| rdfs:comment | - This article about The Applicants attempts to introduce, more or less, the forty people who applied for the three open fellowship positions at the beginning of Season 4. At the beginning of the "competition" there were forty doctors in the hunt, which by the end of the episode The Right Stuff had been narrowed down to ten. By the start of Guardian Angels it had been narrowed down to seven, Dr. Henry Dobson whom House refers to as "Ridiculously Old Fraud" was let go at the end of that episode. The field was further narrowed to five at the end of Whatever It Takes, but House had offered Dr. Samira Terzi a job and, despite knowing about House's treatment of his previous team, she showed up at Princeton-Plainsboro to take him up on it.

| abstract | - This article about The Applicants attempts to introduce, more or less, the forty people who applied for the three open fellowship positions at the beginning of Season 4. At the beginning of the "competition" there were forty doctors in the hunt, which by the end of the episode The Right Stuff had been narrowed down to ten. By the start of Guardian Angels it had been narrowed down to seven, Dr. Henry Dobson whom House refers to as "Ridiculously Old Fraud" was let go at the end of that episode. The field was further narrowed to five at the end of Whatever It Takes, but House had offered Dr. Samira Terzi a job and, despite knowing about House's treatment of his previous team, she showed up at Princeton-Plainsboro to take him up on it. Part of the problem in developing this article is that, from the beginning, the applicants were referred to by number, and even by the episode 97 Seconds, House had not bothered to learn anyone's name. He consistently refers to them by titles such as "Unloved Foster Kid" and "Manipulative Bitch". This article relies heavily on the character names given by the Internet Movie Data Base. However, Amber and Cole identified themselves by name to other characters in the episode Guardian Angels. Taub, Brennan and Kutner were identified by name in Mirror Mirror. Number 13 was not referred to by name until the episode House's Head, when Cuddy was trying to get her to stop House from performing a dangerous procedure. In Mirror Mirror, the applicants (except for Cole) had to meet with a patient who mirrored the personality of the person he was with at the time, giving us insights into their personalities.
