While UF does traditionally contact some applicants I was not contacted last year and matched there. I think only one of my fellow interns was contacted. So if you dont hear from them it doesnt mean your not going to match.

Haven't heard of anybody being contacted, but I think the faculty rank meeting was just this past week so I'm guessing they're either in the process of contacting people or have already done so.

Has anyone heard back from University of Wisconsin Madison yet concerning how they are ranked? If they have not sent out the info about where applicants are ranked, then I think they bulls**t interviewees about contacting top 5 and top 10. Comment?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Thanks

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

I haven't heard of anyone hearing from Penn.
