Same.  Apparently they interview about 80 people too.  Their step 1 cutoff is pretty high at 240 according to freida.

Freida cut offs are BS.  I know someone who matched with a sub 220 where the cut off is 250 on freida and they didn't do their subI at that institution

This whole process lacks so much transparency, it’s unreal.

So I'm guessing no news is good news.

The fact lost on most med students is that you are not applying to a school anymore and fairness has little to do with this process. You are applying for a job. The employer can decide to whom and for what reason to grant an interview just as most other corporations do. They only need to show their certification organizations that their hires meet at least the basic qualifications. After that the laws of supply and demand take over and in the case of NS residency, the supply is much higher than the demand.

What will probably shock you even more is that once you are hired by a hospital, your contract is for one year. They can choose to renew it or they can let you go after your one year is up. They can also fire you at any time for the reason of their own choosing. So think long and hard about your choice of specialty and also your ROL. 

Now to add insult to..... Once hired, you are one of the lowest paid professionals in the hospital. This means you are cheap labor and some programs take advantage of that and you end up doing a lot of scut work. So do your due diligence, pay attention, and talk to residents as you go on your interviews.

Your response makes it clear why you're a whiny little kid who didn't score well and is now crying. This is the truth, read it and believe it

You're proving my point. I doubt you scored higher than I did anyway lol.

Well, if it was their money I would 100% agree with you. Other than abiding some general regulations, they owe no explanation to anyone about it. However, resident salaries come from GME funds, from Medicare, tax payer money. Therefore they owe more than transparency in their process. But that is besides the point. As someone mentioned before, the rant belongs more on Reddit or something.

Did anyone get a confirmation of dates from Mayo 2nd round invites?
