Hi all,

Creds first : 94/80/passed, writing Step 2 in Dec, need H1.

I applied to 53 IM programs, and so far, have received 2 IV offers and 4 rejections. I really need to apply leave from work for the interviews soon (not to mention book flights/accomadation/etc)

When should I start getting worried that i haven't heard back from so many programs i.e. when do most programs respond by?

would really appreciate any advice in this regard.

did u mean step 3 in December???
to answer your Q...though i cannot vouch for it, apparently, there does'nt seem to be any crescendo-decrescendo pattern..atleast as far as my interviews are concerned..though mine are a mix of community and university programs, lately it seems that the University Programs are more becoming more active..but many others have had different patterns of response..depends on which Programs u applied to also..
if u see in the forums that u have not heard from Programs that have either invited or rejected others..it is unlikely that u will hear from them now....
if u have to apply for leave early..i would suggest u take it for 1st 2 weeks of Jan..since many Programs dont interview during Christmas..

thanx for the advice.
Already have 2 interviews in Dec, so guess will have to take some time off in Jan as well.
