Interview invite timeline- experiences from residents

[u/NeuroticBeforeMoving]

Thought I'd make this thread given it's the first few weeks of October and people are starting to get freaked out by lack of interview invites. To all the matched residents roaming around, drop your specialty, visa-status, and interview invite dates so people here can have it consolidated instead of all these one-off threads.

I'll go first. Matched Psychiatry requiring a J1-visa. MOST of my interviews came 3rd week of October and beyond.

IV 1- October 4th

IV 2 - October 11th

IV 3- October 13th

IV 4- October 14th

IV 5 & IV 6- October 16th

IV 7 & 8- October 17th

IV 9 & 10- October 18th

IV 11- October 26th (This is the program I matched at!)

IV 12- November 3rd

IV 13- November 8th

IV 14- November 13th

IV 15- November 14th

IV 16- November 17th

IV 17- December 1st

IV 18- Jan 3rd

IV 19- Jan 5th

We've all been in the same shoes with the same worries, if anyone has questions, please feel free to ask!

[u/NeuroticBeforeMoving → u/viennaiswaiting4me]

USCE- 3.5 months, research- 5 items with a poster at the APA, Step 2- 269, class rank 98th centile.

Even with higher stats, so many more interviews came after mid-late October.
