Interview process change

Standardized invitation and acceptances

The Society of Academic Urologists (SAU) will once again implement a standardized format for the extension and acceptance of interview offers.

On Oct. 27, 2023, date-specific interview offers will be extended by all programs participating in the match. Programs are prohibited from offering interviews before this date. Programs must also release their waitlist and rejection notifications to applicants on this date.

On Oct. 30, 2023, students must contact each program from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. CST to accept or decline each of these offers. Students are prohibited from contacting programs before this date. After 1 p.m. CST, programs may start to communicate with students again for confirmations and to send additional invitations on their waitlist after reviewing their acceptance and declination responses. 

On Oct. 31, 2022, "Flush Day," students may release previously accepted interview slots in favor of any invitations offered to them off a waitlist. After Flush Day, all interview acceptances are final and must be honored by the student. No cancellations are permitted by either party. More information on this process can be found on the SAU website.
