Interviews

Case Western is offering invites to interview via snail mail for Saturday, Jan 11.

Has everyone that applied to Indiana at least 3 weeks ago heard something from them by snail mail? It seems from this board that they are sending out both "invites", and "sorry no invite for now" letters which would imply that most people with complete applications have heard or will hear soon. The reason I ask is because they were doing some construction on my apartment building and we didn't get any mail for two days, I'm just paranoid that my letter may be lost in space. Thanks!

I just got my final letter in today, but I haven't heard from IU one way or the other at this point.

BigErn, I haven't heard anything from Indiana either. No news is good news?!?!?!?!

Just wondering what kinda numbers/connections these people that are getting interviews have? Just hadn't heard anything from anyone, but the same that you guys have gotten from IU - got it, reviewed it, might see you later. Do you have to have a 289 (115th percentile) and 4.3 + Junior AOA and seventeen papers in major mags to get an interview at some of these places? Oh well, just kinda frustrated with all the gsurg, derm, and radiolo-vacation people getting interviews already, while all us bone boys (& girls) are sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting to hear back.

Haven't heard from IU and submitted my application 10-5. Just heard from CWRU today.

I think we are all in the same boat....waiting (not- so-patiently) hoping the invites will start coming in.

I have to admit, it has been painful listening to my fellow classmates going into Gsurge, Emed, OB etc. etc. etc., talk about the 25 invites they have received and who they have to turn down! :evilgrin:

I know I was starting to consider sending off another 20 applications just to increase my odds!

It is still early in the game. I spoke with my home school today re interviews, they don't send invites until the first week of December.

At least we can %*$&@ on this forum...And, I can't believe the only people getting invites are the ones with 25 publications that could be teaching the prep courses for the USMLE. But who knows?
