Hi,,,,
Did any one receive interview call from UMN yet??
No, UMN doesn't require LOR's. I read it on the faq's section..Guys did anybody add letters of Recommendation to UMN application ?The program does not request it. Do we still need to add in LORs. Thinking of applying.
They have mentioned on their website ..they look at all the aspects of the application .How do these people select is if they don't have LoRs ? Based on our gpa?
hey i have a question.. it says on the website that they require a mandatory 1 year of work in the home country after graduation.. do u all have 1 year of work after graduation at ur home countries? i just graduated last year and sicne then ive been shuttling between home and the states for my part 1 and 2 exams and shadowing.. was so confused when i read this!They have mentioned on their website ..they look at all the aspects of the application .

Hey where did you read that? I went through the website again and couldn't find this. Do not worry coz one of my friends was a fresh graduate and got into the program. All the best.hey i have a question.. it says on the website that they require a mandatory 1 year of work in the home country after graduation.. do u all have 1 year of work after graduation at ur home countries? i just graduated last year and sicne then ive been shuttling between home and the states for my part 1 and 2 exams and shadowing.. was so confused when i read this!
wow thanks- that gives me some hope! theyve written it under admission requirements (degree portion).. i think they have meant either 12 months of internship completion or 1 year mandatory work at a govt hospital.. i think its an either rather than an 'and'. not sure.. im still appllying thou! any ideas about interviews yet? they said they start interviews feb 14 onwards..Hey where did you read that?

i havent applied yet. ill be applying by next week when i get all my docs in place. they need the scores and all to be sent by us so im just arranging all that still.When did you apply? Any updates?
I don't think that's a rejection. They r telling u to stay optimistic and that u could get a call anytimeJust got a letter saying at this time you are not selected for interview but we are keeping your file active and will notify you about interview by phone/email if any changes ...So this means a rejection rt? Any one in similar shoes who got a call later on ??
have u heard anything so far? i received my application completion email todayGuyz,
Anyone has an idea how many candidates they have interviewed until now? I sent my appplication last month, waiting to hear back.
Nothing after the completion email. I guess it will take 2 more weekshave u heard anything so far? i received my application completion email today
Congratulations!Interview on 9th April..Any females here who wants to share accommodation?? PM me

Hi.. Yes this was my first application cycle at UMN. I dont think stats matter that much . A friend of mine with not -so-great stats and nill clinical experience got in lasy year. Its a whole lot of luck and the whole application that counts (Atleast this is what I feel)Is this your first application cycle at UMN? Is it ok to share your stats? I am confused to apply or not ..
