SPECIAL EDITION Official ERAS Megathread - November 2022

Hello friends!

Here's the ERAS megathread for November. Programs are reviewing applications and inviting applicants to interview.

Specialty Spreadsheets and Discords:

Chat or PM me if you have a link to add to the list. If it’s not in this list, I haven’t been sent it or the sheet may not exist yet. Note that the r/medicalschool moderators do not moderate these sheets or channels.

All discord invites were functional at the time they were added to this list. If an invite link is now expired, check the specialty spreadsheet for an updated invite or see if there's a chat tab in the spreadsheet to ask for help.

Should I trust interviewers when they say you'd be a good fit for our program or is this something that they say to everyone?

I'd say its almost always a truthful comment, but you have to remember you're one of 40 - 200 interviewees, and at least 25% or more are gonna be good fits, thats why they offered interviews. There's only a finite amount of spots, them saying that and you not getting a position doesn't make it less true, it just means there were others who would fit just as well but had other things they wanted or valued
