Chat
This section captures the chat and discussion threads embedded in the spreadsheet. It includes queries, answers, links, and date-stamped updates. Notable items include:
- Discord channel access link: https://discord.ĀĀ/6EdYy9Sudw
- Several user-submitted updates and requests for section re-naming, new proĀrams, and formatting changes (e.g., adding a TY/Prelim tab, adding “Full ProĀrams” tab, splitting research publication fields, etc.).
- Various date-stamped discussions about time zones for interviews, waves vs. all-at-once scheduling, and the use of LOIs and RTMs (rank-to-match) in the process.
- Examples of user feedback: requests to remove inactive programs, changes to clinic/housing info, and discussions about color schemes and UI tweaks.
The Discord link, discussions on discord usage, and the chronological updates illustrate the dynamic, community-driven nature of the 2024-2025 radiology match sheet. This section preserves representative conversations, questions, and the collaborative spirit of the cohort.
Questions
- The sheet contains numerous Q&A pairings, with questions and model answers like:
- Question: How many interviews should I plan to attend to maximize my odds?
- Answer: NRMP-based guidance suggests a range (often 7-9 for DR, some prefer 16+ ranks contiguously for higher likelihood), with caveats about demo and program variation. The dataset includes multiple perspectives from different applicants, reflecting a broad spectrum of strategies.
- Other Q&A blocks cover topics like LOIs timing, SOAP/IR-Division interplay, and the impact of geography on ranking decisions.
- There are sections labeled Question/Answer and multiple Answer slots (Answer #1, #2, #3) intended for interview peers to fill with real experiences.
Interview Invites by Date
The spreadsheet includes a dense log of interview invite dates by date, including waves of invites, regional differences, and cross-program scheduling. Dates include late 2024 through early 2025, with waves often occurring in October through January. The data also notes when some programs count DR and IR interviews together, and when invite waves are counted separately.
Examples from the log include (illustrative, not exhaustive):
- 10/15/2024 – Northwestern DR invites, with counts for DR and IR; 10/16/2024 – Emory DR/IR invites; 10/17/2024 – Mayo Rochester, etc.
- 11/11/2024 – NYU invites; 11/14/2024 – Doximity/RTM notes; 12/11/2024 – Yale, Stanford, etc.
- 01/13/2025 – Stanford, Yale, UCSF, MGH, etc.
Note: The logs reflect the real-world irregularities of invitation timing, including waves, waitlists, and optional second-look invitations, as described by residents and coordinators in the sheet.
Interview Invite Data
The dataset contains a tabular display of program name, DR or IR status, invite dates, notes about whether the interview counted toward DR, IR, or both, and comments about the invitation (including whether it was sent via ERAS or email, if a LOI was requested, etc.). It also captures the count of invitations, and remarks about the invite process (e.g., “invite via ERAS,” “invited separately to interview for each DR/IR,” etc.).
The data points for each program typically include:
- Program Name
- DR/IR or IR/DR designation
- Invite dates (One or more)
- Whether the IR/DR counts toward DR or IR or both
- Comments (LOI requests, scheduling notes, etc.)
- EMR/communication channel (email vs. snail mail)
- Optional notes (e.g., “Monday night social,” “PD and faculty interviews,” etc.)
This section preserves the structure of the original roster, including the multi-column layout and the contextual comments that accompany each invite.
2025 Match Timeline TY/Prelim Interview Invites
The document includes a dedicated timeline for TY/Prelim interview invites, including specific dates (e.g., September 25, 2024; October 1–October 9; October 15–October 20, etc.) and notes about the nature of TY versus DR interview waves and the interplay with prelim scheduling. The data captures the reality that TY and DR interviews sometimes occur on separate tracks with shared program sites, and sometimes in waves, with reminders about program deadlines and NRMP ship dates.
The sheet shows a historical expansion of TY/Prelim travel, LOI submission timings, and the reality that some programs count TY/Prelim interviews toward a combined interview day, while others keep TY/Prelim separate.
June 5, 2024 @ 9AM ET ERAS 2025 Season BeĀins Interview Experience {#june-5-2024-9am-et-eras-2025-season-beāins-interview-experience}
This entry summarizes the opening experiences for ERAS 2025, including the start of interview season, early invite waves, and first impressions from early interview encounters. It includes notes on the tone of early sessions, the balance between DR and IR exposure, and initial preferences or concerns expressed by applicants in their first encounters.

The sheet records NRMP registration times and the post-interview communication patterns, including timelines when NRMP standard registration opens and typical communications from programs post-interviews (e.g., rejections, acceptances, or waitlist updates).
September 25, 2024 @ 9AM ET ERAS Applications Available to ProĀrams Interview Swaps
This section documents ERAS application availability windows and interview swap logistics. It includes guidance on how to coordinate swaps, who to contact, and the protocol for proposing a swap when a candidate has accepted an interview slot that conflicts with another program’s date. The dataset includes examples of swap workflows, including the steps to contact program coordinators and CCs, and the typical responses observed by applicants.
January 31, 2025 @ 11:59 ET NRMP Standard Registration Deadline Rejections
