That rejection was going to happen anyway.

Nothing : apply broadly and widely -- welcome to GI
Please ADD Rutgers and Baylor
Thank you, applied to 166 programs
Scores are good but average. Research is decent. Chances are best at home program, depending on your perceived image there, and elsewhere based on the quality of your letters/clout of your letter writers. Anticipate mostly regional interviews.
It is crazy how someone with stats like yours would not match even if you applied late
IMG- J1 visa
all you need to do is to apply. You will definitely match with stats like that
Its virtual.
No difference I guess.
Apply very broadly and try to get started on a new research as well. Have a back up plan also
Include them write in the end (SUBMITTED)
it should be virtual but some programs will invite in person
those programs will send it via email (as I recall ) don't have the list
Is130s programs broad enough?
You may need to double the number of applications to a minimum of 260 programs. And if you want to have a fighting chance at getting in, make sure you have cured at least one form of gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary cancer before submitting your application.
These days its usually two cancers tbh to really be competitive and get into one of their first 75 choices.
lol. This is depressing. I get the hyperbole but hepatology is my backup plan.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm going to apply to ~145-150 programs (excluding top 20 because it'd be a waste of money). I attended the ACG virtual rounds in 5/2021 on "applying to GI", and PDs from Allegheny, Mayo, NYU, and Indiana made it seem like they review all applications without filters (except for visa in programs that don't sponsor), but in reality, those filters exist, whether scores, regional bias, research, or training program. Gotta play the game right as you said. I know quite a few people who matched after doing hepatology year, albeit community programs. That would probably plan B. Thanks again!
just put the pub. it's worth way more. you can elaborate about it more, including its journey from abstract -> poster -> pub, on interview day.
This is confusing to me. If an abstract accepted as a poster at a conference (ie. ACG/DDW) then gets published in the journal's supplemental, I should put it as a publication not poster presentation?
forums.studentdoctor.net
not sure why it's confusing. at the end of the day, any applicant can choose to do what he/she wishes. the majority, if not all, of program admin know that a "publication" in 'XYZ journal supplement' is a poster/oral presentation.
Very true, but I do believe that most faculty skim CVs a lot more than looking that much into what is what from my interactions. It may matter in that sense.
Thank you for offering to help! Any advice on emailing PDs after the application is submitted? When is the best time to email? How effective is it? How long should the email be and what to focus on? Should personal things be mentioned like ties to the area, etc..?
