Official 2024-2025 Allergy & Immunology Application Thread
Started by Deecee2DO
You're totally right. Just asked two buddies that matched allergy last year and neither of them got an interview before August!
Does anyone know when the bulk of interviews come? is it usually aug-october?

So is Vandy done? Are they gonna offer anymore interviews? I really really wanted an interview from them. This process is so stressful haha

Does anyone know which places will be doing in person interviews? Aside from Vanderbilt
Apparently Vandy is not done reviewing applications just FYI
Just got one today on a Monday (WashU - IM)
no interviews yet 😔 are they going alphabetically?

Same here no interviews! Starting get a little worried now🙁
Is it possible to get an interview invite from Thalamus and NOT through myeras? I had 2 different emails for them. I havent gotten sn interview yet but maybe I have and it was only sent to my thalamus email which i checked and was an inactive email from med school that I cant get access to now

I would contact thalamus and try to get that fixed
Yes. Majority of my interviews have come through Thalamus and theres nothing in myeras.
Mind sharing how many interview you have so far? Some of us have zero and it may be good to know where we stand.
Still at zero here as well with what I thought to be a strong app haha this is a very humbling experience
Haha. I thought I was strong too but never mind. Very nervous now. Just added 30 more programs today
ok so Ive talked to a few people tonight who matched last year all of which ended up with 10+ interview invites that didnt get their first interview until august so i guess we still have time before we need to start worrying. they told me no worries haha hopefully this gives you and others some reassurance too

I actually applied last year. At this time last year I had 5 interviews, this year only 1. Even though my application is significantly better imo. Maybe theyre just being more selective this year? I am not sure. It is very humbling and stressful. Losing hope honestly.

Have a lot of the schools you applied to given out interviews already? I would take that into account
I applied to 42 programs. Only 8 have sent initial invites not sure if thats a lot or not and 2 of those 8 have sent a subsequent round and 1 i was rejected (Duke)

There are a lot of schools left; trying to be hopeful for myself too 🙂
I also think most programs dont just send one round from what I imagine. There are a lot of apps to go through but dang A/I seems crazy competitive these days. My friends applying cards and GI have interviews already with imo pretty avg stats (below avg research avg to slightly above avg step scores from avg IM programs)
8 of the 37 I initially applied gave out interviews and nothing on my end. Bad feeling about that.
That is what I am trying to tell. myself but I added more programs just in case it is a crazy competitive cycle this year
That is good to know
This is very helpful. May sleep better tonight because of this. Haha. Thanks

Hmm I can't imagine any program doing that but I don't know for sure
Ok im starting to think theres something wrong with my app? Stanford sent 137 phone interviews to every applicant and I didnt receive one. I applied there

Log into ERAS; I didn't get an email either for some reason.
Nvm i got one thanks haha
Im sitting at 5 right now; Keep in mind that I did apply to almost every single program though. My 2 buddies that matched allergy last season didn't get their first one until August (one of them midway) and are now doing just fine. I think next week will prob be a big one for interviews. Good luck to everyone.
This makes me feel better thank you
Finally got one!
Its happening. Congrats!!
Congrats. Quiet on my end. Now I am thinking I have a red flag I don't know about
Mind sharing the program?
UMiami!
still kinda quiet. seems slow this cycle

I think I’m cooked. I had way more interviews at this time last year.
Upcoming applicant, anyone concerned at all about job market for non-city locations? For example less populated portions of the northeast or midwest? Would appreciate any insight if anyone has info about job market for areas such as those.
There are so many jobs for non-city locations, especially the Midwest and northeast. Especially for private practice. It’s pretty saturated in metropolitan areas. There are lots of jobs through private equity in big cities, but not a lot of postings for private practice with partnership.
Integro HealthCare is a great website to see private practice opportunities for allergy. Doccafe and practicelink have some too but those are mostly PE
Remain optimistic and keep up the faith. Many people are noting it is a bit of a slower year this time round. You can only do one fellowship at a time, so you only need one that's a good fit. Good luck.
