carmsinoid Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 As we're heading into the last day of hearing back about interviews tomorrow, I thought this might be a good time to create a spreadsheet for this year with how many weeks we did in a specialty, our home/school region and where we get interviews. I know the spreadsheet from last year was helpful for me in getting an idea of what to expect with no away electives, and next year's class will be in the same position as us!

Egg_McMuffin Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Do programs normally let you know if their interview is open vs closed file? FM specifically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claypot Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Anyone else surprised and disappointed with how their IM application panned out?

Every elective was in IM and still got much less interviews than I expected, feeling pretty dejected You're not alone. Same boat for me. I even took advice from people around me and ditched my parallel plan to do my electives only in IM. Unfortunately, many of the program descriptions this year seem to imply that they don't care as much about your electives because of COVID. Perhaps there have been a lot more applications this year. Queen's email to rejected applicants mentions that they got 900+ applications, and their program description says their 5-year average for applications was 400-600 applications, a far cry from 900.

SkepticalStudent Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Is it super bad form to ask the program why you weren't offered an interview? (I'm just bummed that my absolute top choice rejected me </3 and was literally the only program to reject me pre-interview... Hurts pretty good.)

nachos604 Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Does anyone know when programs have to update the waitlist status. Is there a specific date or can it be anytime up until the interview date? I am currently on 3 waitlists for IMG gen surg and ortho. Super disappointing since I highly doubt any IMG will give up an interview for a surgical position, but I am still keeping the hope alive! Thanks!

Med94 Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 My CaRMS online shows that I wasn't selected for an interview, but I just received an email from the program with the interview date and time ?! Any idea on how to act? Should I mention this to the program. I'm afraid they'll cancel the interview LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most programs require applicants to confirm by mid next week. Hopefully you'll get an update by then. Fingers crossed!!

Also it looks that there is unseen high volume of applicants this year to IM best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
