Univ of Chicago has sent invites.
Thanks SLUser. That's reassuring.
A question (which isn't necessarily CRS specific, but appropriate for residency/fellowship applicants) for anyone who is interested in voicing his two cents - one I'm very curious about and think could greatly benefit future applicants. Is it appropriate to not waive your right to review your letters of recommendation? If an applicant chooses this option, do LOR authors take offense or write letters that are not as strong as what they would have written had the applicant waived his right? I struggled with this issue quite a bit before I waived my right, with deep hesitation, simply because I have come across physicians who 1) don't understand the importance of strong LORs and write very generic and unflattering LORs, and 2) aren't honest in their feedback (i.e., say very flattering things to residents' faces but ding them in unexpected ways on evals without ever giving them any indication that something needs to change for the better) which makes me somewhat cynical when someone offers to write me a stellar LOR.
Adding two more programs that sent invites:
U Penn
U Mass
Reviving this thread.
Any new thoughts on the colorectal cycle this year?
Does anyone know of a good way (without forking over $1000+ on MGMA or AMGA reports) of finding out starting CRS salaries?
