Does anyone scheduled for UIC interview on Thurs 10/13 want to switch with me? Mine is in the morning of Wed 10/12.
 
Can anyone confirm if they received anything from NYU today?
 
Just curious, for ortho residents, how many cases you are required to see for graduation? Versus how many actually you see each year on average?
 
Hey all! Congrats to all who’ve had interviews and good luck to those interviews coming up! I was just wondering if anyone whose had interviews could give a little insight into their stats and what they felt really helped their application for those who haven’t gotten interviews this year, hopefully we could do something different for the next cycle. Thanks!
 
Just curious, for ortho residents, how many cases you are required to see for graduation? Versus how many actually you see each year on average?
I'll have seen around 100 in 2 years. A fair estimate of patients is 400 new starts per year in practice.

Most residencies don't have a requirement, they have a goal. Mine is a 2 year program that starts 50-60 cases but will end up seeing around 120-150 when taking into account patients we get from the graduating residents.
 
Do we think additional rounds of invites will be sent with non-match schools sending out offers?
 
Could anyone switch me UT Houston dates?? 🙏🙏🙏 I have the first session on 10/26 and 10/27 but need to switch it to 10/27 and 10/28. I'll name my next kid after you!
 
Can anyone can switch Texas A&M dates? I have the 10/27 interview date but need to switch to 10/25 or 10/26. If anyone needs to switch to 10/27 and wants to swap, let me know. Thx!
 
Hey I think your friend is wrong, I don’t think NYU came out yet
I see! Is there a possibility that they sent out the invites to NYU students first? My friend goes to NYU and he said the interview invites came out.

Anyone interviewing at Detroit Mercy and able to switch interview times? I'm currently scheduled for 8:00 AM (EST) on November 3rd for a virtual interview and am hoping to switch to an in-person interview on November 4th or a different virtual interview time on November 3rd.

Thanks!

Are you still looking to switch dates for UT Houston? If so, private message me!
 
What is a safe number of interviews to have before starting to decline interviews? With socials along with interviews, it’s becoming difficult to take time off from school

I don't think social is mandatory! and no one would ever know what is the right answer for this! Nobody actually knows what is a safe number.

Someone in last years thread said 4-6 interviews gives 79% chance of matching according to match statistics but cant remember where he/she said they got that number
 
What do you guys think about loma linda? Their tuition is a little steep but it is 27months
