Anyone have a rough idea on how many people ID programs tend to interview per slot? Just curious.

Members don't see this ad.

I can only provide a few examples from a few of the programs that offered me Interviews. In University of Iowa's email they had 3 interview dates they offered, my interview day had 5 people (I've heard they interview up to 8 people sometimes) so that's between 15 and 24 people they interview.

Cleveland Clinic in there email to me offered 7 interview dates and stated they interview 3 people on each day making for a total of 21 people they interview.

No idea if other programs interview more or less people (I think most of my other interviews just offered me a few days but didnt tell me how many people they interview on any given day).

Hope that helped!

Not sure how up-to-date or accurate it is, but some programs will list how many people they interviewed precisopre on AMAs freida

Can anyone give me a feel for how the UCSD program is regarded nationally? It's obviously a well funded research program, though it's not part of UCSF.
 
Do you guys think programs are still sending out interviews or do you think most have reviewed all their applications and sent out all of their interviews by now?

if anyone has imputes about the IV's yet to attend and any questions about the ones attended feel free.
my question is, for the programs that have CCM most of the CCM programs are outside the match.
do these programs let you know about the outcome of the interviews prior to the ID match?
I guess for some it may affect ranking ...... but I hear its not allowed. on the other hand I hear that the CCM programs are starting to fill up, I also wonder if I should contact the CCM programs to find out.


Best of luck for the Match.

I am wondering how you did manage to attend all those interviews in 3rd year!

I'm wondering the same thing! No way would I be able to get that much time off, I'm already struggling in terms of my schedule to go to 10 of them.

On the NRMP Charting the Outcomes PDF, if you rank >3 programs, you have 90% of matching with almost 100% chance of matching with 7 ranks. This information is from 2011, but I can't imaging it to have changed that much. Ranking only 3 programs seems too few to me tho.

How many interviews is everyone planning on completing?
 
Greetings all,

I'm struggling to rank the following programs, any input is appreciated:

-Cleveland Clinic
-UPMC
-Baylor College of Medicine
 
How did people feel about the following programs?

- Brown
- Boston University
 
I couldn't find much on the site, anyone have any thoughts of JM/UMH? Seems like they see everything
 
Has anyone interviewed at Rush or VCU. I have the both of them coming up (last 2 interviews!) and I'm very excited to visit and learn about both programs.

If you did interview there, what were your thoughts.

Thanks!
 
Overall I was extremely impressed on most of my interviews, I felt ID departments are working really hard to sell themselves and the field in general.

Certified and the two week wait begins. Good luck everyone!

Hi all, I hope you are having a happy match day. If anyone out there happened to not match, could you post a list of programs that went unfilled?
 
Happy Match day everyone!

I fell further down my rank list than I thought I would but hey I still matched!

I hope everyone else got some good news!
