This season seems to be going slower than usual. I wonder what's going on with programs.

I think they're screening more selectively now...with family med applicants, they probably review the applications more thoroughly than just basing selection on scores. I believe this is why it's taking longer.

Hey guys ...which program of LSU Shrevport did you get rejected? I applied to Munroe only but no word at all.

goodluck, lets hang in there !

There are silent rejections.

@u_mad_bro

Yeah that makes sense. Also somebody on one of the other threads said that they emailed a PD and they said they were having problems with ERAS so they started reviewing apps later than usual. In either case let's hope we start hearing from more programs soon.

@matchsx2015--I heard the same from a PC. Eras issues probably added to the delay but ppl are getting interviews little by little so there's a chance that they will be sending more throughout the rest of this month and November.

Got my first interview! Prefer not to say, will only say it's in the Midwest. Thank u God.
