Why do I have a hard time believing your post?! Not that it matters what I think. No other person has posted (maybe ever posted) this from HSS.

HSS sends these every year, if you look back in the threads from the last few years people refer to this letter often.

I got the same letter from HSS. It was not worded much nicer than that...

Received a call from a resident at Beaumont last week. Not sure exactly what it means. Anyone else get this?

Anyone here from UMASS at all? Particularly wondering about their 2 research spots outside the match. Does anyone know if they have been offered/filled?

Harvard doesn't call, and requests that applicants not contact them.

I haven't heard of anyone hearing from Penn.

Thanks for the post. Did you receive this call this past weekend or today? Or was this a call you received weeks ago?

Thanks

From looking at past years' posts, it seems like this year not a lot of programs are contacting people. Is it because people are not posting?

My gut feeling is that people are realizing that adding that to the process is not entirely helpful, and has led to some bad sentiments amongst the applicants. Personally not having matched and having received those phone calls, don't think that I was the least bit ticked having someone say to me that I was a shoe-in..and then not match.

It could also be that the process is more competitive this year and program directors are getting more uppity about this??

Also, perhaps the whole haiti incident sent a bunch of attendings south, and they haven't had a chance to call yet.

Plus, there's still two weeks for them to decide. I haven't even logged into the nrmp's website yet lol.

nah, applicants are just keeping their cards close to vest this year. For instance, George Washington openly admitted on interview day that they would be contacting their top guys and yet we still have no word on this forum. People are scared that if they post their supposed private messages that the program will find out and not like them anymore.

In any case, the vast majority of programs settled their lists weeks, if not months, ago. I doubt any program would wait until the final week notify their top guys, so I wouldn't hold my breath for any more post-interview communications.

seriously? you interviewed at Case, Penn, and Harvard and your orthogate name is "orthopleasematch"?

Don't worry so much, pretty sure you'll be just fine.

well, I made the name before interview invitations were sent out. When I was at GW, I wasn't aware that they contacted their top guys. I guess they do and chances are those couple of people don't post on here.
