As an IMG with average scores, do you guys think it’s worth it to apply to UTSW dallas? They mostly have AMGs

When its @ IMG as they say apply broad or everywhere .( so many post you will see ) , you never know "Luck may Shine"
so if you believe in that and you have money go ahead and apply. (Because in 26$ in places like NYC you will get low mein , dumplings and cheap bottle of wine ) .... if i have scores like you and extra 26$ i will.
For example , i know i have " ZERO" chance in NYU , luck is no where , but i still applied . why? because of hope, that's all i have . Thats beauty of us as humans, that hope can create anything .
So decide if you feel you want to go ahead , or take advice only from physicians or residents or experts first ( be careful @ advice from non medical professionals , believe me it bit me @ wrong place) .
Good Luck

I emailed a bunch of research departments in hospitals associated with residency programs. I wrote a short emailing stating my situation and interest in research, attached CV and next day I had an interview. Just keep trying. Make sure you have a well written CV. I'm not sure if you are looking for a paid position but if you are willing to help for free and then possibly turn that into a paying job there should be a lot of of opportunities. The program that offered me an IV told me they don't want to waste my time and they know I want to be published and thats what they said would happen after 3-4 months. They were willing to teach me as well, they said it could turn into a paid position depending on my performance.

Please post this in the general IM forum as this should be restricted towards interviews and match.
 
This is just me thinking out loud, but any idea if choosing the first date from the invite dates offered maximizes your chances of being chosen for the program?

Do you get published by helping out for free?

- sorry I know this is irrelevant to this thread but since you mentioned it here, I thought I’d ask.

There have been some studies regarding this and there is no correlation between chances of matching and date of interview. Having said that, it is recommended that you schedule your preferred programs mid- to late-season (if you have more than a couple of IVs) so you have had some experience with interviewing and your anxiety levels have decreased.

Guys! I have a question that may sound funny. I am somewhat confused about primary care IM tracks. I mean is there any differences between it and categorical in term of future fellowship application? Can primary care IM residents even apply for fellowships?

From what I know, yes they can. There are no restrictions on what you can and can't apply to. Its just that primary care residency have more outpatient rotations than the categorical im programs to prepare you to go into the primary track.

Thank you so much.
 
Hope I don't get rejected after the ominous "we reviewed you application..."

Acknowledgements don't mean anything but its good to know someone is actually receiving my app
 
Hi, Has any IMG applicant gotten any IM interview invites yet?
 
So DMC just emailed me they are still reviewing applications and will soon start giving out interviews. I thought someone here said they already got an interview from sinai grace? Hope we aren't making up interviews, we need to be fully transparent on here to help each other

Hey guys! Don't trust the spreadsheets at all. It's been known that trolls have been lying on it. I certainly have not been looking at them.
