UNC interview invite was in my spam folder! Thanks to whoever posted that tip! Be sure to check your junk mail. How embarrassing.
Me too! I am very excited about their program. I hope there are still dates available!UNC interview invite was in my spam folder! Thanks to whoever posted that tip! Be sure to check your junk mail. How embarrassing.

Thank you so much for this information! I definitely applied to 5-10 more programs at the last minute because I was worried that others would also do so and I wouldn’t get interviews. Can you tell us if your program is increasing the number of interviews offered? I would guess no?Our prog is only halfway done reviewing apps, we have seen a 20% increase in total apps from last year, with zoom why not apply everywhere if youre not paying airfare lodging travel etc I suppose

Id like to ask the same for new york programsAny idea if any Texas programs have sent out any invites?
Id like to ask the same for new york programs
I haven't heard from the TX or NY programs I applied to. N=1
There are tentative "surge" days scheduled that will be utilized if needed as the season goes on, will be a late decisionThank you so much for this information!

Nothing over here yet 🙁Any success for the osteopathic applicants out there?
OHSU is Oregon health sciences University not Ohio state, just FYII have similar a similar question but I'm not sure there's an answer yet. Like others have said, people are still trying to read through the extra applications this year and only a few programs have responded out of the 200 total.

million dollar question; looks like in years past, most programs do 1 batch.,,
OHSU is Oregon health sciences University not Ohio state, just FYI
Wondering how many interviews the average AMG has / should have by now?
I know people with either upwards of 8 interviews and some people with 0-1 who are more average. Feels like about 1/3 of places have sent out? My hunch is programs aren’t adjusting to the fact that some great applicants over applied and are going to be holding onto those interview spots.
Agreed. I’ve either heard from or seen interview invites go out from almost exactly 1/3 of the programs I’ve applied to. I am trying to gauge how I’m doing by looking at the number of interview offers I’ve received compared to the number that I appear to have not gotten. I don’t know anyone else’s numbers, but I think things are going okay for me to reach my goal # of interviews. But I really have no clue.
whats your goal # of interviews ?
I think 15ish so I can rank 15. Basing the number on that pdf from the nrmp match data someone posted earlier.

It’s a couple years old and I think things have just gotten more competitive so leaning towards the higher side. Feel free to let me know if anyone thinks that seems wrong.
You would aim for 20 before starting to decline (which I very well may not get)?I can see over 20 IV via ZOOM or some other platform.

If it’s true that people are over applying and the vast majority of interviews are being held by the same pool of top applicants, then one could argue that you would actually need FEWER interviews to match since at the end of the day those top applicants can only match at one program and thus, programs would fall much lower on their rank lists than usual because of it.
AMG, moderately competitive, 12 total interviews including research tracks, still waiting on more than 1/2 to send out invites. I am also aiming for 15 and plan to decline/cancel interviews at that point.
Anyone know what're the chances of matching to any one program once they offer an interview? And does the interview even matter or do the programs already have a rank list in mind
Doubt anyone could answer this. I think someone said above that most programs interview like 10-15 people per spot, so I guess theoretically your chances are like 10%, but obviously many other factors affect your chances. Is this your #1 program? Are you a good fit? Does the interview go well?
I would be willing to bet that for most programs the interview has a reasonable effect on the ultimate rank list, but there is probably some sense of a rank beforehand (particularly if they're also interviewing in house candidates).
anyword on whether programs will send out in waves?I think it is more like 8-10 per spot from what my home program director told me and from what I saw when booking interviews in places that showed how many total interviews were available. Looking at the charting outcomes it seems like there should be at least 700-800 applicants this year for about 500 spots. I am not a mathematician but someone smarter than me could probably figure out some odds.
anyword on whether programs will send out in waves?
Was the consensus on this forum to start reaching out to programs this week or next week? I'm growing concerned at the lack of interviews thus far.
We have very similar applications. I have 3 interviews currently. I applied to "only" 35 programs and it looks like about one third of them have sent out invites. I will consider having my mentors send out emails/calls no sooner than next week and when the target program has invited others, whichever is last. I wish I had more interviews by now, but overall I'm not too worried as my program always matches well and my application is on par with prior class's. We'll be okay!AMG

IM at state university program with large GI program (good advanced endoscopy, high volume transplant center, etc.)
Letters from 1 PD, 3 GI
1 published manuscript, >10 posters (general medicine and GI), several other projects that are in manuscript phase
4 interviews so far which makes me nervous, but from what I know this is still more than some other applicants from my own program or similar programs (most are fantastic applicants). This will be an odd year. I predict a lot of top programs will have unmatched spots because they didn't adjust for so many applicants over-applying.
