Hi Guys
Is the game over or still any chance to hear for interviews.
i am wondering howz the system working, as I called some programs and they said still reviewing applications, however some of the candidates have received calls.

Keeping fingers crossed

 

[newdoc010]

Got one from Univ of Miami. Its a start Yippee🙂

 

[acula]

IMG seeking a H1, excellent USMLE scores, strong LoR, etc:

2 interviews, 3 rejections so far.

From Mt Sinai:

This year has been particularly competitive with a very large number of outstanding candidates applying for admission to our program.

That aside, I expect things to pick up in January, if what happens in other specialties is any guide.

Indiana University sponsors J-1 only,
Are there any hopes of second round of interview calls in early january or game is over, as approximately 500-600 applicants have applied and 15-20 candidates will be interviewed.

 

[newdoc010]

Rejection from Georgetown

 

[Pisma]

GL.

 

[kidney_doc]

Just called a few programs:

Programs that have finished calling people:
Brighams and women
Henry ford
Cleveland clinic OH

1 program said "sorry no VISAS": Cornell.

Many programs dont inform if rejected.

Many still reviewing. Have to wait and watch but doesn't look good.

 

[drsnh]

i think the game is over for IMGS needing H1B visas. i interviewed at some programs and they all said that this yr they had highly qualified applicants. i wonder how thats possible when the job situation for nephrology, especially for people on visas, in not encouraging.
anyways will wait and watch

 

[BoraBoyDE]

I have 4 interviews scheduled for Jan.

I couldn't do any december interviews because I am on service.

NYU
Cornell
UCSF
GWU

 

[scuff]

I really think game is over.
Called multiple programs and interviews are out.
Never thought nephrology will be so competetive and why, when u google jobs, do not show up even 20-30.
lets c whats in the pandora box

 

[nayan]

anyone got interview from drexel or umdnj?

 

[nayan]

anyone got interview from drexel or umdnj?

 

[salam]

let me tell you a secret guys , I was offered a spot although I have a humble medical knowledge, low score ..etc...
If you really want it ...do a critical care fellowship at least one year and believe me that will help a lot..they really liked it ...that is all what I have ...
all the best

 

[newdoc010]

The fellowship scene isn't looking that great. I am guessing we are close to the end of interview calls. Anyone beg to defer ?😕

 

[acula]

the job situation for nephrology, especially for people on visas, in not encouraging.

Could you elaborate on this a bit more? Just wondering what led you to conclude that the job prospects are not encouraging, and what the prospects are for those on visas.

Not disagreeing -- just trying to learn as much as I can.
