^^^Lotta anxiety here right now lol....
Harvard, Stanford, Penn, and NYU will crash the sheet
Mid or low-tier program sends out an invite -> "Congrats! Internal or external? Any ties to the program?" vs Top-tier program send out an invite "I DIDNT GET AN INVITE THERE SO YOU MUST BE A TROLL. WHY ARE YOU COMMENTING ANONYMOUSLY? LIARRRRRRRRR"
Please stop. This is not productive.
Stanford invite!!! Holy crap. Through ERAS - 1/12/18.
andddddddddd... cue the delusional outrage.
Congrats! x1
Internal or external?
Internal
External x2
hmmm stanford doesn't traditionally use ERAS for invites
The email was through ERAS but there was no ERAS scheduling (since there's only 1 date)
the denial is apparently still alive and well here
But... but... It's November, which is the 11th month of the year, and 1=2, where the 2nd letter in Stanford is "t," meaning that Stanford gives out invites on Tuesdays. IT'S A TROLL, EVERYBODY!
Stanford typically does internals on separate date - not this year?
Stanford didn't release anything lol
are you sure, how do you know? Was this the troll too? I was wondering ... MODERATORS: any news on whether this stanford thing was a troll or not?
Please don't let this turn into a UCSF-style debacle. I got an interview - you can choose to believe it or not. I love how no one questions Case Western, Vandy, or Minnesota.
Thanks! I believe you, was just confused by all these unhelpful comments. Do you mind telling me if you're external or an internal student/away rotator? I really appreciate it.
No problem, external with ties to CA I thanks!!
Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that several of us have checked with Stanford residents and faculty. We have confirmed that no interviews have gone out.
Knew it
Thanks for updating us! x3 |
Request to archive, especially after the Stanford trolling... x2
Stanford invite!!! external, non rotator x4 l cue the angry denials about how this person is lying? l Nah, today I believe it. Congrats, person! x2 l Contact method?
Non-ERAS email
It's an individualized email though, so they're probably still sending out the invites.
Has anyone else received an invitation?
I know a real person who recieved an invite. It's happening!
Invite, external rotator x1
Anyone know if they send out multiple waves or just the one? The spreadsheet last cycle has 2 contact dates
these still going out?
seems like no updates for several hours, but maybe we'll see another wave!
Anyone know how likely it is to get off the Stanford waitlist?
Mayo Rochester invite - external x4
Phone call? Personalized or generic email?
phone call or email?
ERAS email
ugh waitlist.
Waitlisted as well. Anyone know how likely it is to get an invite off the waitlist here?
rejections incoming...
On that note, how likely to get an invite off waitlist at MCW?
damn. rotated here and thought I had a decent shot
Seriously? That's rough
What about the Stanford waitlist? x2
Can anyone confirm if the Mayo invites are still going out? I haven't heard either way
lol here we go again...
Can someone post the interview dates?
Does anyone know how the Mayo clinic does invites? Is it by region/last name/ etc?
I heard that Stanford makes calls to all interviewees post-interview. Have people recieved that call?
I heard the same thing but did not receive a call. x3
Programs that have done RTM calls so far= Stanford, Yale, any others?
Only Yale
UCSF
Yale def did (I got a call), but Stanford doesnt do RTM calls and UCSF hasnt done them yet from what i was told by the PC
Stanford did not make RTM calls. Above we were saying they may call all people they interview to ask for questions. haven't done it yet it seems though,
I got an explicit RTM call from Stanford
Stanford doesn't do RTM calls, stop lying to troll us.
Man there are some sadistic assholes on this spreadsheet. The thought of potentially being a co-resident with one of them is terrifying x2
Any new RTM calls or emails recently?
Got a call from Stanford seeing if I had any additional questions. Don't think it was RTM. Anyone else get called?
<---trolling. Stanford didn't make calls.
Hrm, how are you sure whether they have or have not made calls?
<-- sweet. Was it also just for questions? |
Stanford RTM call
I'm pretty sure this said UCSF ranked-to-match earlier?
No it said Stanford. That troll (anonymous gopher) changed it to other things like UCSF and BU and I kept changing it back. I'm the OP.
This same troll has been doing that for weeks. He changed one of my posts from "UCSF" to "Kentucky" a few weeks ago.
A user claimed that he/she received a RTM call from Stanford. You can choose to believe it or not believe it. OP will refrain from commenting further due to vicious attacks from the first time it was posted.
Man forget about Stanford RTM call, i didn't even get a "any lingering questions" call people are saying they do
^ someone is deleting all the comments that were left on this (probably going along with trying to make people look bad intentionally).
If Mods can restore the comments, that'd be good.
Comments that are deleted seem to be deleted for good.. I'm not sure how this person is deleting the comments though as even the users w/ access don't have this function. If anyone has ideas, please chime in.
You don't need access to delete comments. If a comment is pending approval, you can edit, resolve, or delete it.
Can anyone delete (not resolve) my test comment? When you resolve, there's still a history of the comment having been there in the comment history.
Now the option to delete and resolve are gone...maybe it's because you're posting as someone who is signed in? It may be different when anonymous posters post. I can delete the anonymous comment below but not the comment from Anoni moose.
Yeah you're right. I guess the moral of the story is to sign in to comment even if you don't have access.
This was the exact issue with the above posts. The troll kept changing the comments to ridiculous things because you could just edit and change the anonymous users posts.
^^Just seeing the Stanford stuff now. Did anyone else get a call from them? Not RTM call but a call for answering any questions?
Stanford has NOT made RTM calls. Straight from the PD.
But have they made calls for questions?
I have not been a part of the above conversations at all, but I will say I did get a call which was simply a check-in for questions, but it was not a RTM call. I honestly wouldn't believe the above RTM stuff because people have been posting fake stuff about Stanford all cycle (including fake interview invites), so I suspect this is no different. For what it's worth, the above conversation started well before I got a check-in call, so I think that potentially makes it seem more likely to be fake.
So is your PD confirming the RTM call?
Also, to be clear because this situation was/is very confusing. I was the OP of the right side column only where the troll was changing everything. I am NOT the OP (I think it was "derm applicant" or something like that) who first wrote about the RTM call on the left side (perhaps my use of "OP" made things more confusing). I came in in support of him/her honestly, but I don't think it was clear that there were two of us contributing to the conversation...
No. I am not confirming the RTM call. I asked my PD about it and she asked where I had heard about it but neither confirmed nor denied it. On the spreadsheet, I saw a user post about the RTM, get trolled, and then respond with some disparaging comments about middle America, and I wanted to warn him/her before my PD or someone recognizes who he/she was. But sorry. I still don't know whether or not RTM calls went out.
Lol, repeating/rehashing what the OP(s?) said on here isn't really making them look good if the PDs were to see this now. Prob should delete this conversation too if previous stuff was too lol
Yes, please delete this section. I was trying to explain the situation to OP and whoever just posted asking to clarify, but please delete this now that it's all been settled.
It doesn't matter if this all stays here. The person who posted all the Stanford stuff probably wasn't even someone who interviewed at Stanford since it was untrue! Everyone here is a troll.
Nope, pretty sure it was a douchebag who wanted to brag about his/her RTM call.
Trying to be malicious to these OPs for posting about a call isn't helpful. Even if what they posted is true, Stanford made many calls and it's hard to know who wrote this, so leaving all this won't "trace" things to anyone. Plus, it's still very possible that some random person posted all this and not an interviewee
Why are positive comments about NYU and Stanford being deleted?
dont act dumb. people are gunners. shit is getting changed in an attempt to manipulate people. It has happened every year and it is hapening again this year. get over it. dont make decisions based on those comments. it is out of our control.
Someone is also deleting positive comments for UCSF and Northwestern...
anyone interview at stanford and did NOT get any call from them?|
Nothing here..
at least i'm not the only one lol
I've asked a couple of other people and most have not gotten a call! I think we're definitely in the majority (for better or worse)|
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
Apparently we're not allowed to post interview invites from top programs on this spreadsheet (see Yale, UCSF)
