Too late to apply to more programs?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
make sure the programs you are going to apply to don't have a Nov 1 deadline. If you're past deadline, its definitely not worth applying there. They are not going to even look at your ap. But sure, find another 10-15 programs that you want to apply to, and do it now. Then in a couple weeks start emailing/calling programs directly and explaining why you are very interested in that program and would love to interview there.

good luck! you should do fine.
 
You should have applied to 80 programs if you're a weak candidate. Too late now.
 
I think it's too late. most programs I have spoken to told me that all those that they considered for an interivew were already notified.
 
I would agree with the above poster. Most programs have probably filled all of their interview slots and have wait lists. Unless you're a stellar candidate, you won't be a late addition.
 
It does not hurt to call, be super polite and say hey I am really interested in your program and have not heard from you. most likely someone will make a note that you called expressing interest in the program in your file and it might get you a second look. in general, does not hurt as long as you are polite not pushy.
