Interview Inv 2017
(09-26-2017, 03:10 PM)Guest Wrote: Guys, royal fuck up on applying. For some reason the top 5 of my choices that I was gonna apply to... I didn't. IDK what happened when I was selecting all the programs when applying on the 14th, I apparently unselected those 5 and applied to everything else. I never really checked the list to make sure they were all on there, just assumed they would be since the list was long (65programs). FUCK ME. Well... I just applied to them. I really just shot myself in the foot.

So sorry to hear that dude. Fuck. Well your app is in, so that's good. It's before MSPEs went out, so it might mean nothing for some of them. Hope it goes well!

Ugh, I'm so genuinely sorry. The PD's I know said they rarely look at apps if it's not turned in the first day. Hopefully that's not the case for those 5. :/

How? Most of these programs don't even send out interviews until October.

Like it's an easy way to weed people out. Just repeating what I've been told.

I have also heard sometime similar, as in do everything in your power to have your app in on time. But I know of a few really competitive applicants who just couldn't get that 3rd letter in on time ( did a Sub-I with them) and were considered "complete" a few days ago. I mean programs won't really pass up on a strong candidate that easily, but definitely does hurt your chances.

I'm still waiting for a 4th letter. Thankfully, I have a decent number of invites.
