I've heard rumors that certain programs (vandy, duke, etc) don't contact applicants for an interview unless they show specific interest in the program by contacting the program outside of ERAS with a call, letter, or e-mail.
Is this truly necessary to get interviews?
Is this a common practice?
Is there some type of secret application etiquette that must be follwed?
It seems to me that multiple applicants contacting a program outside of ERAS would be an annoyance to the program. It seems that such contact would hurt one's chances of an interview or a position.
Has anyone heard of this being a common practice for screening applicants?
Thanks
