Hi everyone! I wanted to chime in to maybe give some ease to any anxiety and still keep hope for some of you! I received a call yesterday from both the ED and 5West, but I officially decided today that I will be accepting the ED offer! If anyone is waiting to hear from 5West, just hang tight! From my understanding, if someone declines the offer they will give someone else the spot so don't lose hope🥹 

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten an offer so far and to those waiting please don't lose hope! There's still a chance and hopefully you can get answers soon and your anxiety eased. Good luck to everyone 🩷

Thank you so much for sharing and congratulations! Do you think that all units had their calls given out yesterday? 

Did anyone happen to hear from cross training or CTICU? 🥲 My anxiety is literally through the roof

I am also waiting to hear back from cross train! So don't worry!

Do you know if they are done with ED and 5W calls?

Based on previous CHLA cohort threads it looks like they give applicants 48hrs to accept or deny their offers. If they decide to select an alternative candidate it's likely they'd do so this evening or tomorrow since that'd be 48hrs from when they sent out first round offers. Also, since someone on this thread mentioned they received a rejection email and their status updated accordingly, those who have not received a rejection email can possibly assume that if our status has not yet changed then we may still be in the running. *fingers crossed* 
 

Trying to find the silver lining and keep a glimmer of hope :) 

Just got a call from 5W! Do not lose hope!

has anyone heard from 4E? I saw one person did on here! I've been checking emails and statuses all day for something 😮

Do you know if they are done with ED and 5W calls?

From my understanding, I believe they are finished with calls unless someone declines an offer. Then they will contact other applicants who they had in mind as backup I think? I know ED accepted 4 applicants but I'm not sure how many 5W accepted!😅

Does anyone know if they're done with calls for PICU? My account status is still under review and I just want to move on from this, whether it's an acceptance or a rejection🥹
