Rejection from St Peter Olympia program
Yes, US IMG.Does anyone have an interview at St. Agnes?
Yes, US IMG.
Same boat. Sounds like a smart plan. However the season doesn’t really end until much later. So that’s keep finger crossed and stay positive, hope is what move is forward. We have passed many stages already and we just need some extra mileIs it really getting late now for IV invites? Is it maybe the time to rethink everything and probably start planning for Season 2020? Might as well right?

I have no idea I assumed they were not prematch.@Eastvillage, I am unable to message you. But all I really wanted to ask was if this program is prematch or not. I checked FREIDA and their website but it doesn’t say anything about that. Also, they are not in the NRMP list (which could either be because they haven’t registered yet or are prematch).
In case anyone here knows, let me know! Thank you!

I am still having an ounce of hope in my emotional bank as of the moment. But the stress, and disappointments is still haunting. I wish I could've done better in my Steps But I can't rectify those scores anymore. I would just wish a program would see past scores, and give someone a shot too.
Don't worry about the step exams. Yes they are important when it comes to certain program that have filters. However, that does not mean it will prevent you from landing IVs. Now is the time to send LOIs and give it your all. There's a fine line of being persistent vs annoying when contacting the programs that you have genuine interest in. I can honestly saying going to the AAFP Conference and getting to know these programs was a game changer. It allowed me to really see where I would truly be a fit and I made it a point to keep in touch with programs that I felt I had a connection with. Most of us IMGs may have red flags because of steps or perhaps gaps in our academic timeline. I never thought I would land 1 IV, now let alone 6 at this moment. All of it I can credit to having a conversation going before ERAS opened and some just happened to work out for the best in that sense.
Mind in telling which conference? I wanted to join the AAFP Resident and Medical Student conference in Kansas before. Which conferences would you recommend attending?
Me too! I also wanted to attend the AAFP Conference for residents and students but didn’t because apparently if you’re a graduate, they have a YOG limit of of 2 years in order to participate. And I graduated about 4 years ago so...
Same got the email. Anyone got mails from SUNY Brooklyn programs?
I interviewed there last month, and when I scheduled my interview through ERAS they only had like 6 interview days for the whole season, with the last one being before Christmas. They're trying to end the show early on ...

Safe to say they are done with IV invitations?
I wasn't aware of a YOG limit to attend the conference, perhaps it's a new thing. There were plenty of graduates this past conference that I went to. I would say most of the student/graduate attendees are there to get to know these programs and what they are all about. My hope is that both of you match this season and don't have to worry about attending this conference, as you guys will be residents = )
But just for reference purposes, this AAFP conference takes place every summer in Kansas City around the first weekend of August. There are about 200 residency programs that are present and they have booths setup in a huge convention center. All the information is provided to you in terms of where in the hall they are situated. However, I highly recommend researching these programs at least a month in advance so that you know which programs you are interested in and want to know more about. You do not want to be that person approaching these booths and asking them if they accept IMGs or if they have a cutoff for step scores because that is information you can easily obtain on their website unless otherwise unspecified. Furthermore, it shows that you do not have genuine interest in them as you didn't prepare beforehand. You want to go to the conference well-prepared and with good, genuine questions about the program. I made a list of programs that I knew I was qualified for so I felt confident approaching these programs. Another important factor to know is that at most of these programs, the PD or faculty will be present along with the residents. Treat this as a pre-interview because this is one of the few times where you can get to meet these people in person without having to send emails or call them endlessly. If you have more questions, PM me. I hope this provides a better insight.
I think so.. I just checked right now and it seems as though they have canceled all remaining interview dates.. they must have already chosen the 6 residents they want to hire, I guess!

You mean In His Image? I sent LOI early this month and haven’t heard anything.Has anyone received an interview from IHI in Tulsa?

Interestingly I haven’t gotten rejection for about a week now. Creepy.....
Ya sounds like that is what's happening as I'm still sitting at 0 interviews. My only hope right now are like the 5-6 programs that have sent out rejections and I have not heard from yet, but for all I know I could just be waitlisted at those programsIn my what i have noticed, people who have 0 invites are those who need visa sponsorships. GC, USIMG, USMDs are tier 1 candidates as of the moment. From what I have heard (a reliable source) US citizens and permanent residents are given top priority for IVs this season. And was told if ever tier 1 applicants withdraw or back out invites are given to NON US (people needing visas) as they are tier 2 applicants.
Congrats! sorry whats the full name of the program?Interview IHI

What’s your stat? Do you need visa?Interview IHI
What’s your stat? Do you need visa?
has this always been the case of just this year? I feel like politics and all the "immigrants" talk are playing a big role this year when it comes to visa applicantsIn my what i have noticed, people who have 0 invites are those who need visa sponsorships.
