Questions to ask yourself:

How are your interviewing skills? Do you fit in with the programs that you are applying to? Are your scores competitive? Did you graduate medical school recently?

There's lots of reasons why you may not have been offered interviews and I can't begin to guess. I do know that program directors cannot see your picture until you have been offered an interview.

Perhaps it's where and how I was raised, but aside from religion, we are all the same. Well, except you went to medical school and I didn't. :oops:

Good luck!

(p.s. the question about Muslim doctors and prejudice could be asked by many, many religions and nationalities: Hindu, Jewish, Orthodox, Baha'i, etc.)

my friend also wears a hijab(head cover ) and had no problems getting interviews and she got a prematch so don't worry.........it's your personality that counts and
ofcourse your resume.
