Its nearly time. Sometime in the fall and winter interview offers for residency 2008 will start. post 'em as you get 'em with your stats. you may sign on with the anonymous account previously set up if you wish separate this info from your profile. Sseparate threads for interview date and impressions will be posted later.

ok lets try this again. if you wish, please post where you got your interviews here. You may sign in under the mockup account that was previously made (or make your own) if you wish to keep it separate from your usual SDN personality. As you start to get more interviews, simply go back and edit and add to your previous post. This will mean people might do well to go back and review old posts if they wish but its one way of doing it. Or just copy and paste and update a new post if you prefer. The idea is to see who's interviewing where. (in other words we're looking at teh Emmy nominees rather than winners to keep with nap's analogy). as people match we'll do the same like last year. Please try to keep this focused on these profiles or else the thread is less useful. if it doesnt really fly next year we won't bother with this sort of thread. we'll just see what people are interested in over time. It may be people are interested but dont want to post about it.
