Okay so if you look at Sheet Daddy's tab, I suggested the following: 1. % of schools releasing interview invites vs. weeks in the cycle [cumulative] 2. Applicants graphing their number of invites vs. weeks in the cycle so the gods can have their ego stroked and the tricklers can show the rest of us folks their projected path and reduce a ton of stress/anxiety 3. Emphasizing potential randomness of interview - comparatively speaking we're at the top of our med school classes so our stats will be great, but looking at the stats page it's clear some people are literal gods at derm and others might be solidly average applicants. 4. Creating a 'break point' for trickle interview invites where letters of interest should be sent out - I'm thinking Thanksgiving - again, this will prolly be reflected on graphs. i'm also making a 2x2 table of letter of invite success percentage lol 5. AWAY ROTATION UTILITY - some of these programs don't interview rotators and that can be a huge waste of time. Yea you went to Harvard, didn't get a letter and they don't interview rotators, feeling cool? Or, you went somewhere you didn't expect, had a great time, got a letter AND an interview, and now can match there. WOWWWW!
that sounds awesome!! thanks!!
<< These are awesome suggestions and I love the idea of the sheet! -SD
It's always good to hear from you, SD. I can't help but think there's a bit more panic and despair without you. x2
< OP: I didn't want to make that box any larger than it already is lol, but yes I'm defintely female and I sense you are too? all the exclamation points I use must have given me away :')
I am as well! I think the tip off for me might be the many apologies!
LOL yes that and how supportive you are (not that men can't be supportive)!
Thank you! I really appreciate your initiative on getting the sheet started! Hopefully it will help some people in the future. Not to be too morbid, but I feel kind of like a dwarf in Moria, being closed in on by orcs, leaving a historical account of my story for posterity.
LMAO you have no idea how hard that made me laugh rn :') And of course, but you deserve all the credit for the idea!! I hope it helps others too! << im op of the list and i am a male and i have no idea wtf is going on here
sometimes there are trolls within the mines of moria
I'm the above commentor and I meant OP as in OG OP (A7). Are you B7? Thanks again for the suggestions, and sorry if my comment was confusing! << yes this is B7 and a male, im just gonna chill over here lol
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry I called you a troll. I jumped to a terrible conclusion. This is the closest I have ever gotten to an anonymous online fight and I hope I have learned my lesson. Thank you for your suggestions! They are great! Let's find a place to add those metrics! << yea no problem, i just added suggestion #8
lol glad we sorted that out and thanks for #8! :)
not op, but I'm going to add this to the tab he/she created now! these are all great. i'm glad you think it's great, i was going to do do this anyway and post it on reddit so now maybe i'll have more data too
