Just received my first interview invite!!!! UTMB Austin. I am so excited! This process is totally crazy. I have definately become OCD since I have submitted! Good luck to everyone.

 

[kittycat_642]

Are interview invites all being done by email? Is there anything being done by snail mail or over the phone?

Just curious as I'm away from home!

 

[AtYourCervix]

i got both invites via email. also had a message on eras from uwash.

 

[megkudos1]

Hey All

I was wondering, have your schools uploaded your transcripts to ERAS yet? My school says they aren't going to do upload transcripts until Mid-October and I am wondering if it will delay interview invites for me?

Thanks!
Meghan

[CANES2006]

Interview invite today from Johns Hopkins!!

 

[Quijotemd]

University of New Mexico.

This thread makes me wonder how many programs offer interviews this early and how many don't begin offering until October or so. Or is it that there is no rhyme or reason?

 

[lmh14]

Interview invite today from Johns Hopkins!!

CONGRATS Canes!!! Just out of curiosity - how many of your letters do you have in? I'm wondering if schools will offer interviews before they have any letters. Again, congrats

Hey obgyn06 - I got an invite from Washington Hospital Center too. I think I'm going on 11/22 - have you set up a date yet? I am spouse-less with no significant other, but I think that it would be just fine to take them along!

congrats! but, hey, with a name like that, shouldn't you be over on the urology forum?

 

[Ballsac]

urology was my inital thought... but what better place for a sack than ob/gyn? we seem to be fairly underrepresented.

 

[abmd2006]

I love Austin - I'm mad about Austin! I can definately see the appeal. However, aren't you nervous about the shiny newness of the program? I've put them on my list, then taken them off, then put them on again, then....
Any other opinions about a brand new program? Please reply!

I do have some concerns about the program being so new, but the attendings that I have spoken with said that that could be a good thing too.
More procedures and cases for you to do. Atleast in theory. I am going to the interview, see what the place is like, and make a decision on what I see and hear.

By all means bring your significant other. Our night before interview dinners are laid back (as you'll see), at an attending's house, and will give your partner an insight into what kind of A-holes you'll be spending more time with next year than him/her!

Look forward to meeting you.

Good luck on the invite trail.

 

[AtYourCervix]

got an email from brigham and women saying my app was received, but they are not offering interviews until after their deadline, november 1st.

That's a very good point. Well, if you are so inclined, I am sure there are quite a few people out here who would like to know your impression of the place when you get back.
Good luck to you.
I see that you are from Colorado - I moved from Denver to come to Pitt for school, would love to get back. How's the mile high city?

The program looks pretty good online, I'd love to hear what it's like in person - do you mind posting your thoughts on the program after you check it out?
Thanks and good luck!

 

[Flea girl]

I interview on the 24th of Oct. Will let you all know how it goes. Should be interesting, it will be my first interview. I am actually in Pueblo, not Denver. My school has rotation sites for 3rd & 4th year out here. Anyone hear from Baystate, MA yet?

 

[community]

I received an interview at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philly, PA yesterday. I submitted the application about a week ago. How long did it take most of you to hear back about these interviews? Please also mention if your application is complete (mine isn't at this time).

 

[Kadyra]

I am also interviewing at UTMB Austin and Galveston, as well as UNM. I only applied to places out west. The newness of the Austin program made me think long and hard about applying there, but I'll make up my final decision after I see what it's like.

Man I have not posted here in forever.

Hi guys,

Do those of you who have heard from University of Washington know the interview dates?

Thanks!

 

[Kadyra]

Hi guys,

I'd like to know this as well. I applied there too. They're not known for being DO friendly, but I thought I'd at least give it a shot as my USMLE Step 1 scores were pretty decent. Thanks
