Thank you emails FROM residency directors?

[hopeful1994]

As the deadline for rank lists draws near, I’ve been getting thank you emails from residency directors, reminding me of their program match #’s. Is this typical/ a generic email they send to all candidates? How often do RPDs do this?

It's program dependent - some do it, some don't. They probably send it to all their candidates because it's a recruitment strategy but it also wouldn't be impossible for them to send it to specific individuals if you were super standout. I wouldn't read too much into it, but it's still is a nice gesture regardless of how many people they sent it to.

I wouldn't really read too much into program thank you email replies and such. My friends and I received the same copy-pasted email from the same people that said we were good fits for the program and the interview went well, etc. Think of it as a reminder that you interviewed at the program, but not so much something where they are definitely ranking you at the top of their list or anything.

Don't read into it- some programs may send it to their top candidates, some may send it to everyone.

It doesn't change whether you'll be a good fit or not.
