Hello everyone, I am also applying this cycle. Did anyone receive any invites or acknowledgement emails yet?
 
I have not and I’m wondering the same. Any news on interview invites for anyone yet?

You only need 3 LOR. But some people submit 4 LOR.
 
but 4 makes application stronger
Not necessarily. If the contents of the 4th letter are lukewarm, it wouldn’t contribute to the application much. With regards to your question, I would choose the person who you are confident will write you a strong letter.
 
Agree with the above. The person who knows you best would provide a strong letter.

Congrats on your interview. I think it might be more helpful to put the date you got the interview invite rather than the date of your interview so we know when certain programs are sending out invites.

Hello everyone, I am also applying this cycle. Did anyone receive any invites or acknowledgement emails yet?
I got an invitation from U Penn last week. At first, I thought that it had been sent in error, as there was no way to reply. Only 12 hours later did I see that a way to respond had opened up. It seemed very early! It was a relief to hear from someone, though!

Thank you!

I have not and I’m wondering the same. Any news on interview invites for anyone yet?
I mentioned above that I received a single invitation from U Penn. I was told that it was unusually early for one to go out, though--last week. Good luck to you!

Good luck to everyone this week. Hoping for more movement.

It is still VERY early. I think (hope?) that those invitations will come our way as August gets underway.

US IMG here. Haven't heard anything back yet from any program (even rejections or application acknowledgements). Based on prior experience, I feel like it's pretty standard for IMGs to hear later in the cycle (please correct me if I'm wrong). Hopefully we start to see some more movement in the next week or 2.

Does anyone have any info on how Cedars Sinai is for fellowship?
 
Would anybody be interested in a WhatsApp group to discuss application cycle happenings? Message me if so and I can start a group

Hi, is anyone receiving rejection emails from the programs who sent out invites so far? It’s been complete radio silence for me 😔. Was wondering if last year there was cycle for invites or if they sent rejections?

UPMC told me they are no longer sending out invites, but otherwise no other rejections.
