Residency interview invites 2016

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
do programs usually send a rejection or do you just not hear anything if you don't get offered an interview? Still waiting to hear back from lots of programs

How many did everyone apply to and how many interviews have you gotten so far? I applied to 12 and got 2 interviews. Starting to get anxious!!!

I applied to 12 programs. So far 3 interviews, 3 rejections, and still waiting to hear from 6. Of the 6 I'm waiting on, I got emails from 2 saying they were reviewing my application (but no timeline on when they would get back to me) and haven't heard anything from the other 4 at all.

Yeah I now have 3 invites, but from the looks of the google doc, I cant say that I expect many more :( Did not expect it to go this badly, but hopefully I kill it at the 3 interviews I do have...Good luck!
 
Applied to 10. 1 interview, 3 rejections, and 6 nothings. I'll give it my all at my interview but let's be honest the odds are kind of low. For others with low odds like me when are you going to apply for jobs? Should I be applying now or wait until post scramble?

Stay positive! The 2nd match shouldn't be looked as a bad thing; I imagine there are many great programs that have gotten overlooked and will have spots available!

Do you know how the 2nd round is going to work? Do we have to pay again for each application?

I unfortunately don't know the details about cost, but my understanding is that the process is set up like this one. I've also heard that instead of traveling to sites there is likely more telephone/video interviews due to a time crunch. This will be the first year they are implementing the 2nd match, but from my understanding it should be a lot better than have to do the "scramble".

Also i imagine that there will be a list of places that are unmatched? I think for the scramble people had to search and figure out who had spots available which made it a very chaotic process.

This is all coming from a lecture a while back so I could be completely wrong, but if I hear any other details I'll be sure to message you!

I applied to 14, mix of competitive academic medical centers and smaller community hospitals.
Funny that I've gotten interviews to 4 top competitive academic medical centers, but nothing from the smaller sites. The interview selection process is so confusing!

Anyone know when is last day of interview invites? End of jan, beginning of march? sigh

Start now. It doesn't hurt to have a plan B. If you end up matching, just be professional and give whatever chain hired you a heads up and an apology. By heads up, give at least a 2 week notice.

I would recommend that for anyone regardless of what he/she thinks the odds are. I know someone from last year who applied to 10, interviewed at all 10 sites, and didn't match with any site until scramble. I also know someone who had 1 invite, nailed it, and got the position. He didn't have stellar grades but his personality matched what his residency was looking for.

From my understanding, you will still have to pay the $40 fee to each new program you apply to. If you decide to reapply to a program that you originally applied to and didn't get an invite during the first round, you will not have to pay for that specific program again. People that are applying to residencies for the first time during phase II will have to pay the $150 match fee in addition.

One of my roommates was told by a program that the last possible day they would notify her would be February 20. For interview dates, the latest I've been given an option for is February 29.

Rejection email from Baptist in San Antonio this morning. They only interviewed 4 applicants for their 1 position, all of whom already had ties to the San Antonio area.

I'm still waiting on UCI. Didn't apply to the other two.

You were the one that asked about the LA/OC area correct? What places have you heard from already?

I called PhORCAS yesterday, and this is what they told me*
  • Round 2 is the same as round 1: $100 for the first 4 programs and $35 for each additional program you apply to**
  • You have to pay for each program you apply to, even if you applied to them during round 1
*All that being said, when I first got on the phone with a person and asked about round 2, the lady told me there was only round 1 and the scramble... then she remembered there was a round 2.
**The person I spoke to said additional programs in round 2 were $35 each, but I think it's probably $40 each, because that's what it was during round 1. I believe it was $35 in the past, and even when I attended the session on PhORCAS at MidYear, some of their power points still said $35, even through it is $40.
 
What was the point of having two matches and then the scramble? It just looks like another way to get more money from the people who are least able to afford it

Wait, it's a 2 part match now? That's ridiculous.

If I remember correctly, their reasoning was that some crazy number of people didn't match last year (like 60%?).

The bigger issue was the large number of unfilled residency positions, from my understanding. I think the point was to standardize the process of filling the unfilled spots from the first round of matching.

Anyone hear from Houston Methodist after the phone interviews?

Also waiting to hear from Dartmouth-hitchcock in NH. They said they would be reviewing apps 11-15 and would let us know no later than the 15tg. Anyone hear from them?

Heard back last week for an interview. They offered four days, which makes me think three interviews per day if they are interviewing 11-15 people?
