The 2007 Interview Invites Thread
Started by ozarka
what does it take to get a yale interview? do they send invites to better applicants first?
except...that wouldn't work, since programs only see your pic AFTER they invite you for an interview....but at least we now have a rationale for rejections post-interview.
But anyway. In terms of invites...today brought Kaiser Santa Clara - via email/eras.

i heard they can see pics before they invite you this year. they changed the rules.
my bad. so i guess how fetching you are in your picture really could play a role...although this is IM, not derm...
After a long delay and some anxiety regarding my incomplete transcript.....Yale interview offer today. Excited...and the video on the website makes New Haven look great.
Still no love from umich (and I'm from the region)....I don't understand this process at all...argh. 😕

I know one poster has heard back from UCSF. I have not been that fortunate. Has anyone heard back from UCSF, Cornell, Penn, or Brown?
I got UCSF last week, but have not heard from a lot of other good programs that others have- Duke, U chicago, yale, etc....kinda weird
No word from UCSF or Penn here. Also waiting on Stanford, U Chicago. I dont think the Harvard programs send them out till after the Deans Letter on Nov 1, someone correct me if I am mistaken. Also waiting on UVA. Getting pretty tired of it.

Primary Care Program...
Got an invite from AE/Jacobi today....
GOT A WEIRD e-mail from Yale-Bridgeport basically asking 'how interested I am in primary care/geriatrics' and if I'm 100% sure that I want primary care to e-mail them back ASAP. WTF?!?!?
For me, categorical

Yeah the AE/Jacobi, only left two dates... I'm wondering if they have already sent out interviews to other candidates earlier?!? hmmmmmmmm or is it just two dates?!?
they probably just want to make sure you're committed to the primary care track and not planning on trying to switch into the categorical after you match... i've heard about residents doing that in the past, since it's easier to match into the primary care tracks at these programs.
Submitted ERAS 9/24 (all but one LOR in, and obv no MSPE yet)

I received my email from AE-Jacobi in early October with only two options for interviewing. Some of my classmates have heard from Jacobi, but none of my friends at AECOM have heard from them, which I find strange. However, I am still waiting to hear from Montiefore and Beth Israel (NYC)
which AECOM program is the more reputable one? montefiore?
Those who have heard from Univ. of Chicago and Columbia...is that the primary care track or the categorical track?
I have a feeling the primary care tracks are sending out interviews before the categoricals.
Looks like it's now gonna be a slow trickle till after Nov. 1😴

Also got the weird Yale-Bridgeport email:
"Dear Applicant,
Due to the increasing shortage of primary care doctors and geriatricians in this country we are selectively interviewing some applicants who plan to pursue these specialties following residency training. To date, we've not invited you for an interview, not because your credentials are problematic but because this year's crop of applicants is extremely talented. If you are 100% sure that primary care or Geriatrics is your career path, please let us know ASAP."
I checked on ERAS...the Yale-Bridgeport program only offers a categorical track (that is the only option available to click on, i.e. not categorical vs. primary care). Anyone know how to respond to this if we want an interview there but are not 100% set on going into primary care?

I'll corraborate and reassure all of us waiting for the Harvards, Cornell, Columbia, and UVA. Still haven't heard anything from them. I expect they won't really start sending till all materials and MSPE's are in on November 1st.
Yale - New Haven (Categorical) today...
Hi all,
Just wondering how complete is everyone's application right now (Dean's Letter not included)? Are you still waiting for LORs? I'm pulling my teeth to get this LOR that I've been waiting for more than 3 months. I'm just curious at what point is considered late for the LORs to be in. Does this affect my chances of getting interviews at all?
Thanks all for the input.
