I don't have any advice, but I also applied for the October 2016 residency and have an interview on July 13.

I graduate in August too and I have an interview on July 11th for the critical care track. Best of luck!

I had my interview yesterday and it was probably the most intense interview I have had. They didn't ask the typical behavioral questions.

Oh wow. That intense? I'm nervous now. I'm on my way up there from San Antonio. My interview is in the morning.

cmyrha77 · Jul 12, 2016

Oh SORRY! I didn't mean to make you nervous. What I meant by intense is that they just don't ask the typical interview questions like "whats your strength/weakness" and as far as behavioral questions they were also a lot different than questions that I have been asked at other interviews. They weren't super hard or anything I just definitely had to come up with answers on the spot because some of the scenarios I was planning on using didn't really fit the question. If that makes any sense. But honestly don't let what I said scare you! Just take your time answering and try your best!

Has anyone been offered a position yet?

Hi everyone! I just came across this thread; I had interviewed for the Med Surg/ Subspecialty track on 7/11, and received a phone call with an offer for a spot in the residency yesterday at around 2PM EST, followed by an email containing salary & benefits information. So, if you haven't heard yet hang tight because calls are going out! Good luck!!

cmyrha77 · Jul 19, 2016

I received a call exactly around the same time and day with an offer into the Med Surg track too!! Congratulations!

Tbellx12 · Jul 19, 2016

@Cmyrha77, congrats to you too. I was shocked at how quickly the phone call came, and at how little time they give to make your decision! This is a big deal for me, as I am deliberating whether to relocate from the northeast to Fort Worth for the position. :nailbiting:

@Tbellx12 Yea I actually kinda new that they were going to call either Monday or Tuesday if you got it because I was reading on previous other treads on the website and that's what people from other cohorts had said! I was a nervous wreck until I received the phone call lol. How long did they give you to decide? I told them yes right away because this has been my dream job!
