It's time a thread was started to address the specific topic of post-interview "activity" and what different programs are known to do. Which programs really "want" to get a thank-you letter? Whic programs need you to come for a second-look in order for you to match there? Which programs don't care? Which send letters? Who makes calls? etc...

Facts are good. Rumors are fine. Let's hear it all.

UVA doesn't have their 6 year spot out of the match. They just match everyone and let the residents decide who wants to do 5 and who wants 6. I got a call from their chair but it wasn't an outside of the match offer.

oh... I'm not sure about top 8... you might be right. it could be top 15 or so. I don't think it matters too much, though. top 20 might be pushing it, especially coming from a program like UPenn.

Are you sure that a call from penn means you are in the top 8-10 (or is more like top 15-20). I know a few people who got a call from the chair.

I also got the invite from Penn for the alumni dinner. I didn't do any fancy investigative work, but I did get a call from the Chairman which I'm putting more money on.

If you got a call, you are probably top 8-10. I wouldn't focus too much on email invite.

I also got a call from UCSF, but no "love letters" from other west coast programs.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but I got the Penn-San Diego e-mail and checked it with the original interview invite and they sent it to exactly the same people in order minus like 3 names who probably cancelled. Either my session has all the best candidates that they interviewed or it means nothing. I'm going with number 2. So looks like I'm in their top 70, Philly here I come!

c'mon guys...if Penn is sending out an email to their formal. Annual. PENN. Ortho. Alumni. Dinner at this years AAOS, I think it is common sense to assume that they are doing so for recruiting purposes. Do you honestly believe they are sending that type of invite to people that are a longshot to match at their program. I know everyone wants to be "the glass half empty guy" during this process because you honestly do have to take everything with a grain of salt...but I think you can rest assured, that if you received that email you are considered to be competitive to match at Penn.

I got that email as well (with 19 people on it) but my interview invite had 80-90 names on it. The smaller invite batches probably went out a bit later in the season. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I've got a feeling that they may have sent the san diego letter to people they've ranked. re: the calls to people not listed...maybe they were for the 6 year spots?
