No interviews!

i have a couple of interviews, but I too have not heard from Hopkins (no yay or nay) and others. I applied to Ohio, and saw that they had sent out rejections and interviews, and still had not heard.... until yesterday. I email them asking them on my status, and they told me that they had sent out an invite!! and i never got it! don't know what's going on... getting paranoid that are they getting lost? does anyone have a similar experience?

They will come and you will match!

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

Why wouldn't you say something like that Agent13?

That's a little bold. Seeing as how nearly 25% of US seniors who ranked at least 1 program DID NOT MATCH, you can't make any promises (esp when you are only an applicant).

Same thing happened to me last year except it was one of my aways so I checked into it pretty quickly. You never know...

I guess it was about 21%, looking at Charting Outcomes..but either way, that's more 1 in 5. That's a lot.

21% is a significant number and it applies to the general applicant pool. If you look at other factors, 240+ has a 90% chance of matching and AOA gives you a 96% chance of matching.

although I wonder if these numbers also might be a little skewed. I'm not 100% positive where Charting Outcomes gets their data, but around graduation time last year my entire class received a survey from NRMP on our match experiences. Me, having been burned by the ortho match despite supposedly stellar stats, did not bother to fill out or return the survey. Significant bias may be at play here, so the numbers might not be as rosy as they seem.
