I have a Temple Univ I on 12/9. Can anyone switch with me? I would like to switch to 12/12 but any other date would work as well. Thank you!
 
Anyone interested in giving up their Nov 21 date at Casey for my Dec 5 (possible $$!)

thanks :)
 
EyeSTAR Interview by phone (This is the 6 year combined residency/PhD program at JSEI)

Two consecutive days, 1 basic science day and 1 clinical day.

December 2, 5, 9, 16.

Sooo excited!!!!
 
anyone know if duke is still giving out interviews?
 
Anyone willing to switch your interview at MEEI on 11/16 for mine on 11/13? If it would not make a big difference for you, please consider as it would be a great help to me. Good luck everyone.
 
If anyone is canceling Wayne State on 12/1 or 12/2 I would love to know as I am on the waitlist for an interview and would really like to try to call in and get that interview after someone cancels. Only have couple of interviews so could really use this one.

Thank You so much and best of luck to everyone.
 
Anybody else disappointed at how dry the well has been lately?? I really expected us to hear from a few places yesterday since it was after the Academy and after Dean's letters had just come out. But we haven't really even heard from anywhere today either. (Except I too got the Michigan rejection by email today.)

Specifically, I am very curious about Emory and Vanderbilt and Bascom. I know I am a little rediculous for having looked this up on last year's forum, but all 3 of those schools had sent invites by this date last year. Emory actually sent them on Oct 14 last year! Does anybody on here go to Emory, vandy, or miami and happen to know when we can expect to hear something?
 
Yeah, ditto on both DC programs...what's the hold-up this year?

University of Virginia
Scheduled for 11/20, would like to switch to any of the other offered dates. There would be some $$$ in it for you.

Thanks!
 
I'm looking to switch my Nebraska interview date with anyone on Nov. 16 (I really need this date), if you can PM me and I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.
 
DC programs should be emailing and calling soon - georgetown this week and GWU in the next two.

Vandy said early November and BP said mid-November when I called a couple of weeks back.

Yeh me too. I am on the waiting list for Wayne as well (I am serious). So if anybody is canceling, please let both of us know and whoever gets to call first the interview should go to him:laugh:
 
Hi Guys,

I'm hoping that someone reading this will help me out...

I need to switch either my Tulane or Northwestern interview, both currently scheduled for Nov 20th, to any other dates, preferably Nov 13.

If anyone has other dates and wouldn't mind switching I would really appreciate it - don't have tons of interviews so I would like to make all of the one that I do have. I can provide some $$ compensation.

Thanks!
 
Hey - anyone want to switch their 11/13 or 11/16 Mass Eye&Ear interview with my November 20? It would really help me out.

Thanks and good luck everyone!
 
Hi,

Anyone want to trade their Iowa 12/11 for my Iowa 11/20? Please PM me Thanks!
 
Hi everyone,
I have Northwestern on November 20th but would like to switch to November 13th. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks. Best of luck to everyone with the interview process.
 
I have an interview at Temple on Dec 9th and I would like to switch to Dec 8th. Please PM me if interested! Thanks!
 
So, it looks like this has turned into the interview switch thread as well.
Would anyone be willing to switch UMinnesota dates with me? I have Nov 20th and would like Nov 19th.
Thanks everyone and good luck
 
Finally some action. Columbia by email 12/3 12/4

I don't know if they're giving out new interviews, but they did just open up the second date. I believe they are interviewing ~25 people on each date.

duke was offering more interviews today
 
Sent out today, Dec 5 and 6 with a meet and greet on the 5th.
 
Anyone want to trade their 12/11 date for my 11/20 date? Please PM me.
 
UT health science center, San Antonio, by phone on 12/5. Interview dates are 11/20, 12/4, 12/11
 
Hi, is anybody interested in interviewing at Iowa on 11/20? I'd like to switch out to any other date available (11/13, or 12/11, or any others you know about)!

Thanks and gluck.
 
Does anyone know what's going on with NYEEI this year? Last year it seems they sent out invites in October.
 
So is the general feeling that pretty much all of the interview offers are out there with maybe a little movement as people start canceling?

Well still waiting for Wills, BPEI, and NYEEI, but yes most places seem to have offered.

EDIT: and Vandy
 
i thought there would be more movement after the dean's letter, but as of now, seems not so. don't some wait for the letter before offering more interviews?
 
This has happened to me twice:

I am offered an interview by email, I respond within the hour, only to find out that they are full and I'm on the waitlist. Just happened with Columbia. Is this happening to other people? Who are these super quick emailers and how can I become one?
