Personally prefer in person vs virtual. I feel like we as applicants can express ourselves better. I know that virtual interviews can be helpful for people who may be far and is a cheaper option, and it definitely has its role in the application. If possible I think both options should be offered to an applicant.
Thank you for creating this!

Also only got one so far. Like I know everyone saying most come at the end of the month and sept but still nerve wrecking lol
Sorry about that, not sure how it happened but should be fixed. let me know if there are still problems.
I would think that it's like residency as there will be some that don't and just implied that you've been rejected, and then there will be others with the courtesy to send a rejection letter. I have received rejection letters from some already, which I respect and actually appreciate. But I also think of this like the residency match too: programs don't owe us a thing.
Feeling okay, gotten a decent amount of interviews, a handful of rejections (much appreciated when they send them). Completed one interview so far. It felt a little less stressful than residency interviews to me. The program was very laid back and just wants to get to know you and end goals. Of course they will ask similar questions to when you interviewed for residency, but the stress level doesn't feel as high. I did feel a bit rusty as haven't interviewed since residency, but you get back into the groove quickly.
Also going ok lol. Got a few interviews (5 so far to be exact and I applied to 48). I did send a few emails as a letter of interest, some said thanks for letting us know and others didn't respond. I got a few rejection e-mails also, which at this point I appreciate. Rather know an answer vs just waiting everyday by like 4pm EST just to wait another day lol. Btw does anyone know how many programs to rank to have a good chance of matching? Good luck yall!
Similarly for me, 4 interviews out of 30 apps with 2 outright rejections. Really hope more programs start to send out their first round/second round invites or just send rejections to help us all move on lol. Also wondering what a good number to rank is!
I believe you're referring to the graphs from 2018? I pulled the images from someone who posted this in last years thread. Again, this is from 2018 and things have changed since then, although I would think it's generally helpful to see! I tried to find recent data, but I don't think they have posted it since then for some reason unless someone else has been able to find more recent info?
I think we are alright. On the application when we applied, we selected that we will be participating in the NRMP Match which shows up on their end as well. So, I would assume if they are ranking you, they will go back to your application on ERAS and find the ID as it uploads to your application once you enter the ID. This is how I think it works, hopefully I am right! 🙂
On the program side we can see the AAMC ID or the NRMP ID. You can also look up applicants using the USMLE ID. If you haven't registered or updated the numbers on the NRMP website, I would suggest doing it ASAP. The Rank deadline is rapidly approaching.
I overapplied to be safe, 30 programs and got 10 invites, took 9 of them. Haven’t done an away rotation so can’t help with that! I’m sure it can help or hurt depending on personality fit just like with residency
I'm going to be applying this summer and I'm already nervous for all of the current applicants. Next fall and winter is going to be tough, haha. Good luck to all!!
