These poll results are a little skewed all. Don't think that everyone has more than 10 interviews!

 

[docofoddi]

you should also have a poll for how many programs applied to which would account for the skew in the above results

I suppose I should add that I applied to 40 programs (with my lackluster board scores), mostly community, and have 11 interviews. I knew I had to apply far and wide.

 

[suguha]

Applied to 25 programs so far. Have heard back from 10. I'm already tired and have yet to start the interviewing trail .

 

[PlayDoc]

I applied to 40 programs - community and 1st tier - have 17 interview offers thus far...

Ok, y'all are freaking me out because I applied to 45 places and only have 6 interviews so far.

 

[filter07]

I applied to around 30 programs, concentrated in the West Coast. I have 6 interviews, 4 actual and 2 automatic that I expect to receive later. I submitted my application about two weeks after 9/1 and did not get my final LOR in until last week.

[Skialta]

I applied to45 programs and have 12 interviews, mostly academic and a few hybrid programs.

 

[THE instiGATOR]

After not matching last year, I didn't know how programs would view me. So, I applied to ... drumroll please ... 54 programs !! What was I thinking?!? I've had 16 interview offers and only one rejection. I only have 3 weeks during which to interview, so I'm going to have to really play this game smart so I am not left empty handed again. Still wondering what is taking the other 37 programs so long.

Good luck everyone!

 

[benslrp]

10 interviews, 1 wait list for interview, 1 rejection thus far

Good luck this year THE instiGATOR.
