rmorelan Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 what are peoples thoughts on the competitiveness of radiology this year? going in i expected it to be lower than last year but now im not so sure... all speculation but I heard that there were quite a few more than normal from several large centres. I thought as a result it might be a more competitive somewhat than last year. Who knows of course though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargaze Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I know many people at my school have 10+ interviews for rads, is that a common pattern across Canada? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderpig Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 all speculation but I heard that there were quite a few more than normal from several large centres. I thought as a result it might be a more competitive somewhat than last year. Who knows of course though That's what I thought as well. Even while talking to the main contacts for scheduling interviews, they seemed to give the impression that there were an increased number of people overall this year. So I think that is the case. However, a resident recently commented that he heard there were fewer applicants this year than normal. Not sure where he heard it from, and if from a med student, then that's not reliable anyway.

Stargaze Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 yeah we probably do. Also, from a very reliable source, the # of applicants to my home program has increased but the same # of invites went out. you must have some great applicants at your school, not the case at all at mine the number of applicants fluctuate from year to year, this year is one of the lower # years (reliable source, but take it as you like I guess), but I doubt the number of quality applicants change, which is what matters at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
