In the event that I have to SOAP tomorrow, I thought it would be good to ask this. I applied to something like 15 programs and submitted my app on the day it opened, but only got four interviews (long story for another day, but this is why I consider myself high risk for SOAPing). After I started to realize the paucity of interviews, I bolused another bunch of applications through ERAS. Of course, these went out like a month later and all of the programs in my second "bolus" did not offer me an interview.
I got the typical "we had so many applicants this year, we're sorry we couldn't interview everybody" letter from most places. A couple of places simply wrote back that they would not offer me an interview. Some never even wrote back. So here's what I was wondering: Let's say I SOAP tomorrow. We only get 30 spots to name. Should I bother applying to some of those programs that did not extend me an interview offer the first time around (if they didn't fill)? Recall that I sent a late application to some of these places, so I'm wondering if they had already filled their interview schedules/etc.
