It's really happening. We are all applied for residency. And we're already hearing back for interviews.
Mav has applied to 28 programs. We have been requested to interview at 12 of them and we're on the waiting list for another. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. We've heard back from nearly half of the programs we applied to. Rumor is from a lot of people in this residency that we'd be lucky to hear from a quarter of them. I think we're doing good.
Does anyone else say 'we' when it comes down to this whole medical career thing? Sometimes I found myself thinking it's really weird that I say 'we.' I'm not the actual one in medical school you know. But you know what, I have been with Mav since his second year of undergrad. This is a 'we' effort for us.
Back to the residency thing. I'm super excited. I'm just curious of y'all. How many have residencies have you applied to? Have you heard back from some? Are you going to travel with your spouse to the interviews? I wish everyone the best of luck through this year's interviewing season.
Hello! I'm Kandice.... hubby is also MS4 applying to General Surgery! We applied to 44 programs and have had offers from 22 but only accepted 15. And I def. use "we" when talking about it. We have a few that I'll be traveling to with him.... ones that he really likes and wants me to see the city at :) Good luck!!
