Most invites won't come til after 10/1 I think...or at least that's what I've been hearing people say. I wonder when TY and prelim invites will start rolling out?

Thanks. How many prelim/TY programs have you applied?
P.S. Ignore the above message from "aaroo". Its is my wife's account and she is applying for anesthesia, We are using the same macbook and I logged in by mistake.

Are you a Caribbean graduate?
 
I'm hoping this year's thread will be more useful than last years, where no one posted any invites except for one guy who had 260+ on both steps, which isn't very useful for most of us. Knosway14 what are your stats?

Huh, interesting! Also didn't know they had sent out interviews. I personally am a DO applicant who has a connection to the St. Joseph Mercy system... it's well known that the SJMO program is very friendly to IMG/FMGs.
 
Hello. US-IMG MS4 here.
Step 1: 236
Step 2: 219 :dead:
CS: Passed

All 1st attempt, no research, good grades.

Interviews:
SJMO in MI.
Staten Island University Hospital (Northwell) in NY.
Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island, NY.

Update:
Received interviews invitations from:
SUNY Upstate.
Morristown Med Ctr.
Maimonides in Brooklyn.
Rutgers in Newark.
Allegheny in Pittsburgh.

I received most of the invitations around Nov-December. So for those who see this post next year, don't feel overwhelmed if you have not received any invitations during September/October when most applications are initially reviewed.
