Just thought it was a good program. I'm from a med school in Illinois so I thought I could get some Midwest love.

RTM calls started today!

#119Mar 23

From where?

Mar 23

Also curious as most programs have said they do not do this x2 \| RTM calls x2 (from a top 10 program) - previous spreadsheets show what programs have done RTM calls in the past (., ., ., Henry Ford, BU, etc) - Was it ., . or .?

Yale is also top 10 and outright told us at the interview that they would be making RTM calls.

I didn't interview at Iowa, but my friend said he got a call from them. Didnt seem like a RTM, just a hey, we think you would be a great fit, any questions? kind of call.

Mar 23

So you think Iowa called all of their interviewees and said "we think you'd be a great fit"? Or what exactly constitutes a RTM call? Do they have to explicitly say you are ranked to match?

. will make calls This year but as far as I can tell they haven't started

I think Iowa called everyone. Why do you think this?

After the most recent Iowa deletion, I did some detective work, and found that Iowa-deleting-DBruh is NOT the same as spreadsheet owner DBruh, as I think the real DBruh had hypothesized. In the version history, the user “D Bruh” implicated in these deletions shows up in a different color compared to the “D Bruh” who posts sane comments and was the only one of the two posting months ago (for me, it’s dark gray blue vs turquoise). The problem is that we can’t tell who the fake DBruh is. Only the name is visible in version history, not email address, so not sure we can get rid of them. Anyway, all this is to say, lighten up on the mods. If the FBI is reading this, give me a job. x2 |

#41Mar 23

Ohhhh snap!! The real D Bruh can definitaly get rid of him/her by looking through the people he accepted and deleting

D: I told you guys! I have no way of "banning" this other person as far as I know unfortunately.

Awesome, glad you deleted this again... but does anyone know if Iowa has sent anyone a RTM notice?

#40Mar 23

| No, they have not.

Dont know whay this keeps getting deleted. I am an external, I got a call from Iowa. To whoever is "internal;" and acting like they know how it is... just because you didnt get a call does not mean they didnt make calls.... dont lie to yourself and others to make yourself feel better.

I got an encouraging call from Iowa but they did not specfically say I was RTM

Mar 23

I did receive a call from Iowa that explicitly used the words ranked to match.

^ wow, A+ detective work! I pasted the most recent comments about Iowa to the left one last time... hopefully the fake D Bruh gets banned and can't delete.
