Got a rejection email from Aurora Health Care Metro, Inc. in Milwaukee today.
I heard a rejection almost a week ago from the same program. I wonder if they hold on to stronger applications (like yours) until the last minute so they can draw from that pool of applicants if they don't find good people in the first round of interviews
 
Would it be pretty accurate to say that if you don't receive an interview invite by the end of January, they will be rejections? I don't know if anyone can offer any insight from past years.
 
Adding to the previous question ... is anyone aware of how Phase 2 of the match works? Do we need to submit new LOIs? It's an extremely short time frame before the beginning of phase 2 and the submission deadline for Phase 2 rank order lists so I'm curious as to what the requirements are for application the second time around

I've only heard from 3 out of the 11 I applied to. Seems like California is a couple weeks behind schedule of many other states. Which programs did you apply to?
Glendale Adventist, Kaiser (Panorama, Fontana), VA San Diego, PIH, Providence Little Company of Mary, and Kindred.

My understanding is that it's a scramble and that we need new LoR's, new LoI's, and have to get everything submitted ASAP so that the Phase 2 Match institutions can schedule interviews as quickly as possible.
 
No but we must do what we must do to do what we want to do.

Just let your LoR writers know what's going on so that they can be ready at a moments notice that you may need them to write some emergency LoRs for programs in Phase 2.


I was under the impression we could still access our current LoR to submit for phase 2. Question for PhorCAS...
 
Has anyone heard from these locations?

South Texas VA (San Antonio)
Harris Health System (Houston)
Memorial Hermann SW (Houston)
Memorial Hermann Hospital System (Houston)
Houston Methodist

Are we not allowed to use our initial LoRs? Mine were not written program specific (they were PGY-1/general pharmacy residency specific but not per each institution)

It would probably look better if you had LoRs that were program specific to show you are interested in the program. Looking back at past threads about Phase II, you'll probably want any advantage you can get applying to programs if there are over 100 people applying for one spot.

Ok, thanks so much. I haven't heard from either, but I'm guessing it's not looking good for Houston Methodist in particular lol

Look a like we've applied to many of the same programs! I've also haven't heard from Glendale, Providence Little Company of Mary and Kindred. Based on last years interview invite thread, most of these didn't reach out until early February.

I think they have a rolling process for interviews. I interviewed with them at PPS so I think that's why I was in the first wave of interviews. They said they have 8 interview days and bring in 5 people per day. So they keep going right up until the end of February most likely. Still got some time.

Virginia hospital center
Howard Univ in DC
Steward St. Elizabeth's Medical Center of Boston
Mount Auburn Hospital, MA
Hartford Hospital, CT
