We are oficially 1/4 of the way through interview invite season today (25% of programs have sent out first contact)! Timestamp: Nov 3, 2017.
Is it still accurate that 25% of us have zero interviews still or are people just not updating their stats? I'm feeling pretty awful over here with zero interviews still... cant think of a reason why I would all of a sudden get a bunch of interviews.... so assuming I will finish with a below average number. starting to get to me. This week was supposed to be big. And it was. for what seems like everyone else....
Keep in mind that this is a small sample size and one that may not necessarily be representative of the entire derm applicant pool. UNC's rejection letter says that they got 571 applications, and we have 57 people participating in the Stats tab. There are likely many more applicants out there who are sitting at 0 interviews now.
At this rate, there is no way matched applicants will have an average of 8 interviews.
What do you mean?? x6
I think whoever wrote this is alluding to the fact that there are so many applicants this year, many of whom seem highly qualified, that interviews will be harder to come by and therefore the average number of interviews that people get on average will be lower, even those that match. That's how I interpreted the comment at least
I haven't updated mine (which currently says zero) since the spreadsheet switch to this other type of commenting
Hm, you should be able to sign out of google then right click to comment anonymously and change the stats tab in a completely anonymous way. That is what the majority of people have been doing. Is that helpful? We would all certainly appreciate it if you kept it updated in this way!
well this is depressing...
