When will I find out if I've been invited to interview?
Each program sets its own policies and procedures for scheduling and conducting interviews, so you should check with each program directly regarding its procedures. If the program schedules its interviews using NMS Interview, you can log into your NMS Match System account to see if the program has sent you an invitation. If the programs schedule its interviews using another method, you must contact the program directly regarging your interview status.
All interviews must be completed prior to the Rank Order List deadline.

What should I do if I did not get any interviews?
If you did not obtain any interviews and are not going to submit any rankings of programs, you should withdraw from the Match. Applicants who withdraw are still able to access information regarding unfilled positions after the Match.
Note: If you do not submit any rankings for Phase I but you do plan to participate in Phase II of the Match, you should not withdraw from Phase I.
When you withdraw, you will be required to select a reason for the withdrawal. One of the options will enable you to indicate that you are withdrawing because you have no programs to rank (for example, because you received no interviews), but you are still interested in seeking a residency position in the Post-Match. If you select this option, you will be included in the list of unmatched applicants provided to programs with positions available after the Match. If you select any other reason for the withdrawal, you will be excluded from the list of unmatched applicants who may be seeking a position.
