Was the number of participants more or less than last year?
Click to expand...
In one of my interviews the PD mentioned that the number had rebounded a bit from last year, but she was probably just referring to her own prog. Not sure if it’ll end up being true everywhere.

And for the previous question, I never heard from UVA
 
Any idea when the interview season ends? The last interview date I have seen so far is 11/12

So, would the ranking list be for the 3rd or 4th week of November?

Someone I know who did a peds fellowship ( not PHO ) mentioned that some programs will contact the applicants they are interested in before the ranking list. How accurate is this? And if it's true, does this mean anything?
 
How many candidates does a program normally interview for a position?
Asking because in some of these interviews, I have been the only applicant.

Same here, I had interviews where it was only me.
I think it varies, each program is different.

going well! Excited and stressed. I'm just waiting for 12/4 to end this uncertainty!
last step of medical training, YAAAY !

Any idea if programs are still sending invites?

I haven’t received any invites since 3rd week of August I think.

The only one who commented on it was Cincinnati who said they typically interview ~40 applicants or 25% of total applicants. I'd guess that's one of the highest. My home program is pretty small and I don't think we interview more than 20.

I've been alone but also have had up to 6 applicants total with me. Most common seems like 2-4.

And same, no invites since the 20 something of August. I only haven't heard from one of my programs though.

I'd take any post-interview communication with a huge grain of salt. Have definitely heard of people being burned before
 
How many interviews have you all been advised to do? Starting to feel a little burnt out with interviews and wondering if I can/should cancel some of my later ones?
 
I was told 7 is more than enough, however, I am doing more coz of my partner who is looking for jobs as well. Just to ensure we end up in a place that fits both of us.
 
Agreed, I was told 10 is definitely enough but also interviewing to WAY more because my partner is applying to residency with red flags at the same time
 
Anyone else feeling like making a rank list is going to be impossible? I've enjoyed pretty much every interview but they kind of mix together in my head

Yes!!!!
I have enjoyed interviewing almost everywhere. All the programs are so welcoming and supportive. I think ultimately for me, it is going to come down to location.

On an unrelated note, have any of you guys interviewed with NP’s and PA’s?
 
Same here, they were in a group/ Q&A setting.

Do you have any idea when programs usually submit their ranking lists? I have received invites for an in-person second look ( first 2 weeks of November), and they mention these will be after the ranking list is submitted.
 
I'm honestly not sure! I'd guess somewhat similar to ours, which I think is 11/20?

Have y'all been getting much personalized post-IV correspondence? Aside from a couple mine's all been second-looks and generic info-providing ones.

Yes, I received several personalized post-IV communications, but I assume they were sent to everyone. 😊

I’m almost finished with my IVs! Overall, I've enjoyed the experience (except for two). My ranking list will be mainly based on geographic reasons since I want to be close to my family after spending the last few years away.
 
I haven’t received any personalised post IV communication.
Is this a red-flag?
I also haven’t sent any thank you emails!!!!

Same!!!
I still have to certify my rank-list but will do that soon here!
It’s nice to be busy with residency and not think about the match too much, unlike how it was in med school!!!!
 
:droid:
anyone feeling stressed?
few minutes till 9 pm EST.
I have checked the status of my ranking list ZILLION times, ensuring it's CERTIFIED!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE =)
