Have three interviews on the same day and will need to cancel two. Between USF, Stanford and George Washington, which interview would be the best to keep?

Also, how would you rank these programs?

Stanford
Columbia
Mayo Rochester
MetroHeath Ohio
Univ of Wisconsin-Madison
George Washington
USF

Lol if only one should be so lucky to have these kinds of decisions...
Also confused why people are asking for ranking programs. This is such an individualized and personal decision. And the likelihood that you have interviewed at all of these programs by the 2nd week of September is next to nil. If one is going to even poll about ranking programs, it should be done after the interviews at said programs have concluded. My 2cents.

They have to fill the list with someone right? It probably just depends but no program wants to go unfilled.

Is this a real concern for these programs? Not like there are any spots left over year after year.

Story of my life. While a lot of candidates have too many interviews and need to cancel, some of us barely have any. Pedigree is everything.

It is almost sickening how much step 1 affected your career trajectory. Good step 1 = good university residency = good fellowship. If you happen to be in a community program without in house fellowship, good luck.

Anyone have a rough estimate percentage of interviews that have been sent out by programs? Or a guess on how close we are to being “done” with the first wave of offers?
Click to expand...

80-90% is a guess.
I guess maybe a few will continue to trickle “second waves” if enough people cancel which is going to happen less this year given it doesn’t require much to grab your suit, find a private room and smile for 3 hours.

What is a good number of programs to rank this year to have a high chance of matching?
Click to expand...
Based on charting the outcomes (data 2 3 years old now) for AMG and IMG it was average of 10 and 7 to match. Lower for IMG because I'm guessing if you were tapped as an IMG they truly thought you were impressive. This year will probably be higher given the record number of applications, my gut guess is 13 for AMG and 10 for IMG. But then again it's not like the total number of applications increased, its just that each program got more given everyone applied broadly. So at the end of the day there are probably still ~800 applicants for 500 spots; the 500 people destined to match in any year will be that 500 people this year as well, a bit fatalistic perspective. One thing that is different in terms of how programs view us this year is that the decision to call are more based on objective numbers, I think Step 1 was huge. Most places I've interviewed so far said that ERAS allows filtering applications via USMLE scores, and they canned anything underneath that cutoff, just too many files to review otherwise. Don't blame them this is a product of our own greed lol.

Now can someone hypothesize what it means when you don't get the rejection letter when others have? Programs are still considering you?

I wondered about this too. I’d surmise that it means that you are on the program’s “waitlist” should others decline their interview. It’s also likely that this waitlist is quite large and given the low likelihood of applicants canceling (especially at competitive programs), the chances of getting pulled off are quite small. Perhaps reaching out to the program or better yet, having a mentor do so will put you higher up on that “waitlist” but likely won’t earn you an interview without someone else canceling.

This 100%, I think waitlist is going to be slow movement given zoom interviews, in years past I am sure it wasn't a bad spot to be given people had to fly places.

I would agree with the 10 and 7 since in the end the same number of people have applied and will match similarly. I think the big difference this year is the number of interviews people typically get (if an applicant may get 15 normally, they may get less then that this year) since some people may go through more interviews. However even those people can only match at one place so programs will have to go further down their rank list to match people.

Yeah I may be wrong but another poster posted about this way earlier in the cycle that potentially you might even need fewer invite to match since all the star applicants can potentially attend 15 interviews but can only match at 1 place so the invite you get at any of those 15 places might be more "solid" than usual. #dontstopbelieving

This is pretty much what I meant by there are still 500 spots for 800 applicants. Same number of total spots for same number of total applicants. The one thing is that the "top" programs will be all filled with "top" candidates, since probably every top candidate interviewed at every top program and will rank them

Agree with the above. Would also add that many programs aren't ever going to send rejections. If other people have received rejections but you've heard radio silence, I'd argue that their "waitlist" may be shorter, but again probably less interview cancellations this year so wouldn't bank on a robust second wave regardless.

Honestly I'm convinced there will be more open spots after match because of programs interviewing the same group of applicants over and over. Probably still not a lot of open spots, but there's a lot of uncertainty now that top applicants have less incentive to cancel interviews.
 
Anybody heard anything from U of New Mexico and Las Vegas?

Disagree. Can be unreasonable for days with a lot of faculty and can come across as generic/not genuine if you copy-paste for each interviewer. Difficult to customize a genuine thank you email for each interviewer for each program. It's a nice gesture but not an absolute. This is likely based on personal preference.

By “seems to be expected,” I mean that 3 out of 4 of program coordinators at programs I’ve interviewed at so far have said that they would later send out emails for thank you notes to interviewers without me or other applicants asking about them. Agree it definitely takes some effort to be genuine in each one.

It's just my take but probably too many people ask for this afterwards so they just send those contacts to everyone to spare them having to reply one by one.

Are you sure you’re not mistaking the reason being for any additional follow up questions you may have wanted to ask the individuals? That’s usually the incentive to send the email addresses out more than just for thank you notes.
 
Does anyone have any date for UIC but 9/25 in the AM? I’m looking to switch from 9/25 in the AM to any other Day. Thanks!!!
 
I don't know how to send thank you emails, guys. Having so many interviews back to back, interviewing with 6-8 people at each interview, how is it humanly possible to send that many?

Agreed. I've had some individual interviewers say that they prefer not to receive any generic thank you emails (but emailing them with genuine questions is definitely encouraged), but otherwise, not sure if sending these emails would really change anything..? And likely wouldn't hurt us in any way if we don't send them?

Exactly and also remembering that if you send one, they can put it in your file and if you send the same to all 8 interviewers then there'll be a little side eye there
 
Has anyone had experience with not receiving an interview invite but also not a rejection from a place that's reportedly sent out rejections? (for example, Mt. Sinai according to the excel doc?)

Has anyone had experience with not receiving an interview invite but also not a rejection from a place that's reportedly sent out rejections? (for example, Mt. Sinai according to the excel doc?)

On that note, has anyone received an invite from BIDMC? It looks like rejections went out a couple days ago but no one has posted an invite?
 
I know this was briefly discussed at the very beginning of the application cycle, but, at what point should we start to seriously worry about our chances this year?
I only have a couple of interviews so far and I'm still waiting to hear back from the majority of programs.

Yeah this cycle has been brutal to say the least. I was told my original list was too long, so I took some programs off but I've struggled to get interviews this season as well. It makes me wonder who's doing well this season.
 
Still looking to switch my USF or University of Wisconsin -Madison dates. I have USF 10/9 and Wisconsin-Madison 9/25. I’ll pay to switch.

Just had a meeting with my advisors (including my home program PD) and they suggested 8-10, best bet being home program. But this is all conjecture, no one knows.

I keep hearing this 8-10 numbers. Does that come from somewhere? What are the chances of someone matching with 8-10 IV?

Can someone who has started interviewing share the general vibes of the interviews? I remember IM interviews were very conversational, but I've been told that GI can be much more formal. Has anyone found this to be true?
