Recruiting 2007

We're off to a great start! Quality of applications continues to improve every year. It's shaping up to be a very competitive season based on applications I've reviewed thus far (14 days into the season).

This morning, I screened 171 applications. 15 outstanding applicants will have received invitations to interview by close of business today.

Applicants with substantially complete applications who do not receive an interview invitation by 5pm CST today can check with Louis Johnston regarding the status of your application. Possibilities include: 1) screened and placed on hold for possible future interview invitation, 2) incomplete and not yet screened or 3) screened to inactive status (does not meet our criteria).

There are a handful of applicants who applied despite not meeting our published criteria - most commonly the requirement to have graduated from medical school within the past 5 years. All of these applicants were placed on "inactive" status and do not need to contact Mr. Johnson to confirm. Decisions regarding applications currently on hold status will be forthcoming as we progress into the season.

Congratulations to our first group of 15 invited applicants, and I'm looking forward to meeting you!
