PCCM 2008 Match Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
anyone from or knows about dc programs? i believe there are 3 going for match including georgetown, GW and WHC. how competitive are they and how many spots they have each year? how about where their fellows come from? they have very limited information on their websites.
 
this thread is too slow.😴 need activity in here!!:scared:

i am still waiting for my PD's letter to upload. he says he did send it before he returned from holidays. hope to get at least some ivs then.:luck:

was looking at match statistics from last yr on nrmp. seems 30% matched were FMGs. that s some hope. will not know what to do if dont get a spot this yr.
 
Question to the group: About how many programs are most people applying to, AMG and FMG? I've applied to about 20, but now I'm starting to worry that I didn't apply to enough...
 
hurray😀!! finally my PD's letter is in ERAS office waiting to b uploaded.

hope this week does bring positive activity to my inbox too.🙂

I initially applied to 30 H1B friendly programs. but when of one of my frens at other program who is applying to renal this yr suggested me otherwise, i added 10 J1s only to find that was a waste of 250 bucks. wanna kill him!!:laugh:
 
My all LOR 's uploaded before new years, hopefully they will review applications this week. so far one interview only ... i am checking my inbox 30-40 times a day..... I applied to 21 programs , am an FMG. I thinking of applying to more now ..
any word from henry ford, baylor ??
 
from Colorado and Pennsylvania..

atleast started getting replies now...it feels like vacuum when u dont hear anything from anyone..

applied to 40 some progs..am an FMG, scores in the 80's..not so decent resume huh..

life sucks..😀
 
i hope i dont get philosophical by the end of this match period...😡

life really sucks...
 
Interviews at Penn and UColorado. Penn via email. Colorado tells you by email whether you have an interview but is mailing a packet w/ interview dates.
 
I'm feeling a deep, sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I am in some sort of weird limbo ERAS hell. I had no rejections yet, but only one interview outside of my home program so far.... I've checked and my apps are downloaded (mostly-- a recent addition isn't, but that is expected). I have pretty good stats, a few pubs, I'm AMG, and the one invite is from a strong program. I think my inbox must be broken.... but I'm seeing people getting rejects and invites from programs I've applied to. What gives?
 
3 rejections-UKMC/Oklahoma/Henry ford 😡
No interviews till now its already 2nd week of jan.

Good luck for all applicants
 
Finally got first rejection fromHenryFord, it sucks, but at least heard something. GL to all
 
👎 Rejection from henry ford !they sent rejection email twice.
Good luck , everyone
 
hi everyone another FMG joining forum.

Can you guys post your creds?? just to get a sense a what they want.
 
well.. seems its not only me!! and i had thought i was at least good enough for HF- was fun reading their rej--- although favorbly impressed by ur appln and cv, we decided to pursue other candidates!!

with 99, 99 and 88 and a poster and an abstract in a journal supplement, and hopefully reasonable LORs, and as a R2- my chances seem slim coz i am on H1??

seems its not working out this yr or ever. mayb will do hospitalist in midwest...... and go back to home country in few yrs.

never felt so depressed since starting residency!!
 
same reply from HF, impressed with cv and so on but could not give interview. 😡

Rej from Baylor... first rejection so far. I wonder what they want!?!?!? I have a J1, 4 posters, 1 abstract in CHEST, 2 case reports, 96/96/90, from a big university program. I wonder if they are looking for a lot of research experience or PhD/MDs ??????? Now I wonder if the LORs were not that impresive ?!??! good luck to every one.
