bostonall, i would have to agree with clevelandall... i am sure that you are an excellent candidate, but mass and cali are the most competitive states for med school, any residency, and any fellowship.... and in getting jobs, for that matter... on top of that, allergy is one of the most competitive fellowships so you really are limiting yourself... if you are lucky enough to snag something in these places, then you'll totally rock... but if i were you, definitely apply to a couple "safety" programs...
having said that, i applied all over mass and cali (in addition to others) and haven't heard a thing yet from either... i spoke with a friend of mine who is going to u of miss this july and he said that he didn't get any interview calls until feb... so those of us getting jan calls are abnormally early if you think about how long this process is... some interviews go into april and may... i personally think that this huge lag is asinine, but that's just me...
celevelandall, thanks for the info... i am really awaiting tampa, though it is super competitive and i will be LUCKY if i get a call from there...
