Thank you very much! I did that..! Hopefully a space will become available :)
 
After an interview, is it better to send a letter of thanks through ERAS or via email?

Firstly 230 is still a good score and not easy to get so don’t be disappointed in yourself! You should look at the NRMP data but if I remember correctly 230 is still close to the average of matched non us img applicants. Another big factor will be year of graduation because many programs have a cut off for that. Whatever you decide to do make sure you apply broadly. By broadly I mean 100s of programs that are img friendly.

Thank you so much for the advice :) All the best!

I guess it depends, I had to schedule a few interviews via my personal email. So, I thanked them there but others I thanked via ERAS,

Hey this is an IM thread only! How dare you sir how dare you. JK, congratsss! Just curious so you applied to both DR and IR programs? What was the composition of your letters for your Rads programs? ie. (1 Rads + 2 IM letters.) and how many rads electives/observerships did you do? Did you do any rads related research?

lol .
bro, I did apply with 3 IM related LOR and 1 INterventional Rad related lor.
I am doing research in point of care US scan right now, which is a broad topic and is also related to ICU, Anaesthesia and IM. i havent done any publish though, as I stared it on this project very recently.

I think my PS, was my strongest asset because I worked hard on it .

It is a community program though, the university programs were in IM residencies

So far : 0 IVs and rejections from: Flushing, Aurora, Kaiser Santa Clara, Legacy health, Medstar Baltimore, Spectrum health, Austin Dell and community memorial hospital.

You are getting rejections so you know. I even don't get that and I dont know they reject it or they are considering. No IVs and I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get any.
 
I guess there's a high chance this will be a silent Monday since today is a federal holiday =/

I don't know if any hospital will observe Columbus day. I am working in a hospital and things are busy as usual. I only know it's a federal holiday because I just read your post. I think it's just public schools, libraries, federal employees such as city workers and USPS employees that get this day off. Hospital are up and running.

Wondering what criteria Hennepin used for rejections, given that they just received 1900 applications!!

Not IMG friendly at all. They prefer locals with strong ties to the city if IMG. Based on profile of current residents.

It’s state (and union) dependent on whether people other than federal employees have the day off.
 
One of my friend who is a repeat applicant, told me that this match is very slow compare to previous match. Is it true ? If then, what are reasons ? any guess ?

May be repeat applicants get less action if there's not much improvement since his last application as YOG is also growing. This is just my hypothesis and not backed up by any scientific data.
 
Anyone with an IV at Geisinger Wilkes-barre? Considering that it is a recently accredited program, what would be its pros and cons?
 
rejection from hannepin. -5 +0
