At what point should I be concerned that I only have 3 interviews? (1 from my home program, 1 from an away rotation, and 1 from a neighboring institution that hasn't taken students from my school since the early 90s)

Next week?

Mid-December?

Right freakin now?

it depends on how confident you are in your home program/away program. If you are super tight with all the faculty then maybe you don't need to spend $10,000 on flights/hotels/apps like the rest of us. Maybe 3 is the key for you. :xf::luck::)
 
16 rejects

c'mon, who has me beat?

I'm gonna go cry while I wait for the answer
 
Ok. Freaked out too soon and found a Wake Forest massive interview packet in my mail today. Warm fuzzy feeling ensued.

I will stop complaining now. :oops:
 
only 4, but i want more. i wonder if i will even hit the magic 10.
 
16 interviews
Don't count rejections (why focus on the negative?)
Waiting to hear from lots...

Wow, share the wealth!! :love:

3 invites only
20 rejections
Only 27 left (assuming they'll reply) :scared:
 
A positive way to look at things:
I only have 3 but I am happy with the ones I have in terms of quality.

I took out a huge extra loan to cover interview costs.. and am now looking forward to taking a nice big vacation (I'm thinking a 5 week trip) now! :)
 
3 interviews
14 rejections (seeing this can help encourage those who have the same issues...)
1 wait-listed

62 to yet hear back from

I am also very happy with the invitations I have received.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Got an invite earlier in the week that I was excited about.

Now back to rejections.

Still hoping for a good end to the week and a very fruitful week after that.
 
Taking back my grumbling...got a Mt. Sinai invite...one of my fave schools! YAY!

8 invites
29 rejections
 
Way to go sensitive skin! Do you live far from NY since the invites were sent by snail mail?

I've been pretty fortunate with this year's interviews:

16 interviews
10 rejections
2 waitlist

Good luck to all with the next couple weeks. :luck:
 
I've been ravaged.

4 invites (which is great considering I was stuck on 3 for a while)
41 rejections

Make the ouchie stop

Whoa. I think you are at 100% match rate at this point. Congrats!

I am not a New Yorker, but perhaps I will be one for at least three years... :)
 
any updates?

so at which point shall we start panicking?

Nothing new. I've gotten a few rejections from less renowned programs which I was counting on as "backup." This really worries me because, theoretically, I may be ranked in the middle of all my programs and fail to match.

:confused:
 
applied to only med/derm programs (one i applied to late)
so far, 3 invites
 
I received 2 more over the last 2 weeks from unexpected but less renowned programs which was a pleasant surprise.

I had to turn another interview down due to scheduling conflicts.

All in all, I'm pretty happy.

5 so far
1 rejected due to scheduling
1 expected to come soon (home program)
Hoping for 4 more before Christmas but would probably be okay with 1 more. (Oh heck, it's Christmas, the season of taking. I'll take 4 more :))

Closing in on 50 rejects.
