What happened to interviews?

Seems like they stopped coming. Anyone else applied to all the NYC programs and heard absolutely nothing? I know Cornell, Columbia, and Sinai started inviting. Has anyone heard from Sinai since Sept or NYU/Einstein (traditional track) at all? Thanks.

I'm glad you mentioned all those programs. These are all classically known to wait for the MSPE to come out.

Cornell, Columbia, and Mt. Sinai have already offered invites to their own (i.e. if you went to Columbia for med school) or to those so impressive that nothing on their MSPE would prevent them from getting an invite. But majority have not gone out yet.

NYU and Albert Einstein Montefiore traditionally wait until November 1.

You mentioned Einstein, and I've heard from all of the other Einsteins in NY -- Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Beth Israel. Jacobi -- I believe has also sent out its begining batches of invites.

Just kick back and relax. I would start checking SDN after November 2.

I imagine if programs have waited this long, there's no point in not waiting another 12 days to get the MSPE.

Although looking at last year's interview thread, I found it interesting that UNC started sending out invites on Oct. 31.

To be completely transparent, I have a Montefiore interview (Social Med and Categorical tracks) scheduled, as do a few friends of mine from various schools (from top 5 to top 50). Still, I agree with the overall sentiment - things will move in a few days...

...or so I hope.

If it was a month from now and you still have 0 to 1 invite, then I would be worried. But don't tell me you have like 10 invites and are worried.

And honestly, this whole process is completely random. I got an invite today from a top school that I completely didn't expect. And I still haven't heard squat from some of my "safety" programs.

No one knows why some get invites and others with 273 scores do not.
