Number of Interviews to Attend?

[Guest]

I’m interviewing for 57 intern positions over 27 institutions. Position number matters more.

The thing is that from 11-15 interviews 46 people matched and only 1 did not, essentially a 98% match rate. That linear plot is not always the best representation because of the 5 people (out of ~120) with >15 interviews that didn’t match.

Charting outcomes from last year says your full of shit. There were only 5 people total who didn't match with that many interviews. Also the ratio of matched:unmatched doesn't change once you pass 11 interviews. Those last 5 were probably terrible at interviews

If you really feel comfortable doing 11 interviews go for it.  When you attend programs that are interviewing 40-50 for 1 spot (there are several) I would strongly reconsider.

Right, but at the end of the day each applicant only gets to rank one program as their #1 , there is a fairly high match rate overall (~80+%), with many matching at their 1st choice or at least within their top 5, so many of those 40-50 will match elsewhere. Statistically, doing more than 11 interviews didn't appear to increase the odds of matching at all. Not arguing for a hard cap on interviews at 11, but 30+ is excessive and unnecessary. At that point you're just wasting your (and the programs) time and money

If you look at last year's charting outcomes ranking 11 vs 20 increases your chance of matching from 75% to 95%. So i'd definitely argue for doing more than 11. But if you do 17 vs 20 it's an increase from ~91% to 95%, so at that point it doesn't matter.

Lol no. 

As the poster above pointed out, the graph is bullshit so look at the actual numbers ( in chart ns2). 1/46 not matched from 11-15 vs 5/123 from 16+ ranks. Maybe there is some other influence from people ranking every program even one's they didn't interview at or something, but still a 45/46 match rate shows that after 11 your odds are about as high as they will get.

More importantly anyone claiming they know a large group (plenty) of unmatched individuals with more than 17 interviews is full of shit.
