Thank you for doing this. Do you think we can add sections for MD/DO, program tier (T20, mid academic, community, etc.), and Total # of publications? This may help put things into context

Sure, added them in.

Stressing right now with all of you--anyone heard from BWH/BIDMC/Cornell/Columbia/JHH??

They sure are taking their sweet time sending out invitations...

Same. Not like last time I did this. Had 3 by this time around then. May be things are slower this year?

Let's not forget that last year apps were due mid-August but the interview season and rank list due dates were the same. It was a much tighter turnaround required.

Baylor sent an email on 8/5 that they will be taking a couple more weeks to review applications. Mt. Sinai's PD said the same thing on 8/4 - he said they read every single application and personal statement, have no filters, so it takes time.

I am up for it. Have you created one already? If not I can make one and share a link here for others to join.

I emailed the PD about newly accepted projects and he responded positively. I’m at a T20 program, ~15 publications including first author manuscripts, AMG, but 0 interviews still. Looking at West/East coast big academic centers
 
I've been peeking in other subspecialty threads (Cards, Pulm/Crit, Heme/Onc) and they too are feeling the radio silence. So it's not just us ...

Itzkowitz was referring to email sent to internal applicants (who are interviewed separately )... I think first round of emails for external applicants might be next week or later...By labor day they ll still have applications to review..they interview till mid october..they are one program that manually read all applicants and apply bare minimum filters..

Does anyone know how long the GI interviews typically take? 8-12?
 
Harrowing to have none, especially seeing some places I was hoping for.
 
I feel like all invites are going to the same cohort of people who probably have a few each by now. While some of us are struggling to get any. Does everyone think it’s still too soon to worry?

Still very very early. You all need to relax. most programs haven't sent out anything yet. There are some folks who have alot of interviews simply from applying to many places, but the vast majority of people here have only 1 or zero interviews and that is normal. Give until end of august from what I"ve heard and most should have a few IV by then.
 
hey is that Columbia interview invite real? I haven't heard anyone else get one. only asking so we can track which programs to reach out to via email if they've already sent out their invites
 
Currently trying to keep myself distracted while interview invites roll in for other people, and my inbox remains silent... What's everyone doing these days? Any TV show recommendations?
 
Rejections from UC DAVIS and Mayo Clinic, Rochester. And acknowledgement from Baylor that they have received the application.

Was the UC Davis one in response to an interest email or did they send on their own?
 
Do programs like Yale, Duke, Vanderbilt, etc. send further invites later in the month or are they done?
 
Based on this interview thread from last year, many programs send out another round of interviews. Take it with a grain of salt since COVID was flaring at the time, but it's early enough to still have hope:

Trying to grasp where I have gone wrong... Nothing so far. I find it hard to believe that CS fail explains lack of IVs, especially as I got many last application.

AMG - 245/236/230 failed CS first attempt, passed second (ghosts of the past).

Middle-tier residency. Hospitalist working at major academic/GI center for a year before applying, including teaching residents/med students.

10 pubs, 7 GI and of those 3 of them FA (1 of these case report, others research). 4 others pending at time of application.

4 orals at acg/ddw, 2 of them plenaries, multiple other orals as coauthor

16 posters as FA at acg/ddw, about double overall as and have been on several other orals as an author.

3 GI letters, 1 nationally known, and my PD

Currently sitting at 1 and it is my home program. Are the rest of you swimming in interviews? I'm not sure if this is just the nature of the beast.

Same here… definitely stressing out. All of the fellows and attendings around me are saying it is still early and to not panic until September. Just trying to stay hopeful at this time!
