"Dear program director, thank you for offering me an oppurtunity to interview for a residency position. Unfortunatly, due to a scheduling conflict I will be unable to attend."
I figured I'd start a thread comparing # of interview invites to # of interviews that we can actually schedule along with a few other things. So, here are my stats as of right now:
applications- 54
Invites - 23
rejections - 13
still waiting on the rest
interviews currently scheduled: 11 (yup, that's <50%, how much does this suck!!! Why does everybody want to interview on 12/10 and 12/17?)
So, I've had to decline or cancel more then 1/2 of my interview offers, which is slightly less maddening than checking my email 10 times a day waiting to hear from yet another program that will either reject me or offer me an interview on January 10th. But I'm not bitter. How is everybody else doing?
