Does anyone know if top GI university programs ( e.g Hopkins, U of MI, Duke, Stanford……) do accept IMG? Thank you for your reply in advance…

I'm sure you can get answers to your question if you look at the GI programs website and see the listings of their fellows. Many of the programs you listed, list their fellows med school education.

Unfortunately not all programs post their fellows profiles
 
Nice job guys. The programs that offer interviews early vs late is simply a reflection of the PD of that program. I did find that it was true that US grads got first dibs; hey, it's their "home field advantage" and some would say rightfully so (given the debt owed to said country).

Not a time to panic. Relax. Most PDs haven't even seen the pile of apps their secretary left them after filtering out the low Step scores etc.

In response to the question about IMG...if you are marketable enough, you can get in anywhere. If you aren't a marketable commodity, then who cares who takes what kind of applicant...you should be willing to go anywhere at that point.
 
Does any one know what are the common criteria for for GI fellowship candidate selection? Is it letters,USMLE scores,University residency or medical schools etc?
Does every program place filter for scores only or any thing else?

all of these questions are answered, in detail, in the GI forum. do a little digging...i mean, minimal, and you'll find it all.

Good work. The beauty of this forum is staying anonymous. contribute as much as u can. even with best CV, some of us may not get interviews. I remember speaking to 2 first year fellows, long time back. Both foreign grads needing visa. One got 3 ivs and matched at the same place where he was academic hospitalist for 2 years. another one who i have known for more than a year got 2 ivs and one program decided to stop giving visas for gi fellowship that year after finishings ivs. he fortunately matched in the other program.

these explain the thin line on which IMG applicants live. u routinely hear AMG applicants getting >5-10 interviews but for IMGs, getting one is an achievement by itself.
Good Luck

It's true, being an IMG is hard in the states. On the other hand, US med schools charge 140-240K whereas you can receive a degree in the EU for 60-90K. Why should the EU grad be on level ground with half the investment? Yes, it's a broken system, but the debt is all too real. In a perfect world, merit should dictate who does what. It's not a perfect world.
 
Is the general consensus that interviews are typically given by each program on a single day (ie Duke on 7/24) or on a rolling basis?

University of Rochester invite today! :)
 
Academic program from philadelphia. No interviews. So scared
 
Had some questions for ppl who got interviews this year and previous year applicants:
Do programs offer multiple iv dates when emailing interview invite?
Any advice as to which day of the week to leave open so that it can be left open for future ivs?
between sept 1 to oct 30, which are the busiest weeks when many programs interview?
i heard that rescheduling ivs s next to impossible so wanna be aware of these. I did see some programs offered saturday interviews which would b convenient to attend without taking a day off.

thank you for replying
 
how important USMLE scores? Is it really < 90 considered a deal breaker?
other question I have is: one of the publications where I`m a second author just accepted; is there anyway I can update my application?
 
Hope4gi, definitely call ERAS ASAP and update them of your recent publication. Every paper counts, esp when you're the second author. A score <90th percentile is NOT a deal breaker.

Thank you for your reply geffgeff. I`ll call ERAS, although I`m not very optimistic, they did not do it for my friend last year.
 
Lets see what today brings! Good morning everybody!

For people that got Rochester, do you guys mind sharing your credentials?

Also have any of you on visa, contemplated what your back up would be if you don't match......
 
Large academic residency, 6 publications, 260 steps, 2IM letters and 2GI letters, straight through from college to now.

On a side note, based on the forum from last year it looks like most programs don't give interviews until August and even into September.

when you guys mention publication, are these manuscripts only or includes abstracts? we enter these together in ERAS CV but wasnt sure if guys are mentioning that. When looking at last year forum, people consistently mentioned 10 publications. Many current GI fellows dont have that many. so was wondering

Me three! It's especially hard hearing our coresidents applying to other specialities getting interviews. Happy for them but at the same time anxious about not having heard yet. But I urge everyone to have faith in themselves :) Positive thinking will only help us through. Go go go everyone!
