Post-interview Contact 2013-2014

Assuming that students do not alter their ROLs because of it, it shouldn't matter (other than give us neurotic folks a piece of mind - or maybe just false hope ha). It can change though if a student moves a program ahead of another program they would have matched at because of contact - which is why post-interview contact is really more beneficial for the programs and not the applicants.

There's some utility in knowing that you have a class of residents who really want to be there, as opposed to be their 4th or 5th choice.

Agreed, which is why it may help you to let the programs high on your ROL where they stand.

Well I will bite the bullet and agree to post contact anonymously if anyone wants to share- just PM me and I will post it...

Has anyone received a telephone call from freddie fu this year?

I don't understand why posting 'anonymously' would help anybody's cause- I doubt most people know who the usernames on orthogate correspond to.

How does post-interview contact assure this? Not sure I see the logic there - programs can call people who still won't rank them #1
