received any interview invitation.

“Dr. Freedman: When is the best time to schedule my interviews for
residency?”
I have received this question numerous times even though interview season
hasn’t even begun! There is no perfect answer to this question and, if you
ask 10 people, you will receive 10 different responses. There is one article
in the literature that shows no correlation between interview date and rank
position: Click Here to read the article.
If you have the luxury of choice, schedule one or two “safety program”
interviews early in the season. It is my personal opinion to save the best
for last. I always found it refreshing, especially at the end of a long
interview season, to have a terrific applicant who was a pleasure to meet
and interview. When we concluded our season and ranked applicants, it was
easier to remember those applicants who interviewed later in the season and
I was often “fuzzy” about applicants who interviewed in the middle of the
season.
The bottom line: there is no magic formula here. Stay in touch with programs
(especially those in which you are interested) so they don’t forget you.
Don’t “can” or memorize responses for your interviews and do whatever you
can to stay energetic throughout the season. |
