I grew up with two physically and verbally aggressive older brothers. I can take abuse. Just cause I can be hard doesn’t mean I want to.

I’m not saying we’re all special snowflakes and everyone’s gonna match cause that’s clearly not true - the numbers don’t add up for that. I’m also not saying let’s sing kumbaya and talk about our feelings at the intern retreat campfire cause that’s actually nauseating to me. But you don’t have to be an ass. It’s 2019 dude. Get help working out your issues.

“intern retreat campfire” was my favorite part of camp

Hi

I matched at a top 10 program that I didn’t Sub-I at

I didn’t have any interviews at the end of September

You’re a fourth year med student. Stop giving advice that isn’t true.

Man, a lot of your class really isn’t looking great on these forums so far, what with all the whining and infighting going on plus BS like this.

“Top 10 program” in my mind

All is takes, and all I needed, was a senior well-known mentor making a call. I would say > 15 interviews is not critical

“all I needed, was a senior well-known mentor making a call.” - without that phone call you would’ve been toasted if no interviews by end of September

Everyone, please, consider this. This thread is going out of control.

The problem is, I think people will be much less likely to share an interview invite if they are not anonymous. We will have to deal with the garbage if it means we have a better glimpse of when interview invites go out.

I think one well-placed IP ban for the insecure malcontent in this thread trying to his best to be an absolute ass for no reason should be enough to clean this up considerably.

Flag the posts and I'll warn that individual or ban the IP if it continues.

Let's start a Google Spreadsheet because this thread is not working out. We're NSGY, we can all use our time more efficiently especially since it's the last time we're gonna be this free.
