Spiff21,

At roughly this time last year you had a few interivews. Were the interview offers that came later from programs who had not yet offered interviews? Or, were they from programs offering for a second or maybe third time; possibly as people canceled due to conflicts?

Thanks man, and best of luck to all!

Honestly, it is never over until it is over. JPS had stone cold rejected me weeks ago, and then today out of the blue I got an invite.

As people cancel, crazy stuff can happen.

Combination of both. I think that something like three of them were from programs that had already sent out at least some offers at this point. Good luck.

What is going on? There are some programs that I would love to go to that I thought realistically I would receive interview from that denied me. Should we/I start thinking now that I may hear from them? Whew!!! Just screaming out loud at this process, people!

Profile: USMLE I 240's, USMLE II 250's, No AOA. Which of these were really out of reach? Just a conversation starter on a slow, slow, and stressful Friday. Give your two cents (if you care to venture)

I think most of schools on that list is out of your reach. you need at least a 250+ AOA to get an invite to those places unless you have something special.
