I don't think there was a thread for this year yet (and this one may be somewhat early), but has anyone been contacted by any programs they've interviewed at so far?

I got a "thank you for interviewing" letter from Mayo Clinic. It seems relatively generic. Did everyone else get this?

Iowa - Thank you email from Dr. Buckwalter. Sent through ERAS. Pretty sure it was to all who interviewed.

Penn State - ditto above from Dr. Black.

Give it a little more time. I got the same letter just two days ago, and while it is a nice sentiment (first program with which I've interviewed to make such a gesture), it doesn't say anything that would lead me to believe that recipients of the letter are "in".

The Mayo letter means nothing as to your status of being "ranked to match." If you are ranked within their top 12, you will receive a personal phone call. I don't know if more than one person makes the call, but I received my call from the assistant program director.

In regards to Iowa, if you are ranked within their top 6, you will receive a personal call(s) from Dr. Buckwalter.

I don't remember the exact dates of when I received these calls, but I remember Iowa was earlier than Mayo. There are also other programs that make personal calls, and some are as late as the Monday immediately prior to Match Day.

I assume you mean you received a call from Mayo during last application cycle right?

I rotated at Mayo and Dr Hanssen told me there will be no phone calls this year.

I wouldn't take much stock in the post interview communication.. It can be a bunch of hooey, if that's even a word.

Any more news trickling out? By this time last year there had been a lot more contact it feels like. Whatever it eventually means, some contact is nice to bridge the painful wait between now and match day.

Back in mid-January, I got a somewhat personalized email from PD of SUNY upstate. Did not give any indication of ranking. Haven't heard whether other people received this or not. They were done interviewing at the time.

Wash U is going to send out an email letting applicants know what tier they are ranked in. They said it should go out sometime next week.

Anyone heard from Mayo, USF, or GW? I know Mayo and USF have made calls in the recent past and GW says at interview day that they will call their top 4.

I've heard that Mayo, Iowa, and Case have made calls all within the past week at some point to those that are "ranked to match"...

When you say "recent past" are you talking about this application cycle or last year? I thought Mayo said they weren't calling anyone this year? I know USF called people in past application cycles - would be interested to hear about this year...

When I said recent past I meant past application cycles, I too had heard Mayo wasn't calling this year but guess I was mistaken. Also interested if USF is calling this year.
