Interview invites · live data
Who has sent diagnostic radiology invites this cycle, set against the same day of the 2025-26 cycle.

Final counts for diagnostic radiology applicants · n = 643
The diagnostic radiology match rate tops out at 89%, and it gets there at 10 invites — past that, more interviews bought almost nothing.
51% of diagnostic radiology applicants had their offers by this point in the cycle, and 39.2% named Mid October — the window you are in now. 49% of the field were still waiting at this point.
The 13% whose offers did not arrive until Early November still matched at 78% (n = 83), on a median of 13 invites.
The interviews themselves cluster in November (61.5%) and December (27.4%) — the weeks worth keeping clear.
How this is measured
Applicant-level self-reported survey rows pooled over survey years 2024-2025-2026, one row per applicant per specialty per cycle. `offers` is the distribution of interview offers received. `match_curve` is P(matched in this specialty | number of offers), binned adaptively to at least 25 applicants per bin and fit with pool-adjacent-violators so the curve is non-decreasing; ci_lo/ci_hi are Wilson intervals on the raw bin. `timing` is the share of applicants reporting their offers arrived in each window, and the outcome of the applicants in that window.
- Conditional, not causal. Applicants with more interviews are stronger applicants; the curve says what happened to people holding N offers, not what a marginal extra interview buys you.
- Matched means matched IN THIS SPECIALTY. An applicant who did not match here but matched a prelim year or a second specialty counts as unmatched.
- Self-reported by applicants at participating schools, so the sample skews US MD and toward schools that run the survey. IMG and DO counts are thinner than the national applicant pool.
- The timing question's earliest option is early October, so offers that arrived in September are folded into that window.
