Pretty good one to get too.
Thanks. Hence the
Pretty good one to get too.
I finally got an interview today too
I would ask to be put on the waiting list for any other days that work for you. Keeps the option open if you liked the program before.I just got an email from one of the programs I scheduled an interview with a few weeks ago stating that I could no longer interview on the date I had selected (they didn't say why). Then they proceed to give me four alternate dates, none of which work for me, and expect me to shuffle my whole schedule around. I'm not in a position of power here but I'm really turned off to this program now and am seriously considering just walking away from their program, which I would probably rank pretty low anyway.
Very frustrating
Congrats! Mayo and/or Wake I presume
When is it a good time to panic if you haven't gotten a single interview?
the last week of december might be good too, doesnt seem like any programs are interviewing that week either.
im taking early November, before interviews start. don't try and juggle travel/interviews with step 2. will be hellish.
I'm doing it Nov 23. Given most of the IVs I want won't start till December I think I'll be fine. I have Dec and Jan completely free so I'm going to be able to go on a lot on those months. Given I only have 1 interview now I doubt I'll even have the opportunity to schedule that many in November.
dang, I missed out on pitt, UNC, wake and indiana.
Both pitt and wake send multiple waves. So, hang tight if you haven't heard from them yet. Indiana is going to send more invites as well. Their residency is huge. No way they're interviewing everyone they plan to rank on just three interview days.
Ok, so there seems to be some interest in generating an SDN radiology progress post. So what I will do, is I will create an anonymous gmail account next friday, the 14th of october. I will accept the submissions from all of you guys that weekend and post the stats on Monday the 17th. It seems that next week things are really gonna start moving as we cross into mid october. We'll do it again one week after the deans letters go out.
You can send it to me from any email, but even if your email somehow identifies you, no identifiers will be used in my post. It'll just say candidate 1, 2, and so on (in a randomized order too).
That should give everyone a good idea of where they stand albeit in a poor sample size (but something is better than nothing).
We just have to decide what information we want to have shared, I was thinking of something like this format:
Total # of Radiology Interviews:
Total # of Interviews Scheduled:
Cancelled:
Location of Interviews: (optional)
Transitional/Prelim interview invites:
scheduled:
Is there anything else worth reporting? I don't think interview dates are relevant because we can just get that from aunt minnie.
I think this is fine, but to be honest, I'm more curious as to when you guys will be interviewing and where to see if we'll be at the same place some day. Might be nice to know.
Also, I missed out on UVA so far, and it's easily one of my top places...anxiously waiting on that one.
You guys shouldn't even sweat step2ck. The questions for the most part are pretty straight forward. And in terms of content, it tests mostly the bread and butter stuff of the core specialties. It was much easier than any of the shelf exams, imo.
Does anyone know which schools require Step 2 prior to ranking (UCSF traditionally has)? I found that Step 2 is required to "complete your application" on the MGH website (http://www.massgeneral.org/radiology/education/residency.aspx?id=67) but don't know what that means. I did well on my Step 1 and therefore delayed scheduling my Step 2. Now I am freaking out because I can't find any openings for Step 2 CS prior to the end of December which is the latest for programs to find out about scores prior to ranking. Appreciate any help.

If that's what you guys want then that's fine. But it would ruin all anonymity. We might as well just start a thread and not make it anonymous then.
Well, I was thinking that it would not be a thread as that would eliminate anonymity completely. PMs would be the place to start.
I have a couple of TYs and 4 prelims.
Got the ol' thin letter from Mayo today. Sucks. First one. Not gonna whine about it, I've had good fortune thus far in the process, but it is definitely an ego blow, which we all probably need.
1st rejection letter received today. Thankfully it wasn't from a rads or even a TY. It was Kaiser LA's prelim med program. Don't know if prelim med suddenly became more competitive, if they figured I was using them as backup (which is partly true but not completely bc I do desire being near fam in SoCal), or if they didn't consider me because I didn't apply to their rads program.
I have other prelim/ty invites so I'm not upset or worried, more perplexed than anything
I must say I'm a little nervous about only applying to 9 TYs. I think it might be too late to add prelims though, so I think I'm stuck. I only have 2 TY invites so far. 10 rads, but I couldn't schedule Mayo because they only had a couple dates left which didn't work. TYs have me stressed.
Many TY's are still going out/haven't gone out yet. Heard back from Northshore today.
I'm still at 1 rads program but none of my top choices have sent out invites yet and most won't until November. Still vigorously checking emails though
