Just keep hanging in! A lot of the research-heavy programs have not sent out invites yet. You'll get loadz of love soon!

I am sure programs will send out second round of invites! Don't get disheartened!

^same boat.  On the plus side, only 1 of 25 PhDs didn't match last year.

If you crunch the numbers here (https://public.tableau.com/profile/natio...ngOutcomes)

From 2014 to 2018, 95 PhDs applied neurosurgery, 21 didn't match. That's 22% unmatched PhDs over 5 years. 

Compared to 325/975 unmatched non-PhDs = 33%.

PhD helps but not that much. Although if you screen through the programs, PhDs tend to end up at upper-tier programs, so there's some truth that mid and lower-tier programs probably aren't even considering us.
