Just got Ohio State. I also got that NW message today, have people been getting that all along or did they send out a bunch of those today?
 
get nw email too. not very excited about this anyway. rochester email a few days ago as well.
 
UTSW today.

They have 9 interview dates and plan to interview "no more than 50" candidates per date." This means they're interviewing ~450 candidates for roughly 40 slots...

Seems like everyone is getting the same interview invitations on this thread, it also seems like these programs are interviewing alot of applicants...
 
UTSW, U of L, Dartmouth, Yale-Bridgefort, UTMB, UT-Houston, Baylor-Dallas, U of Arizona, Pitt, Vanderbilt, Case, Mayo-Scottsdale
 
wash u, vandy, michigan, colorado, emory

I'm kinda surprised I haven't gotten one from UTSW since I GO THERE. but whatevs.

It seems like I might meet a lot of you on this thread on the interview trails!
UTSW, U Colorado, Baylor-Dallas, Mayo-Scottsdale, Wash U, Kaiser Oakland, UT-H, UTHSCSA, U of Michigan thus far. Today, Huntington - Pasadena.
 
[sigh]. None yet, although luckily I'm only seeing invites for one of the programs I applied to. Any MD/PhD'ers getting interviews? I've heard that they sometimes get put into a "different pile" for consideration.

UMDNJ
Baystate-Tufts
UTMB Galveston

Are any of you looking at the number they interviewed last year? I've been looking at it seems some interview like 300!! 😱 Makes you wonder how legit the interview is - (ie, do they interview EVERYONE?) 😳
 
The places I applied interviewed between 200 and 450 applicants, with a range in entering classes of 25 to 74. (I don't know if they include prelim spots in the interview category - that might bump it up a little)

same for me with advocate and the generic NW email. didn't apply to peoria, though. general consensus in my class is that the IL schools are responding a little more slowly than those in surrounding midwest states.
 
To the above poster, is that Medical university of south carolina in charleston or university of south carolina school of medicine in Columbia??
 
Does anyone know anything about the im program in oklahoma city? i was hoping to do my prelim year there. Have they sent out any interview invitations?

I've heard that most programs interview 7-10 people per available position.... regardless of specialty.
 
one program i applied to has 17 interview dates X 15 interviews per day = 255 interviews for 22 categorical and 20 prelim spots.

that's about 6 interviews for each spot if prelims don't have separate interview dates (16% chance of matching).

if they do, it's about 12 interviews per spot (8.6% chance of matching). 🙄

I would agree with the poster encouraging files to be completed as early as possible.

We have many files awaiting action due to not having transcripts - at least for me, this is a bigger issue than letters. I personally don't need 3 letters to invite someone for an interview, though I am sure there are many programs that require everything to be complete.

I have not heard back from Baylor in Houston. I tried to coordinate interview w/ UT-Houston and UTMB, but was told that invites will not be sent out until late October. I heard back from Houston 1 week after my submission. I'm from the East Coast.
 
so i guess only UT houston and UTMB galveston have sent out invites in the houston area.
 
I submitted it 9/14. I only have one LoR in though, I have had to bug the other three like crazy! Also minus Deans letter of course, everything else in.
