what is the pub number that really impresses faculty and may overcome other weaknesses in the application?

It is individually variable but for me I would say hitting double digits is where my impression goes from above average to excellent and hitting 30 is exceptional.  I'd say 2 to 5 is average and 6 to 9 is above average. Like I said that's just me and I also read the titles of the papers and what journal they are in which can also change my opinion. 30 papers in the Indian journal of podiatry and neurosurgery does not outweigh 2 papers in science or nature obviously.
Are you an attending? You seem to have wonderful insight into the process

Confirmed

Did you hear back about your date?

No

Waitlisted for January over here

How quickly did you reply to the email? Or were you sent a waitlist invite from the start?

Am I the only one that finds this process to be ridiculous?

Third person here. Also replied in about 5 mins and got waitlisted for Jan. So looks like <5mins is the goal here (if it's truly first come first serve)

Did you reply to the email or send a separate email to the address in the body of the email. The seem to be the same person, but different email addresses. I responded within 2 minutes and have not heard back.

Same story here. Hope we didn't get the short end of the stick by essentially following the instructions

Edit, just heard back, confirmed for Jan
