And so it begins folks!
Applications are in, the programs have started their screening process.

Please post here if/when you hear back from programs.
I would prefer this to be a stress free zone so no scores, no hyper-competitive messages.

Here's how these thread works:

You Reply to the OP's thread, adding in your information (generally either in Bold print or putting at the top some info like, "adding in UCLA info").

It will be much much easier to read that way rather than individual posts with info."

Good luck everyone!

It looks like it will no longer be possible for applicants to view if the programs have downloaded all or part of your application.
Sucks! Adds on to the ever increasing 'unknown variable' list. :yuck::watching:

FMG typically refers to foreign citizen grads of foreign med schools. IMG usually refers to US citizens that graduated from a foreign med school.

Oops. I stand corrected. Happens when you join SDN late.

We should use this as an official interview invite/reject thread. People have already posted some of their application details.

surgeon-to-be -- Are you able to change the title of this thread to match the ones from the past years so people can find us more easily and join in on the discussion?

This thread is nice too (thanks @surgeon-to-be) but as far as checking the status of interview invites in an organized fashion, I personally would prefer the setup @Atton suggested
 
OK, I don't want to duplicate efforts so for the sake of consistency we can move to the thread that @Atton has set up.
However, I have edited my original post (copied and pasted from you @Atton - plagiarism--eepp!!! :dead::nailbiting::sorry:) in case people want to continue posting here.
 
non-US IMG, 103 programs
