I had my last offer and last rejection in the 4th week of January. Programs should not keep you hanging much longer after that, considering the logistics of interviews.
Last year I had interviews all the way into March...

I did as well, but my OFFERS for interviews were complete at the end of January. Maybe this is not the same experience others had. The rank list is due March 6th, so interviews can’t go TOO late.

I had OFFERS in February as well. Sorry I wasn't specific.
 
Looking at last year's thread, people were receiving invites up until mid-February. I think it depends on the hospital and their initial due dates, maybe.
 
Has anyone heard from any WakeMed programs yet?
 
PGY1 residency invite to Southern Arizona (Tucson). received on Jan 10
 
On site interview with Baylor
Phone interview with Harris Health
Video interview with Memorial Hermann TMC
Decline by MD Anderson and Houston Methodist (it seems these programs received ALOT of applications this year, tough year for residency applicants)

Did anyone receive an onsite interview with any Memorial Hermann or any Florida programs?

On site with Orlando Health and Shands. There’s an online excel sheet posted somewhere on this thread with programs that have sent out interview invites. Some people have heard back from UF health Jacksonville, Florida hospital, etc.
 
Did you apply to PGY1 or PGY2? Looking for insight on PGY2 critical care.
Invites from Carilion and CAMC
Rejections from TMC and UCSF as of today (1/17).

It was PGY1
 
I'm curious how many programs did some of you apply to altogether? I applied to 8 and thought that was too much now i'm wondering if I should have applied to more...
 
I heard from All Children’s and Children’s National, but there’s 4 others I applied to that I haven’t heard from.
Thanks! I didn't apply to those two programs :/ but I applied to 8 and have only heard back from wake forest. Maybe the majority of peds PGY2 programs truly haven't sent out anything yet?

I’ve heard from Cook Children’s, Children’s Mercy, Norton Children’s, Wake, and St. Jude - two of those are heme/one specific though. I'm still waiting on two more.

It honestly depends on you. I think around ten is a good number depending how confident you feel as an applicant. This is my second time applying and I did around 10 the first time and definitely a lot more this time since it will most likely be my last attempt.
 
NorthBay Medical Center - interview offer
Cambridge Health Alliance - Phone Interview offer

What Baylor Scott and White Temple PGY1 Program was it?
 
I applied to 10 places and only heard back from 2 so far (though I know a handful of my programs have already sent out invites based on the google sheet), but so far it's been a whole lot of silence

If a program already sent out invites but we haven't heard from them, does that mean it'll probably be a rejection? (ex: the program sent invites on 1/11 and so far no response)
 
What Baylor Scott and White Temple PGY1 Program was it?
Hospital pharmacy practice. Take this with a grain of salt, but I think they are doing "rolling" invites since I got my invite so quickly after their deadline, and I'm at one of their affiliated schools of pharmacy for which they do preliminary interviews.
 
Did anyone apply to PGY2 programs in infectious diseases?
Had a rejection from Temple university.
Still waiting on UPMC Shadyside, Grady Health, Houston Methodist, South Texas VA, Michael DeBakey VA, and Allegheny General Hospital.
 
I’ve heard from Cook Children’s, Children’s Mercy, Norton Children’s, Wake, and St. Jude - two of those are heme/one specific though. I'm still waiting on two more.

I have heard from Children's Hospital Wisconsin and Children's Mercy, still waiting on two more.... Feels like it is taking forever!

Hoping to hear from Broward Health and Cleveland Clinic Florida one way or another. Has anyone heard from them?

Has anyone heard back from Intermountain or University of Tennessee/Regional One Health for critical care pgy2? If so, when? Thanks!!
