Just wondering when you all finally sent out your apps... and when you started getting interviews. Just trying to see if there's a link b/t date of app submission and number/timing of interviews.

Thanks!

I submitted my application on Sep. 7 and got my first interview on Sep. 13. My most recent invitation came yesterday.

Hope this helps.
 
every thing submitted by sept 1. first invite sept 9. steady influx first 3 weeks or so, slowed down a bit last two weeks. two invites last two weeks. total of 14
 
applying to gsurg. submitted 9/18 and i've received six interviews. i've applied to 33. i'm already freaking out since i feel as though i should've heard back from more programs by now 😳
 
Psychiatry
Submitted Sept. 6
Received first invite on Sept.9
Have received 7 invites, thus far; still waiting on 4 programs
 
Submitted 9/6, received by first invite 9/8. I have 13 interviews but still waiting to hear from about 15 or so more programs. I am beginnig to think I over applied. Oh, well better safe than scramble, right.
 
Applying in psych. Submitted 9/6. Got my first invite the next day. I got a few more over the next couple weeks, then things slowed down, then I got 3 this past week. Which makes 8 so far, still waiting on 4.

Good luck everybody 🙂
 
Applied to EM and IM (not combined) on 9/23.

Heard from: 4 IM places (1st being 9/27) and the most recent 10/4 for interviews. NONE from EM though.
Rejections: none (YET!! :laugh: :laugh: )
Applied to: 50 (34 IM and 16 EM)--> credit card companies love me!! 😍

I certified my ERAS application on Sept. 1. Most of the application (i.e. letters, USMLE transcript, photo, medical school transcript) was complete by Sept. 16 except for my Dean's Letter. Recommendation letters trickled in until Oct. 5. I have about 5 interviews for categorical IM programs (earliest one replied by email ~ Sept. 23; UT Southwestern or Emory I think). Dean's Letter comes out on Nov. 1. I just heard from Washington University and Baylor in Houston. Good luck with your interviews.
