Signaling: We will utilize signaling and geographic preferences as tools in the process of prioritizing applications for holistic review prior to sending invitations for interviews, which occurs on a rolling basis. Signals and geographic preferences will not be used in the ranking process. No signals will be ‘assumed’ (e.g. a rotation with our program is not assumed to be a ‘signal’ in the ERAS system).
