Anyone gotten rejection from MUSC or gotten an interview after 8/3?
Any news from Seattle?

to ease some anxiety here...just because you dont have an interview yet doesnt mean it is a rejection. i am a 3rd year fellow and know that our PDs are just now getting through applications and haven't sent anything yet to anyone. im sure the same is true for some other programs as well. in general the application process is slower than for residency.

No rejection or interview from MUSC. Cali programs (stanford, UCLA, UCSD) have also been ignoring me.. :(

Has anyone heard from Vanderbilt or Hopkins? Also, has anyone gotten a Cincinnati interview after 7/16? I can't believe they sent invites the day after they received applications..

Interview invite from Cincy on 7/30– might be doing rolling invites? Could be an internal candidate that heard back on 7/16? Every program does there own thing, so can be difficult to predict much in that regard.

Greetings all! New poster but long-time observer ‍♂️
To answer a few of the recent questions:
Heard from Hopkins and Cincy 8/15
Have not heard from Boston or Baylor yet
Cancelled MUSC (Heard from them 8/2)
As previously posted, some programs have offered interviews after the previously posted contact date, as have some rejections.
I’m a MedPeds graduate from Puerto Rico and if anyone has any questions I’d be more than happy to answer them! Best of luck everyone!!!
 
Added UCLA and Baylor. I know people are starting up interviews this week... good luck to all!

Impossible to know if a place is done sending out invites, so I’m not sure re: Baylor.

Haven’t heard anything from UW and don’t know anyone else who has either.

I have an interview from UW.
 
Have also been reading and not contributing... figured it was time to! Anyone heard from Baylor or UCSF since the dates posted? Trying to decide whether to cancel a few others or not. Anyone else get the feeling like we're nearing the end of interview invitations and moving on to the actual interviews?

Hi, do you mind if I ask you when did you hear from Univ of Washington (Seattle) ???? Was it recently or a while ago ??

I heard from seattle on 8/20 too. Im currently on waitlist at UT Houston and hopefully someone with lots of interviews cancels so I can interview. Looking to land in texas for family reasons and i really like their program! :)
 
Anyone heard from UTSW or NYU after the dates above?

Any IMG who needs visa got invites from top programs?

I did get an invitation from Boston after the posted date - and I know people that had earlier invitations from them as well. Has anyone heard from Baylor recently - either invitations or rejections?
 
Any recent invitations this past week?

No invitations. Did get a baylor rejection though on 8/30 :/. Im on waitlist for UT Houston so keeping my fingers crossed i get off of that if anyone cancels.
 
Any recent invitations this past week?

Same as HeartLuv for me, it was a no from Baylor and Boston. It seems like its drawing to an end. Still waiting of Virginia as well though, no news.

I agree. What do you all think about posting interview impressions? I saw that in another thread and seemed helpful.
 
I think things are still cooking.. I received 3 IVs this week, all have been posted above, second wave is a real thing!

Those are amazing news! Congrats!! Guess the hours of email stalking have yet to pass. Best of luck everyone!
 
Any updates? I received 2 invites last week but nothing since. I think is fair to say that invites are coming to an end?
 
Since we are approaching rank list, did anyone feel the interviews are very laid back and it is more for you to know the program rather than them knowing you? I felt the interview are not going to change my rank in their list but did change my list a lot!

Also, any comments about post-communication? if emails to your number one are going to make any difference?

One more thing lol, any idea about NYC programs?
 
Did anyone interview at UF Gainesville or Children's Mercy?
 
in previous years, how far usually applicants go down their list? NRMP says 72% of applicants in 2018 got into one of their top 3 programs!

also, should we expect any type of communication from programs before rank list is in? only one program told us that they don't send these types of letters.. but others have been quite.
 
From what I’ve heard/experienced... some programs send post-interview cycle communication, some don’t. You can’t really read into it too much if you don’t hear anything from a program in the next 2-3 weeks, but I would definitely be encouraged if a program takes the time out to send an individual email to you in the next few weeks along lines of “We are done interviewing people and think you’d be a great fit here!” It’s certainly not universal practice, so don’t be bummed if you don’t hear anything from your top program, etc.

Regarding communication on our end, I would definitely send a “letter of intent” to your top ranked program and be very clear about it. Just be sure it’s your number one without a doubt before you send it. Simple human decency, and academic Peds cards is a VERY small world (which you probably noticed on the trail).

Good luck all!!! Go with your gut!

PS NRMP released the match info regarding Peds fellowship match last year. Some good tidbits in there regarding number of programs ranked to match, scores, research, etc. it’s on the NRMP website.
 
Anyone knows of any programs that are known for sending letters or phone calls before rank list? Did someone get these types of letters?
 
Good luck today everyone!!!

3 positions unfilled... I am an IMG and I matched!!!! but dropped down the list a lot !!

looking at data, it was a crazy competitive year for peds cardiology
 
The match rate was only slightly worse this year with 85.8% match rate, 176 applicants compared to 87% match, 161 applicants last year. However, there was also an increase in available positions from 145 to 154.

I guess you are right. I was surprised that I dropped down this much, I think being an IMG with visa requirements really hurts.
 
Hey, congratulations!

I am an IMG with Visa requirements. I had only 4 interviews. My LOR's where submitted late, I do not know how much that hurt my application...
I matched in my third choice. It is definetely harder for IMG's but not impossible. If next year someone wants to know about my stats, reply to this and I will try to help out.

A friend of mine is applying to cardiology next year but he is restricted to 2 cities: NYC and Miami, he is thinking about intervention in the future. Any idea about these programs in terms of volume, education and potential for academic career in intervention for those who interviewed there or know anything about these programs?
