I hope its mid august, otherwise i've only heard back from 5 of 35 programs since having the app done on July 18.
Wow. That is very big news. Any specific reason for the move?
How is everybody doing on the CRC interview trails? I still haven't got much interviews yet. What are you guys thoughts on conflicting interview dates between university programs vs community programs. Which one do you guys prefer? What are you guys thoughts on programs currently on probation, are they worth interviewing and giving a chance

I applied to 22, have 4 interviews and 1 rejection. I only had 2 letters of Recommendation until just a couple of days ago, so that may have held me up and made me miss some. Some programs haven't even downloaded my application yet, makes me wonder if they are even matching people this year.
Pretty sure I was a medical student where you both are doing residency. Good luck, y'all.
I would also like to know about the number of applicants this year, but i guess there is no real way of knowing. I got one invite and one rejection this week. I still haven't heard from most of the programs. I hear that most of them reply later in the month. Has anyone heard from USC? Or would like to share where they have heard from. Thanks
Man I'm having tenesmus with this process, I am humble and will go anywhere. Is there a magic number in the number of interviews you get ensures you'll match?As an update: Applied to 23 programs; so far 11 total invites, 1 invite which I had to decline due to date conflicts, 2 rejections. 2 programs 'reviewing applications' with no further message; and 10 programs have not heard anything from.
Will be doing 10 interviews thus far with 24 positions available from those programs. Hoping that this is enough interviews/available positions to secure a spot. Still holding out to hear from a couple of the top programs, but I am not planning to do more than 12 interviews total.
Actually one upper middle-tier program that I am disappointed that I haven't heard from yet which had worked its way into my top 3 due to location and reputation. Suspicious, but not sure if they have released interviews yet. Anyone think there is any benefit (or by contrast risk/harm?) in contacting the program secretary/coordinator to check on status?
Does anyone know the average number of candidates programs interview on each interview date they have?
14 Interviews scheduled - for 24 possible positions.
What is the appropriate way to thank the programs? A hand written simple thank you card, a typed letter, an email, or some other method? what is the norm?
I'm curious to know the psychology of those cutting colons and rectums for a living. Fascinating.

I'd advise you to stop questioning a field you clearly know very little about.

Is this a real thread or a joke thread?

This one line seems to have set you both on edge. Trolling? Really?
(And if anyone suggest I am trolling, that person clearly doesn't understand the term.)
It may be that the % of invites per number you apply will end up panning out as similar to the last few years. When it's all said and done, if more people are getting less interviews in comparison to the people from the last 2-3 years, it's interesting to speculate why.
Leo is certainly trolling, based on his 2 posts in this thread. I'm not surprised that he encountered a negative response.
you're right. Questioning was a poor choice of words. Should have gone with "disparaging"
