thoughts on USC's IM program?

Does everyone who interview at USC receive thank you letters signed by the interviewers or any other post interview correspondance?

I did and didn’t match there.

 

[TLEMD]

Has anyone done a second look at USC? What does it entail?

Do they welcome it or are do they not recommend it?

Has anyone received post interview correspondance or calls from APD/chief residents saying they were ranked to match?

I just received the standard Thank You card that everyone gets (see above). I have not received any communication about being ranked to match.

Not me personally, but others have been told so.

Same. I got a thank you card written but have not heard any calls of that nature.

Others have been told so for what? Thank you cards OR ranked to match calls?

Did anyone receive a rank to match letter / love letter from USC this week?

Did anyone receive a rank to match letter / love letter from USC this week?

Yes. Take it as a good sign.

“We liked you a lot” emails ie “you’re ranked high but policies say we can’t use those words exactly so we will send the top half or so a love letter with vague language”

 

[TLEMD]

Yes. Take it as a good sign.

Unfortunately I didn't get one. Don't know how high the chances are I can match there now or how low they go on rank list

How did you feel about your interview?

How did you feel about your interview?

If felt not too bad. But The interview with the APD was just me asking questions, so I don't know what it is to take away from that.

The takeaway is to rank it where you like it and stop worrying about things you have no control over.

Anyone applying this cycle? If so, has anyone received any correspondence post interview?

 

[AnonymousDo]

Handwritten thank you cards from interviewers. I think everyone gets those though?

Yeah and that seems to be the trend in previous years. Looks like some people got match calls/emails in this thread last year but I think they are getting more strict with correspondences insinuating rank

I don't know why people overthink this.

Just rank the program you like best to worst on your list.

Let the algorithm do the rest. Dude who invented the rank list won some nobel prize or something the thing is so efficient.

I'm fairly certain he wrote the Royal Swedish Academy thank you cards and letters of intent though.

How difficult is it to get an interview here? From OOS MD?
