Nothing Yet for me and i've honestly lost all hope ... I gave this career everything that i've had and it's time to move on . i've sacrificed my marriage, gave up my business , 10 years of my youth , time away from loved ones during their hardest time etc... it's a shame because i have no doubt that i would've became a great Physician . Good luck to you all .

Hey don't give up yet, many people will be recieving IV's soon, and your app looks good for FM!, you have visa, CK score improvement, and your gap is due to genuine reasons. Did you explain your gap in your CV?
I'm sure you will receive IV's soon enough this cycle!!

They have been sending rejections to some people I know though. But haven’t heard of invites being given out. Oh well...

I think someone here said they are on waiting list a while ago
 
What is going on with FM? do they interview us anymore?

I'm starting to wish I never wasted money on this "backup"

Hey MP, how many interviews are you at?

It looks like the ball is starting to roll this week for IMGs since I've gotten 2 rejections yesterday and 2 more today.
What do you think about my chances? I'm at 0 IV right now, when did you receive your invites last year?

what are your credentials again? if you have FM
experience and lors that will help the most.

I'm a Canadian IMG who went to a carribbean school that isn't in the top 10. 22x in both steps and no failures and I graduated this year. And I have 1 research preenpresent with 3 US LORs, one of them from IM and another one from FM.

I have about 14 rejections so far with no invites :(

I recommend you email every single program. A well written personliazed email per program. Also explain any flags. Start with local ties and connections first. Good luck

Thanks MP for the response, should i send it to PC, PD or both?

Do u think, there is still a possibility for ppl like me to get IV?

To: PD cc PC...address to PD
of course, send really good emails of interest.

do you have current family experience, LoRs?...you have to be active and keep seeing what you can do to make your application better. Try your best this year, but also have a plan B

No I havent.

In my opinion, your LoRs are too old, you need more FM/primary care experience and LoRs, also try doing step 3 since you need a visa.
