Mar 23

GW invite (trickle? External, no ties)

#1892Mar 23

<Congrats!

Mar 23

were you on the waitlist?

Mar 23

No (I was neither rejected or placed on waitlist)

Mar 23

Okay, I am going to dare fate. "OH BOY IT SURE IS A SLOW DAY TODAY FOR INTERVIEW INVITATIONS." Now expect waves upon waves of interview invites in the next hour. << lol, so true << and here, we see the American derm applicant engaged in its daily courtship ritual. << lmao 5 mins after this, Wash U invite << amazing!

#1683Mar 23

Don't know if I believe it -_- << the Derm Gods tease us << someone do it again << but yeah, have a feeling this one might be fake

Mar 23

definitely not fake

Mar 23

interviews? you mean rejections right?🙃< Positivity, pls.

Mar 23

I'm positive some rejections are gonna go out. Get it?

Mar 23

Love it. << You said ~slow day~ and then GW rejected like 500 of us. LMAO HOLY SHIT

Mar 23

GWU rejection (ERAS) x30

#1663Mar 23

Damnit :( << the list of programs i applied to and got rejected from grows, while the amount of interviews i have remains small. this is a really bad foreboding.x2 . << I just clicked on my full rejections folder and my almost empty interview folder (thank god for internal ii) in my email...kinda depressing << I think I’ve gotten every rejection that’s come out lol

Mar 23

Anyone in limbo or is it all interview vs reject

Mar 23

if you didn't get the rejection email I guess that's limbo?? << yes I know what limbo is I’m asking if anyone is in it

Mar 23

yeah, you! Smart ass. << TENSIONS ARE HIGH << i posted a nice picture down one cell lets just enjoy each others company - meme << your memes are not funny at all.... << your sense of humor is wrong then << lol you're so sensitive << I think the memes are funny as long as they're not too big. You're doing great mr. meme

Mar 23

lol x4

Has anyone recieved details yet from George Washington about their interview day?

#1585Mar 23

Will derm interview invites be offered on Thursday 11/7/19 following a silent Wednesday (1 derm rejection)? Yes: 2 No: 0 Programs: WashU (regular), Stanford, Minnesota Actual: Recap of Wednesday 11/6/19 Invites: 0 Rejections: 1 (U of Rochester) TY/Prelim released today (2): U Pitt (Prelim and TY), Brockton (TY) Derm interviews released since Monday (12 first time offers, 1 research track, 1 second wave): U New Mexico, U Arkansas, Oklahoma, Eastern Virginia, Howard, NYU, Mississippi, Medical College of Wisconsin, Georgetown, Wash U (Research), Henry Ford, George Washington, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital and Cooper (2nd wave) TY/Prelim released this week: UVA (Prelim), U Pitt (Prelim and TY) and Brockton (TY) As of 8:40 EST: 63% of derm programs have not sent out interviews and a sum total of ~171/447 (38%) derm spots have been offered interviews. What's the point? IT IS EARLY and the overwhelming majority of spots have not been offered interviews yet AND even the ones that have been offered may not have offered for all their spots. On this equivalent day (i.e. first Wednesday of the month) last year: 1 interview went out (George Washington University, which came out yesterday for us). On tomorrow’s equivalent day (i.e. first Thursday of November) last years: 6 derm interviews went out and 1 med/derm interview! (Wayne State, U Minnesota, Dartmouth, Columbia, Virginia Tech, Southern Illinois and Washington MedDerm) Looking ahead: This week last year was a busy week for interviews with 16 being released in total! Goodnight everyone! -SD

<< This is a long post with some relevant data in addition to your predictions. Hope you all find this useful and have a goodnight! -SD << You're #1 in my heart. Thanks SD <3 x7 <<< SheetDaddy fan here, but I think if the posts were smaller, more morsels/highlights, like the first program prediction/tally template - we'd probably get most people on board. On mobile a post like this to the left takes up entire screen

Mar 23

<-- Download the "Calm" App. << why? << because this is neurotic! << Chill out bro, don't read it if you don't like it instead of being negative. Maybe you should spend your time using the "calm" app instead of being up everyones ass x6 << this actually is pretty neurotic, and I don't think saying something is neurotic should invite such a volatile response. Like damn this whole SD shit is becoming cult-like and stupid.

Mar 23

Hey SD--how many interviews do you have? x2

Mar 23

sdff

Mar 23

Good morning everyone! Will interview invites be released 11/6/19? Yes: 5 No: 11 Programs: Mount Sinai, University of Miami, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Hopkins, Penn Actual: 0 As of 12:00PM today: 63% of programs have not sent out interviews and a sum total of ~171 derm spots have been offered interviews. What does this discrepency between the % of programs that have not been released and the large amount of spots that have not been offered interviews? That the 63% of interviews that have not been released encompasses the larger programs that have more spots and many that have already sent out interviews are smaller and more "regional". What's the point? IT IS EARLY and the overwhelming majority of spots have not been offered interviews yet AND even the ones that have been offered may not have offered for all their spots. On this equvelant day (i.e. first Wednesday of the month) in last years application cycle: 1 interview went out (George Washington University, which came out yesterday for us). Love, SD

#1427Mar 23

Johns Hopkins and Penn are both overdue for interview invites this year. Hopefully, Vanderbilt sends its regular ones out today << Mayo AZ is also pretty overdue << Also, to the neurotics among us, just know that Penn, Vanderbilt, and Johns Hopkins have historically sent out their invitations in batches

Mar 23

Penn's website says by 11/25

Mar 23

<Hopkins and penn - both of these places so far out of my reach it doesn't affect me << Try not to feel this way. I was on 0 for a long time and got 2 interviews at top 10 programs. My app is so regular that I assumed it was a mistake. The point is, you never know and no program is a reach.

Mar 23

<haha, Mt. Sinai practically sends after Christmas, but I like the wishful thinking!

Mar 23

12/6 in 2017, but yes, probs too early.

Mar 23

#1403Mar 23

Congrats!! Method of contact? << thank you for adding! << Did more than 1 person get an invite? yes, according to email, 32 applicants selected for interview

Mar 23

Anyone surprised that they DIDNT get an interview somewhere? Rotator? Research experience? Regional connection?

#1398Mar 23

Me. NY resident, didn't do med school in NY, but literally did an away rotation with a LOR from a NY school. No NYU, no Columbia. <<Me. Georgetown. Lived in DC for 4 years << Me. From the Midwest no U of M, Iowa, or Wisconsin! <<Feel that one bruh. x5 << Same, also no Arizona or New Mexico #cool . << 18 years in Texas and no TX programs yet (holding on to hope). From Mexico, no offer from New Mexico!

Mar 23

Me. Born in Boston, went to Harvard, no interview from Harvard << Harvard hasn't gone out yet? Do you mean pre-lim? x2. Prelim <<I got harvard prelims with no connections, but did not get my home program's prelim...its pointless to try to make sense of it
