Oh no, all those interview invitations arrived before my Step 2 scores had been posted. I can only assume that my stunningly good looks were evident on the photo I had mailed in. Perhaps you aren't as blessed.

I would hope so. I don't think the invitations are quite over yet. With a 99 on Step 2 you're sure to get invites from some better programs.

Today I got rejected from UAB (for the second time) and LIJ.

-The Trifling Jester

LIJ rejected me too :)

So is it Case Western proper, or Metro Health that you want. Actually, I'm not even sure what the difference is (maybe someone could elucidate this?)

Anyway, adding to the tally

Rejections from:
Hopkins
Mayo Jax
and inexplicably Vanderbilt again. You'd think that one rude message would be enough, but it seems that they want to rub it in

Interview:
Deaconess- woo hoo!!

new rejections: northwestern, jhu, baylor,mayo scottsdale,

invite: nym

just got my score in the mail, 258 on step 2 ck,
it hasn't made much of a difference since, my score was reported i only got 1 more interview, but I truly am grateful for the interviews I have, but.......
