Anyone heard from Grady in GA or know anything about their status?

From what I've seen from previous interview post on here in the past years is that Grady traditionally send interviews really late👎👎:arghh:

'16 first post for an interview was 1/31.

There have been posts of people getting interviews as last as 2/8 so hang in there. I have heard from all my programs except them.

Wish you the best:xf:

Thanks for the response. I haven't heard from any of these places yet, getting pretty anxious lol
 
I am just going to throw this out there: I strongly suspect one of my LOR writers gave me a negative LOR....it's the best I can come up with the amount of rejections that I am getting
Someone make me feel better

I reviewed applications during my PGY1, about 80 of them. It was really uncommon but I did see two negative letters of rec. I just felt bad for those applicants. Why not just decline to write someone's letter?

Mine is because of a garbage GPA. But hey, everything that's supposed to happen is going to happen and everything is going to work out the way it is supposed to work out. If you aren't meant for those programs, then your destiny lays elsewhere! Just keep kicking ass!

It might be the programs you applied to or their location. I was rejected from almost everything on the east and west coasts and in the Midwest, but I got a number of interviews with really great programs in the middle of the country. I think they have fewer applications. I bet some middle of the country programs won't match in the first round based on nothing more than geography.

Just in case it is the reference thing, do you have additional letters to substitute? Do you have an idea about who might have written the negative letter?
 
Does MGH make you prepare anything for their interview? Or give you any insight to what it's going to be like? Thanks!

They haven't sent out the itenerary but I have heard anything about a presentation. They said it was from 9-5 and we would have a SOAP note...that's all I know so far. :/ please lmk if you hear anything before me, bc mine is still a month away.

clearly you have an interest in informatics....did you apply to aurora? have you heard from them?

This has been a concern of mine as well regarding my application. I also wondered if perhaps a LOR might have filled in something wrong, or didn't check something right or slipped up and mentioned something about a specific program in my general letter. I am applying to several combined pgy1&2 and pgy1 programs. From your experience reviewing LORs, was an innocent error on behalf of the preceptor held against the candidate? Did it matter if candidates had program specific letters in terms of ranking them?

A mistake by a letter of rec writer, I don't think anyone would hold that against you. It is out of your control. Unless it shed some light on how you thought about our program. Like if it eluded to where the applicant was likely to rank us. I also didn't hold it against candidates if they did not have a program specific letter of recommendation. I would hold it against them if their letter of intent was not specific to our program. That would speak to the applicant's true interest in the program.

I applied to Aurora Healthcare Metro Inc. I was rejected almost immediately (1/16/17). If you are still waiting on a response (and it's the same program), they must make decisions in a rolling fashion.
 
Has anyone heard from: Dekalb Medical (Atlanta, GA), Emory St Joseph, Northside Hospital (Atlanta, GA) and Baptist Medical Center south (Alabama)?

I have heard from Northside Hospital. I think there are a few other people posting here who have heard from them as well. I didn't apply to any of the other ones though.
 
I heard from BIDMC, Queens in Hawaii, and Penrose and St. Anthony in Colorado.

I still haven't heard from Grady, Pres St. Luke's, St. Joseph, and UC Irvine.
 
I know St. Anthony said they do pre-screen phone interviews first so it seems like they should have gotten that ball rolling so they have time to decide about onsite interviews. I have a good amount of interviews but the silence of the 3 remaining programs I haven't heard from is killing me.

I received an email finally.
