Has anybody heard from Duke or Iowa?

I know Duke had not offered as of about 1 week ago. Don't know about Iowa

On a similar note, anyone heard from Univ Kentucky.

 

[jbloggs]

how about UPenn, Northwestern, or Colorado - anyone heard from these programs?

Anyone wishing to change their morning MCW interview to the afternoon interview please message me. It would be a huge help with my travel plans! Thank you in advance.

Thanks! Did CPMC mention if their interview was still 10/24 (that's what's listed on SF Match)? I'm trying to figure out flights and want to know if I should hold off on a return flight or book it now...

[Macular Star]

I was wondering if anyone can provide any insight into the two programs below. Albany with Paul Beer/Naomi Falk and Houston with Joseph Kawly/Michael Lambert. Both interviews are on the same day and I will have to decline one as neither will provide another day.

Any advice regarding the programs, any known strengths/weaknesses of each, would be helpful.

Thank you!

 

[BuckleExtrusion]

Will be flying to Hawaii. hope weather is nice.

 

[BuckleExtrusion]

Heard that ARVO is moving is that true?

 

[MR1]

Anybody from last year know what to expect for match day. Seems I remember someone saying they heard Sunday night? Also on SFMatch they have a tab "match results". Will this show where we match on Monday?

More nervous for this match than I was for residency.

What to expect? A mad rush for 'vacancy' positions in timbucktwo and owego, nigeria for the 4 retina spots that no one wanted.

 

[MstaKing10]

You get an email early in the morning match day from sfmatch saying that you matched somewhere, you just don't know where because the email does not specify. That same morning I received a call from my program director welcoming me to the program. I think the next day I received an official email from sfmatch confirming my program.

Good luck to all.

 

[echinoderm]

Goood luck everyone!!!

 

[MR1]

Goood luck everyone!!!

Hopefully everyone knows this know but they actually post WHERE you matched on SFMatch now. Congrats to everyone, I hope you all are happy. I am.
