I know it's too soon, but let's help each other when we get there. Please, cancel the interviews you won't attend with the greatest time in advance possible, to give other people more opportunities to succeed. You can call me naive if you want to, but since we are in the same boat right now, and trying to help each other through it all, if I get at least one person to try and do it, I'm already happy for whoever is benefited by it.

I'll take the initiative. Canceling my U Tenn (Neuro) IV tomorrow. I have a clash on Dec 12. I was thinking that I'd cancel the IV in november but you are right arlete, when I know that have one more IV scheduled for the same day and I am pretty sure of my preference, i should cancel it as early as possible.

http://www.prep4usmle.com/comments.php?id=78011 Please see post number 9 and take a guess although it would be nice if the poster does share the names of the places invitations
A request to All Forum Members Please Please Make sure that when you are posting your interview places it doesnt violate any sort of Confidentiality issues (if any)
To DL Good luck Mate.

Hello guys. I have 21 IV calls so far, canceled 7 out of them.
I don't think I can tell you where I canceled, because of confidentiality issues. I'm sorry.
All I can say is that those are IM community programs.
Almost all of them replied to me with a confirmation for cancellation, so it's a done deed.
Thanks everybody for your wishes. I'm heading tomorrow to my first one. Pop my cherry!

I am not applying in IM.But I am wondering of the confidentiality thing DL is talking about. Is it something official confidentiality. I dont think there should be an issue about telling the name of the programs.

But it wouldn't help us a lot either, would it? I mean, knowing which program was... it may lead to false hopes, don't you think?
I'm glad just to know it's being done.
