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.

Just got a vague letter from Utah. Thinking about heading out west, but not sure if this is a standard letter they send everyone or if it indicates that I'm in the 'top 10' (as noted on earlier response on this thread). Anybody get a letter that was more specific, or anyone not get a letter?

Yeah...assumed they sent one to everybody but didn't know a lot of the other applicants so wanted to check.

Sounds like I'm probably in their top 30...

i got the email and was wondering the same thing. Counted 19 people on the email list and they were basically the same people on the original interview invite list. I dont think it's much.

U of Rochester was a...we want to "reinforce" how nice it was to meet you and how the program would be a good fit. Not sure if this is generic. Nothing about ranking or matching in a certain percentile.

They sent 3 batches of invites. My batch had about 23 people. 19/23......not that encouraging. I also know people who definately got called and were not on the email list.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.
