neuroguru, Hearsay about program offering prematch, Wat programs are those?
Hey guys...
I am relatively new to this forum...
I am done with couple of interviews...recently I interviewed at Penn state Hershey..
following is the reply I got from PD after interview...
Dear XXX,
I am glad you enjoyed your interview for the Neurology residency at Penn State
Hershey. We all enjoyed meeting you. I hope you found your visit
informative. Based on your application and faculty interviews, we consider
you to be a strong candidate for our residency program. Please feel free to
contact me if you feel there is anything I can do to encourage your interest
in our program.
Sincerely,
XXXXX
Director, Neurology Residency Program
So I was wondering that...is it a common reply or should I consider that they really liked me...
thanks
Neuro1111, This is a pretty strong feedback. Cong! Would you mind to share your credential? Thanks!
@Neuro1111 , this is standard nice reply. it means u are good , it does not necessarily mean they will rank u on top, remember , neuro positions are hardly 4-5/year. GL
@ lingz1022, smartneuro
Thanks guys for ur input....
my credentials - 99/99/cs-1st attempt, 2 months usce in neuro.
good luck !!
@ neuroguru, thanks for the reply.
so how was ur iv @ Utsw?
even i applied there, are they still sending out invitations?
how are the residents & PD?
do the PDs of big programs like utsw reply to thank you mails?/
Did anyone get New year greetings from Wayne state uni??? one of my friend got it but i hvnt got it....
@smartneuro, buddy, i am doing well, how are you doing? Hope your ivs are going well too. I interviewed with Methodist too, and they are a relatively nice program. In my opinion, they have their own positive and negative points. They seem very very strong in Neuromuscular (their Chariman), but lack in other areas, so depends on what you are looking for. Their residents seemed very friendly and everyone I met on the interview day was very nice. If there are any specific questions, I would be willing to find out for you if I don't know them.
@nerdman, I don't know particular programs (or I would happily share with you) but I did hear people mentioning that they knew someone who got offered prematch.
@neuro1111, it seems a positive reply, but at the same time, it's hard to know if they are sending this to everyone or only to a select few. The best advice that I have heard is rank programs on how YOU would like to go to and that's what I will follow (my gut feeling).
@superdoc, my iv at Utsw went well I think, but they seem to attract some of the best and brightest people, so hard to say. To me they seemed a very very strong program and the PD and the faculty were quite nice and they have very strong pathology in Parkland hospital. I hope you get an iv there. I'm not sure if they are still sending invites or not.
@rkmehta, sorry didn't iv there, so hopefully someone else will answer that for you.
thanks neuroguru.
all the best for the rest of ur ivs.
is it true that the PDs of big programs like utsw, umdnj dont reply to thank you mails?
