We have contact...

Has UF- Gainesville definitely made calls? I am also in the boat hoping that a lot of places arent calling this year since my phone has been silent

They have made phone calls. I received a call from the Chairman last week. However, I wouldn't be nervous by not receiving calls. The majority of programs out there do not contact applicants. Just hang in there for 3 more weeks. Good luck.

I heard Lenox Hill sent out a pretty strong email last week. Don't know how many people it was sent to, have only heard of 1. Anyone else hear anything?

what does a phone call/email generally mean anyway? ranked in top 10, 20? i realize it depends, just dont see what the point of worrying is when no one knows how many calls/emails are sent.

honestly who knows. im sure it means different things to different programs and i just ranked what i wanted regardless of who i heard from and what i heard from them.

UNC says they contact top 15%, Stony Brook says they contact top 10 people, who knows about places like Pitt, Duke, Rochester who contact whoever they feel like.

Heard OHSU contacted people. Not sure what level of assurance they received.

I must say... Hearing about all of the programs contacting people makes me pretty sad/nervous. I recognize 100's of people match each year without the mysterious contact. I think what would be more interesting to hear about would be whether anyone ever got "the call" then failed to match at that program.

Any stories to cheer me up ?
