Question about matching in a specific place?.
I'm interested in ENT, and although I?m still a year away from the application process, I?ve been thinking a lot about the match. While I know matching anywhere in ENT is what anyone generally aims for, I am particularly keen on a certain program - as I think it has one of the best mixes of academics/research time/load in addition to being in a great place (Oregon), which would be good for my family over the next 5+ years.
My question is, how hard is it to match at a specific place? I hear that many people match in their top 2-3 choices, but are these 2-3 from those they interviewed at or from the initial applications?
With many places interviewing 20-30 people per slot, I can imagine that isolating one particular place is going to be extremely difficult, but I'm interested in other peoples experiences.
Additionally, I wonder if it would be too forward to tell the program how keen you are on them? Any thoughts?
