Not trying to stress anyone out here, just curious to see where the majority stand.

anyone else feel like this train is slowing down? I’m still waiting to hear from 15 or so programs but I feel like the last two weeks were much more rapid fire than this week?

I feel like whether you think the "train is slowing down" depends on where you applied geographically. seems like some regions are much earlier than others, based on a cursory glance at the invites thread.

Agreed that it seems to have slowed down a bit in the last 1.5 weeks, hoping for it to pick up again in the near future! In looking at last years threads it seems that late November/early December was a hot time.

Glad I applied broadly because the offers have been so random. Rejected from lots of local places and invited to places where I never thought I would be considered. Lots of great programs are yet to invite. Good luck to all!

Applied 65
Interviews: 9 - 8 offers and 1 interview while at away rotation

Seems very regional. I know people with 20 interviews and people with 0. I think its super variable right now.

Chin up! We will get through this awful process!

skolHarvin, it seems like you have the most interviews... if you don't mind, could you share your stats... feel free to say no

My stats are not above average for ortho (Step 1 <240). My application strengths are having a graduate degree, several 1st author pubs in a related field, and I improved ~30 pts on step2. I imagine my other grades, letters, etc. are very similar to most applicants.

Seems that a lot of schools in the NE have yet to send out invites, esp. NY/NJ. Maybe Hurricane Sandy set them back a bit.

That's excellent. Could you let us know how frequently the pubs and graduate degree come up, and in what context, after some of your interviews? Good job, and good luck. Thanks for sharing your info.
