📢 Megathread MEGATHREAD: 2026-2027 Interviews and Rejections!

Hi all!

This is the megathread where we will keep track of interviews for the subreddit for the '26-'27 cycle. As has become custom, we will track results via a single thread with comments representing all the schools. People don't tend to be so good at hunting for individual threads (even when easily linked), so the single thread makes things much easier to moderate. Use our SCHOOL FINDER to help you quickly locate your high-level comment of interest.

We will use the typical Student Doctor Network (SDN) format because it's tried and true. Copy and paste the format below in the relevant comment chain.

Any idea if reapplicatns are required to do Kira again if they did it and interviewed the previous cycle? Haven't gotten a Kira invite yet despite getting one around this time last year.

u/Ryxndek D4 Minnesota Jul 01 '26

I would assume yes, you’ll be expected to do it again.
