What do you guys think about a system like this:
Applicants rank programs they want to apply to. Each week, next top 5 from the applicant's list are sent to programs.
Programs then mark people they want to interview. At the end of the month, top 5 programs as ranked by applicants, send interviews to applicants. So if 15 programs out of the 20 that got applications want to interview you, you just get the top 5 programs you wanted to apply to. Interview invite queue would persist month-to-month.
This process continues until match day, where the match works as usual.
This has the effect of slowing down apps to PDs and prevents interview hoarding. It also shows PDs who is really serious about applying to their program, because they will be scheduled early.
