programs contacting applicants

After going through this process last year, the one thing that i can say with confidence is to rank them how you like them, not based on phone calls and/or letters. In the end, that's all that matters. It's a long road and happiness is something that you should not compromise. so if a place that you had #4 calls you, don't move them up, b/c No. 1-3 may not call anyone and they may want you. good luck, and enjoy your last year b/c internship...well, it's internship.

Some people in my class have been contacted by the following programs:

University of Rochester
University of Michigan
Johns Hopkins

Hope this information is helpful.

Thanks Galeazzi.

I also know of the following programs contacting applicants, either by mail or by phone:

Case Western
U of Wisconsin
U of Penn
Northwestern
Emory

Are you sure about Rochester? They said specifically at their interview that they do not make calls or send letters.

Rochester does make calls.
Not a rumor, not hearsay, not 'from a friend of a friend'.....fact.

However, not hearing from a program that you know has called others is not necessarily a bad thing. Don't adjust your rank list based on calls.

Lifesux (but only for a few more weeks....I hope.....please god let me match!)

Anyone had any correspondences from Lenox Hill or UVA? They said they may contact their top choices. I haven't heard from either but am hoping to. Good luck with the match guys.
