you briefly connected with come next July. So... do what you would normally do when you want to genuinely express gratitude to a fellow colleague or superior. While I don't think hand-written notes ever "boosted my spot", I can't say that they were ever noted to be "unappreciated". Furthermore, being nice never hurts. You never know who you will work with or for following residency.

Finally getting around to adding myself to this list. Apologies to those who have been so good about keeping it updated. Hopefully this will help posterity.

In brief, I am a US MD at a middling medical school. My pre-clinical grades were not particularly good, with a low pass and a fail. I took a LOA for depression and came back with consistently strong academic and clinical performance (majority honors, clinically, including in psych and psych sub-I, and very high Step 1 and CK scores). My LOA is explained with full disclosure, tactfully, in my personal statement (a decision which was strongly discouraged by some but I think has ultimately paid off). I have a good number of extracurriculars and leadership experiences involving working with diverse populations but no real research or publications. I think my letters and comments are quite strong, with many noting I perform above my level of training. I did an away at a very competitive program and got a letter from a big name in psychiatry. I originally applied to 50 programs but withdrew from 15 of those fairly quickly because I was blessed with so much interest (mostly from academic programs and not community programs, which I was not expecting). To say the least, I have been very surprised at the caliber of programs that have offered me interviews. (I wish I could travel back in time to when I first went on leave and was convinced I had ruined my life, and tell myself that it was all going to be okay! Which is why I am sharing so much now...) I have been cautiously cancelling interviews so as not to hoard, knowing that I have some very real weaknesses in my application, so I will have to be careful to not interview at too many reaches.

Posted this in swap forum but hoping more people can see it...
Any possibility that anybody would be willing to swap Dec 11 and 12 University of Cincinnati Triple Board interview date?
Please PM me.
Thanks :)
 
Got Rush the other day. Looks like they have few spots left. I sent a love letter in a couple days ago & got a canned response back. Wondering if that impacted their decision to offer me a spot or it's just chance.
 
For ppl getting interviews based on region. Any advice on how to make yourself more competitive for a specific region?

Are you a current applicant or applying in the future? As a current applicant you would contact programs to let them know about your ties to the region.

As a future applicant, if possible list different current and permanent addresses (ie, use your parents address as your permanent) which will get you through more geographic filters if you went somewhere else for med school. If you have no ties to a region at all an away can help get a foot in the door.

What do you mean? For those of us getting interviews based on region, I would think by definition that means having significant ties to the region. If you mean how do you get interviews in regionally biased places when you have no ties to the area (i.e. Texas, California), probably away rotations and letters of interest.

So you think living in a region or having your perm address be in that region is helpful?

I'm a future applicant. I'm trying to basically match in around a 2 hour area of the DMV. 4-5 hours maybe too.

Had to look that one up. Thought you must really enjoy waiting in line...

Back to reality... yes, I would imagine having some ties to the area, including living there yourself, could be helpful. It shows you may have a valid interest in the program, in living in that state or area, and may have a pre-existing support system should you end up there. These things can make residents more effective and, I would hope, less likely to burn out (?).

I have a question about contacting programs after an initial letter of interest. I sent a couple of letters of interest to programs near my hometown a couple weeks ago and haven't heard back from them. I will be going home for the holidays (both Thanksgiving and Christmas/NY) and was wondering if I should reach out to the programs again to better arrange my travels. I don't want to annoy them, seeing as I had already emailed them previously. However, it would be much easier in terms of travel arrangements. Thanks!
 
UPMC recently :) updated on google doc sheet. It seems we never really decided which format was easier.. oh well.

Just cancelled one and will probably cancel another. Talked to one of my classmates who is doing the same. Hopefully things will move a little bit...

Has anyone heard from Penn State Hershey, either way? I emailed and heard nothing back and see here that nobody has posted an interview.

Edit: I see a couple in the Google spreadsheet from mid-Oct, my bad.

I think it's a combo of the number of ii's going out slowing down and people actually getting busier now that we're traveling for interviews. I got 6 of my interviews in the first week and then 3 more and a waitlist (maybe 2?) in the following 8 weeks, so haven't had much to report other than a few rejections trickling in here and there. I'd imagine it's probably similar for most people who've already gotten a good chunk of their interviews scheduled.
 
Hello, hello. Irrelevant, but thought I'd share this manual written by a psychiatrist, Nyapati Rao, on her experience in residency training as an IMG: International Medical Graduate Physicians. (Lit-stalking PDs on a slow ED night--funnnn).

So far, seems like an useful & relevant guide to psychiatry residency training in the U.S.--good for anyone to read, regardless of which country your medical school is in.

They only interview a small number of applicants (~60), if you're super interested I would reach out sooner than later.

Edit: somehow missed the line about emailing. I would call if I were you, the PC is awesome
 
There isn't a current interview review thread, right? Should we update the one from last year then?
 
May I ask where? Can't seem to find it. If you could post the link it would be greatly appreciated
 
Seriously, how are they going to rank us after the interview? or how important is the interview unless you are a weirdo?

So far my IVs have been super chill. Just couple of my interviewers took some notes after my responses but other than that they all tried to sell the program and know little bit more about me. I started to wonder what will come into a play when the time comes for ranking? They are just super-nice to everyone.

Curious about the process too. Are we ranked before interviews and then shifted based on interview? Any insight about the process would be helpful.

I’m wondering about the post-interview ranking process, too. Aside from the outstanding applicants and/or applicants who are just a perfect fit for the program, I cannot imagine how the rest of the applicants - accomplished on paper and perfectly nice in person - will be ranked. Which is to say, I appreciate the difficulty of the job.

Sometimes I think we should just throw all the apps up in the air and rank them as they fall...
But it's true, aside from the top 10% we REALLY love and the bottom 10% that we have reservations about, the middle 70-80% can feel almost indistinguishable, and all perfectly acceptable. So--that's where YOUR preference matters! The ones in the middle that rank us higher (hopefully because they want to come here!) will have a far better chance of matching here.

Do not underestimate how much can be gleaned from the brief interview. I always screen out a few psychopaths each year via interview (im sure others are missed). Here are the things we cat get from your interview: your interpersonal and communication skills, your commitment and interest in psychiatry and working with the mentally ill, whether you would be a good fit for the program, how much you actually know about the program and your level of interest coming here, and whether you have leadership potential. The interview also provides a chance for a more in depth review of your application and for certain applicants a chance to explain any deficiencies and highlight any strengths.

I've been in departments that are large and unwieldy and so one of the things I'm always looking for is whether someone will be able to hack it without structure and isn't looking for handholding and parenting (which an alarming number of students seem to be).

Hi Splik, What do you mean by handholding and parenting? Ability to work independently?

There are some programs that are known for coddling their residents. And there are a lot of applicants that seem to want surrogate mothers/fathers in the program directors. there are those programs out there, but such applicants would not be a good fit for large unwieldy departments where that level of support does not exist. conversely there are people who would feel suffocated and annoyed at being at programs where there's all that coddling and hand holding. Hopefully no program expects beginning residents to work independently - ideally there should be a gradation in supervision so interns receive a lot of supervision and senior residents largely fly solo with more targeted input to hone their skills.

Ok. This is driving me crazy, so I guess I'll just ask here and stop speculating...
One program has placed me on "hold" and another two have placed me on "waitlist"... what the hell does this mean? Is there a realistic chance of being called for an interview?

I believe that it means that you may or may not receive an interview depending on whether there are cancellations.

IMG's -- how many invites do you have so far?
 
Hello! I have an interview at Case Western Reserve University Hospitals on 12/15 that I would like change it with 12/01, 12/6 or 12/08. Does anybody have an iv on these dates and is willing to change?
 
I am rejected for a visa that means I can't come to US to have an interview that automatically makes me ineligible for match process...I had a few interviews and step3 exam, but those didn't help to get a visa. I am so down and feel hopeless. Any suggestion or insight for my career that i can do outside the US for couple of years?

I have 3. ( gone to 1) plus some waitlists. (Only applied at 70)

My friend with almost identical stats (same school, both step scores within <5 pts. He has 8, but he applied to more and he did not exclude NYC). He and I are both also waiting for cs scores.

Thank you for the congrats. Instead of focusing on there being only three, I'm just trying to make them the best 3. And yes, I am an IMG. (More specifically a US-Big3 Caribbean ms4 non-traditional)

Got an invite to the waitlist a few weeks ago, changed to scheduled last week. There were no other interview spots available and just a few waitlists left.
