University of Tennessee Memphis (10/26)

I applied to 10 southeast programs and have gotten interviews so far at 8:

Vandy
UAB
Emory
MUSC
Carolinas Med. Center
VCU/MCV
UVA
Wake

Waiting on:
Duke

But as of yesterday, I have been REJECTED at UNC. I liked this program and considered it in my top three for quality and geography preference, and sort of assumed I'd interview there. My stats: Mid tier med school, boards: I-97, II-99, no publications, top 25% of class, B in Medicine clerkship. Anybody got any thoughts here?

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like just one of those things you just can't reason out. Perhaps the "B" in medicine??? Fortunately, you've got a solid list, but I guess the fact that UNC was one of your top 3 makes it sting a bit. Good luck though!

More applications this year than the past - almost all med schools have been expanding class sizes, without an appreciable and corresponding increase in residency slots, especially in the "primary care eras". Most of those new and graduating American seniors are NOT filtering into plastics, ENT, ophthal, etc., they are going Internal, possibly FP. The IM field is becoming mild more competitive than in past years - you used to be able to scramble into IM no problem, not so anymore . . . and the competition at the top dog programs, appears to be killer based the few who are posting here - I assume they are representative of most of the candidates for those positions. (For comparisan, wander over to Ophthal forum and look their stats, compare with those getting invites at the big dogs here).

You've got a great batch of interviews - it's just the process . . .

I agree with some of the other comments that it might be the B in Medicine. Very picky I have to say, as it sounds as if you are an excellent candidate. You have really good list though so don't sweat about it. :)

Sorry to hear about UNC. I'm not clear on their selection process but... I have very similar #s to you and I was invited for an interview. I scored an "A" in my 3rd year Medicine clerkship and a "B" and "A" in my two 4th year Medicine sub-I's so far. And, I do have several publications/research background. According to my Program Director, UNC is notoriously competitive for a "second-tier program", likely because people fall in love with the region and b/c it gets the Duke "run-off". But as everyone has pointed out, you have a *Great* list of programs at which to interview =). Keep your head up and good luck on the interview trail!
 
I got JHBayview this morning... with a personalized invitation no less!
It's nice that MSPE's are out.
 
awesome:thumbup:

Did you do an away?
 
Anybody have an idea what % of interviews have been sent out so far at places like Brigham, mgh, columbia, cornell, ucsf, UW? How long will it be before all hope is gone to get an interview? 1 week? 1 month?
 
Has anyone heard from Boston University?
 
JHBayview today as well. Heard good things about this program but unsure.

relax...it's only 4 days after the mspe was sent out with a weekend thrown in, so i would say there's still a good chunk of time left before losing all hope. at least until the end of november/first weeks of december even, if you are a not-so-competitive applicant at a highly competitive program...
 
Cleveland Clinic - Florida (won't attend)
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital (won't attend)
Santa Clara Valley (may attend)

(email/ERAS)

Agree with the no worries post. As far as I can get from looking here a few of us got Cornell late last week, no one has gotten Brigham or MGH yet. We'll cross our fingers for tomorrow and this next week and see where we all come out...

Got JHUBayview today and I am also a little unsure about it. Looking at previous threads it seems like they have a really good match list and are more associated with JHU than JHU/Mt Sinai.

Yeah the personalized invites were quite impressive I have to say. Plus it was nice to get a little insight as to what my LORs said.

Yea, I had the same difficulty. After you log in, just kind of click your way to the IM Residency site while in the same window you logged in under. I think you go to Education --> Applicant Information and you will find all the info you need.

I went Department & Services in the upper left, then clicked on Academic Department under the Medicine heading .... then Residency Applicant Info under the Education tab on the left .. then Interview Information on the right. Hope that helps.

Fexofenadine, you're hot.

Gezz thanks! :p But obviously not hot enough for Penn, UCSF, MGH, Cornell, Brigham, etc..... ( i wonder if it's because i added some programs later in the cycle)...

I'm getting very nervous now as some of these invites are comming out...
 
How come I was hot enough for Cornell but not hot enough for Stanford?! Fexo, I'll trade you Corny for Stanny.

oh my bad..that is one of only two days to interview for Research track

Congrats NZ1234,

Looks like you and HiddenTruth are the first here with invites to the JHU Osler program:thumbup:
 
Does anyone know on average how many people are invited to the elite programs for interview. eg MGH, Brigham, Hopkins. Not trying to start a discussion on which programs are elite.

If the program filled out their survey it should be on FREIDA. Just off the top of my head most of the 'elite' programs invited 350-400 applicants. BWH was different though they only offered 100 interviews for 70 spots (Not sure if it counts prelims). Which I guess means interviews there, at least for last year, were hard to come by but if you got one you were in like Flynn.

Congrats on JHU downtown well done :hardy:. I am just waiting for their rejection if they're nice enough to send one. They might bend to peer pressure like all the other pgroams I applied to and leave me in a silent abyss. ;)
