Any idea???

How many interviews should one have to be confident that he/she will match??

10 interviews??

15 interviews??

Does anyone of you know any body who had to scramble after interviewing with 15 programs??

I know some who had to go through the scramable after interviewing with 10 programs.

Has this happened with 15 interviews?? 20 interviews??

Is there anywhere where I can get match statstics with number of interviews taken in to consideration??

the maximum ive heard is going for 9 and not matching. but honestly all the statistics in the world will not confirm anything. ive also heard of people only getting 1 interview and getting the very competitive job! luck and good CV!

if the programs like you they will rank you, and they have no idea how many interviews you have so it will not affect anyone's decision.

so bottom line is, amount of interviews and jobs are mutually exclusive variables. only luck and good interviewing skills will get you the job! smiling face

no magic number sad
