Responses from Ortho Programs

Wash U eras email 11/7 letting know dates and saying they would send out offers in 3-4 weeks

Anyone else not hear one way or the other from OSU? Got no offer but no rejection either...

anyone else getting frustrated not hearing from places yet?

i mean i went through this whole process last year, and you would think i would be more lax about it....i've heard from a couple so far, but...i'm like..just tell me one way or the other..

sorry just needed to vent....g'luck to everyone

I figured maybe they just wanted to know if you are in AOA & which year (junior or senior) you were inducted? I agree, though, very bizarre email

I know we can't make changes to ERAS so do we just email the program cordinator saying "I am sorry I did not make AOA, hope I can still be considered"...seriously

Does anyone know if any of the programs that have sent out invites are going to be sending out more invites later, or do they all send out only one round of invites. Obviously, this is a broad question, but any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

From a few other posts and personal experience, it seems like if you don't get something in the original wave (or two) from a program, odds are that you won't be offered an interview there. It seems like some of the programs do send out a second wave a week after the first (Duke did this, Carolinas Med Center, Penn State, I think, and Hopkins might be planning to...), but after that if you haven't heard anything, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Stanford, for instance, have allegedly sent out the only interview offers they plan to send, but have not sent out rejections.

Also, keep in mind that it's still early, so wait lists won't be moving as much because people's schedules aren't filled yet. I'm hopeful that in the coming weeks, wait lists will start moving a little bit as people turn down or cancel offers that conflict.

Just my two cents, and good luck to everyone. This is a frustrating process...
