lvspro said:U of Colorado.
Damn, I'm gettin a whole helluva lot of rejexns lately. Oh well, out of 94 applications, I should be able to get at least 1 residency... I hope
veetz said:Not to worry...I think Swaydaa got rejected last yr from Colorado initially, then received an invite. Anyhow, you're right, you'll get a good spot somewhere!
The Pill Counter said:Have you heard this $h!t before, i got an interview at Buffalo, asked if there would be a later date to interview and got the invite pulled!

lvspro said:I'm getting the feeling that most programs have almost all of their interview slots filled by now, and are pretty much going through a second round to make sure they didn't miss any of the stellar US candidates. I think the flaw with all of this is that a ton of candidates are shotgunning, and there may be quite a few programs that end up not filling.
Either way, I'm regretting going caribbean right now. I always thought that merit would trump pedigree, but I'm learning the cold hard truth that that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not expecting an interview at Hopkins, but gimme a break... 94 programs, and only 5 anes invites... what gives. Anyhow, it's gonna be a cut-throat year for us IMG's... I'm predicting that only 10-15% of the slots fill w/IMG, and mainly at IMG-heavy hospitals. This is in comparison to last years ~30% as per below table.

If y'all are getting the same vibes, lemme know.

lvspro said:Hey veetz, r u stalking me or something? Seems like we're getting a lot of the same responses.

veetz said:USF hates IMG's from what I've been told, atleast UF and UMiami have a hx of accepting IMG's into their programs...so, until they say no, I'd say you still have a shot.
driverabu said:Thanks for the encouragement! As long as I get one Florida invite I'll be happy. Congrats on the Tufts invite!! I'll see you on Saturday for our NYMC interview!
Monitor said:I called CCF today. They said my application was received on 10/20/05 and the last time they reviewed any applications was 10/19/05. They said they already filled the interview spots and probably would not reopen the application review process this year.
10/19/05 What the hell man

Rejected by U of Kentucky
driverabu said:Rejection from Virginia Mason....damn it
lvspro said:Ditto
Did their letter seem a little elitist "due to the competitive nature of this program blah blah blah," to you guys/gals? I think I would be more satisfied with an "Sorry, but we don't take IMG's" than some of the watered down versions of what basically amounts to the bird, that I've been getting.
JMHO.
veetz said:FU by UF today!
Glad to see ya made it back from NY & MUO ok Driver...
