No interviews!

Ok so....I'm starting to think...when the hell am I gonna get my first interview. I am considered competive by my PD and other faculty. But 10 of the programs I have applied to have given interview yet i have heard no word from them. I am a 240+ Honors/HP throughout medschool...strong letters, but limited research.

JointDoctor,
I'm in the same annoying boat. I am freaking out a bit myself, but I did find some relief in some residents saying that they didn't get their interviews until late November. Hang in there playa', you're not alone.

Same boat.
248 Step 1, AOA, Research, honors in my important clerkships, high pass in the rest....
0 interviews.

Yeah its to early to hit the panic button...but damn let's get this ish moving .Men, its a new day for new opportunities...let's get get, get it!

There were several guys last year from my school that received late interviews and matched. These dudes were below average candidates too. I'm talking late december interview offers and 3 of them matched at these places. One dude had 1 or 2 interviews in late november, ended up with 10 interviews and matched.

My PD was saying their 2 criteria are board score and geographic location. Obviously you guys have the board scores. How many programs did you apply to in your region? Or probably more importantly, how many programs did you apply to that are in highly sought after cities/areas?

I'm a mid 230s, very close to AOA, one research project, strong letters applicant. So I'm average. I have 9 interviews, 2 from rotations, so 7 offers. These interviews aren't in what most would consider desirable locations. And the programs aren't huge academic centers filled with bow-tie wearing hot-shots. Although, for me they are desirable, I hate traffic, big city life, and bow-ties.

You guys will get interviews! You're all above average for ortho. I am assuming you applied to big name places in awesome cities. They will come and you will match!

They will come and you will match!

Why the F#@% would you say someting like that?
