anyone else feel like this train is slowing down? Iâm still waiting to hear from 15 or so programs but I feel like the last two weeks were much more rapid fire than this week?
I feel like whether you think the "train is slowing down" depends on where you applied geographically. seems like some regions are much earlier than others, based on a cursory glance at the invites thread.
applied 50+
Interviews 2 (rotated) , 2 (rotation counted as interview)
Rejections 7
waitlist 1 confirmed, a lot others have sent both interviews and rejections but i haven't heard from them so assuming i'm wait-listed.

Agreed that it seems to have slowed down a bit in the last 1.5 weeks, hoping for it to pick up again in the near future! In looking at last years threads it seems that late November/early December was a hot time.

Glad I applied broadly because the offers have been so random. Rejected from lots of local places and invited to places where I never thought I would be considered. Lots of great programs are yet to invite. Good luck to all!
Applied 65
Interviews: 9 - 8 offers and 1 interview while at away rotation
Seems very regional. I know people with 20 interviews and people with 0. I think its super variable right now.
Chin up! We will get through this awful process!

Seems that a lot of schools in the NE have yet to send out invites, esp. NY/NJ. Maybe Hurricane Sandy set them back a bit.
Applied: 54
Interview Offers: 17 (can't go to 3 due to sched conflicts)
Waitlist: 4
Rejections: maybe 5-6
Still waiting on quite a few, probably mroe than 10
