Lol I’m sure it’s real but this is a borderline troll post. What other answers did you expect besides complements? 😂Can someone give me their input on my chances of matching?

Lol I guess it was a troll post, his account was deleted... Why do people want to create unnecessary stress?Lol I’m sure it’s real but this is a borderline troll post. What other answers did you expect besides complements? 😂
Have you already created one? or do you want me to create one?Lets do it, I would also like to participate!
Go ahead, man. Start a group and the rest will join.Have you already created one? or do you want me to create one?
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, the H1b requirement and community-based residency program are major limiting factors. I've heard people with much stronger research backgrounds did not get any interviews (presumably) because of H1b, but at the same time someone with an appears-to-be weaker package got 10+ IVs and matched to a good program last year. Very confusing... Anyways, guess I will find out
Hey everybody! First time applying and hoping to get an idea to set realistic expectations for myself.
Med School: US-IMG (Caribbean)
Residency: Fourth year chief resident at home institute - mid-tier University program
Step 1: 245
Step 2 CK: 255
Step 2 CS: Pass (first attempt)
Step 3: 233
Research: 6 publications (2 original research, 4 case reports), 1 accepted original article, 3 more submitted, 2 book chapters, 20 posters (14 DDW and ACG and the others local ACP, etc)
Others: Won a couple of awards during residency and was on multiple committees (no clue how much this really matters)
Good luck to everybody!!
I knew coming into residency that I wanted to do a chief year. I also knew coming in that being a Caribbean grad would be an uphill battle so figured doing a chief year would help there as well.Just curious why didn’t you apply last year? Your app looks pretty good…
Anyone else mildly freaking out?
2. 1 from Mayo Clinic Rochester and 1 from UC DavisAny rejections went out yet?

What do you mean by "with little doubts for getting int invites"? Typically home programs interview their own out of courtesy if nothing else. Also its still very early in the cycle, things are starting to trickle in bit more now, but still only about ~10% of programs have release invites. Maintain faith.Hope everybody is doing fine. I am starting to feel a little nervous from today....
More confusing when your app has been evaluated by your own prog director, chiefs, attendings with little doubts for getting int invites.
Meaning, after reviewing my app (which they do for all the residents ) feedback was I should expect a decent number of interviews.What do you mean by "with little doubts for getting int invites"?

Same here, a lot of us are in the same boat. What I'm thinking is that programs are filtering out the top top applicants with best schools, highest step scores first and see if those are quality applicants offering them interviews first. Then I think they will start to look at normal applicants after that.. This is based off the excel sheet under "applicants" who have received interviews thus farMeaning, after reviewing my app (which they do for all the residents ) feedback was I should expect a decent number of interviews.
Ah, got it. I took your original post to mean you received negative feedback from your program regarding even getting an interview invite there. I am not sure what the rhyme or reason to interview order is, or if there even is one. What Central Line Expert said sounds plausible. Alternatively, who knows if programs are trying to be more concientous in who they interview virtually to put the genie back in the bottle regarding nuclear option application of everyone applying everywhere because interview barriers are so low now that things are virtual and they prefer to have a short list of candidates, meaning when you do get an interview perhaps its more meaningful. Again, that is purely speculation and I have truly no insider knowledge there.Meaning, after reviewing my app (which they do for all the residents ) feedback was I should expect a decent number of interviews.

More senior posters like @ChessMaster3000 , @ShiShiMD, @gutonc and @Scope guy may have more experienced view of such things, although they have been more notably silent (less active as of late)
Does anyone have insight into the amount of candidates programs interview? 5-10 per position?
I believe UC Davis sent out rejections as well if you applied there. Otherwise, it appears to be more of a calm hump day today, in either direction.So… medpeds here.
A bit worried here.
Only one program got back to me (rejection), Mayo Rochester.
Has anyone gotten any more?
Consider yourself lucky buddy 😂I only have 1 interview. Am I doomed?
100% better than zero.I only have 1 interview. Am I doomed?
I’m just joking around but I think a lot of people are sitting at zero interviews right now.Why?
