What have y'all been doing when programs only offer on site interviews this year?
My current residency has essentially said we cannot travel to states with rising positivity rates. If we do, it is considered non-essential travel and we are put on mandatory leave for 14 days to fulfill the legal requirement set forth by the county the program is located in.
Are there programs offering on-site interviews only? The fellowship director at my current residency told me that all of the programs have agreed to make things virtual. Even my own program won't be interviewing us on-site because it would be unfair for the candidates who interview virtually.
OMG it is so quiet. I keep getting antsy but then the programs I haven't heard from has been posted in her. I wonder what is taking so longIt’s basically “late August” and I feel like there are still so many programs pending decisions....?!? Anyone else feel this way or am I alone? Lol
Yea it seems late. The fellowship director at my residency has been good about being in close contact with us and told us that a lot of programs are making decisions end of this week and/or early next week. Hang in there y'all!It’s basically “late August” and I feel like there are still so many programs pending decisions....?!? Anyone else feel this way or am I alone? Lol
I've only had 2 rejections so far. Both posted above. It seems like a lot of programs haven't said anything yet...so the waiting game continues. Some programs have been sending out second wave but we also already knew about the first wave. Still a lot we haven't heard fromHey! Good luck everybody...just curious where you're at in terms of hearing back from places. I have about a handful of interviews scheduled but haven't heard anything from some of these places listed, and still waiting to hearing on a whole bunch as well. I'm just wondering whether we'll hear rejections or not from some spots or if there will be a second wave of interview invites coming...
It feels like all the programs are making their own schedules and timelines. Last year, applications were due mid-July and the earliest interviews were sent out around the 1st week of August and kept coming through the 3rd week of August! If this is any indication of what is going to happen this year - with the assumption that programs are NOT having a quicker turnaround time for review of applications - then we should still be hearing from programs through next week....Hey!
