There hasn't been much talk this year about post interview antics. Are people just not sharing the info, or are fewer calls being made from previous years?..Just wondering, and this stress the eating me alive

Grimgrizly - To answer your question, Yale letter was from Dr. Jokl.

I think that it is fun to hear about these things. Also someone above (tarsalcoalition) specificially asked about correspondances from that list of programs he/she posted.

This discussion may bother some people, but they are not speaking for everyone.

Hey, I got a call from your grandma too... She mentioned that I was a great candidate and that she looked forward to seeing me next year!

I got a call from my Grandma, she said I would match at my top choice! Sounded kind of generic though, anyone else?

Why does this thread exist? You either get a letter/phone call, or you don't... Any communication received should have no bearing on your decision making. All you are doing is feeding your own/others neuroticism.

Did not get it. Might not be so generic after all.

Anyone know anything about U of Florida? I heard that Dr. Gearen makes some phone calls. How many does he call? Just the top 4? Has he made any calls yet?

Got an email from Yale stating that they recieved full 5 year accreditation and that they were pleased to have met me, I am assuming that everyone who interviewed recieved this?

Did anyone/everyone else that interviewed there get this email?

According to their residents, Mayo calls their top 10. Apparently, you can contact the residency coordinator and find out what "tier" youre in. Don't know anything about the letters for this year but dont think they were sent out last year.

I know, from speaking with two attendings on the residency committee, that Mayo rarely goes past 20 in their ranklist, for their 10 spots. I would assume that they would make phone calls to their top 15 or 20 and perhaps letters to the next tier. I am making this assumption based on one fact, so take this with a grain of salt. Good luck

I know that Wisconsin, Iowa and Mayo have made phone calls.

On a side note, I can't believe the match is only 5 weeks away! It's starting to get hairy.
