Invites

Cruel, both cruel.

Anyone know if the majority of programs will tell you that you won't be getting an interview? I remember med school apps being mostly silent rejections.

I think most programs do not send any kind of response. Most likely, they send out invites to a wave of applicants, and then have some sort of unofficial wait list that they will reach out to as the initial invitees cancel/reject interviews.

There are only so many interview dates so the top candidates getting >25/30 interviews will have to end up canceling some interviews.

(Fingers crossed, but I imagine it works something like this)

It seems like a thread like this is started every year. Would be nice to know if things ended up working out for the people in similar situations in years past. I'm also a little worried with the lack of invites

I just created a poll threat that may offer more help to those who are interviewing this year and those who interview in the future. Please try to vote so we can get actual concrete data instead of subjective statements like "interviews don't come out until November."

I'm starting to lose hope at this point. The whole phenomenon of "second wave" can't happen if these rejections don't stop coming in.
