Oh no, all those interview invitations arrived before my Step 2 scores had been posted. I can only assume that my stunningly good looks were evident on the photo I had mailed in. Perhaps you aren't as blessed.

I would hope so. I don't think the invitations are quite over yet. With a 99 on Step 2 you're sure to get invites from some better programs.

Today I got rejected from UAB (for the second time) and LIJ.

-The Trifling Jester

 

[DiaHuq]

LIJ rejected me too 🙂

 

[cd95]

So is it Case Western proper, or Metro Health that you want. Actually, I'm not even sure what the difference is (maybe someone could elucidate this?)

Anyway, adding to the tally

Rejections from:
Hopkins
Mayo Jax
and inexplicably Vanderbilt again. You'd think that one rude message would be enough, but it seems that they want to rub it in

Interview:
Deaconess- woo hoo!!

 

[DiaHuq]

new rejections: northwestern, jhu, baylor,mayo scottsdale,

invite: nym

just got my score in the mail, 258 on step 2 ck,
it hasn't made much of a difference since, my score was reported i only got 1 more interview, but I truly am grateful for the interviews I have, but.......
good job guys, some really good programs, keep it up!!!

[inositide]

Question for DiaHaq regarding the step2 ck. Your step 2ck score is fantastic.
Can you tell me if you used either UsmleWorld or kaplan qbank and if you did what percent you were getting on them? I am trying to figure out how to guage my progress before I take the ck. Thanks.

Lots of places where I called said that their interview slots have long been filled. I suppose it is pretty much first come first basis, espeically for Community programs. I wonder how much of this can be applied to University Programs.
