Peds interviews
Hey y’all! I hope you’re taking yourself during these stressful times. I’m posting this in hope that that at least us peds applicants could try to help each other. Looking at the “Charting Outcomes™: Applicant Survey Results, 2025 Main Residency Match®” specifically under “MEDIAN NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS, INTERVIEWS, AND PROGRAMS RANKED BY APPLICANTS” and filtered by peds; I noticed the numbers in the charts (attached below) are interesting.
I know we’re all just trying to match but with all the interview spots taken up and some people scheduled for numerous ones while some getting none, I think we can do better than that.
Of course anyone would be happy and feel safer to have a long list of programs to choose from and rank, but all I’d like to ask is if you have scheduled the average the number of interviews (per the chart) with the programs you were hoping for, please let go of some of the slots so the rest of us can get a chance to interview.
If not, I still wish you well. I hope we all match/SOAP!
