i got 2 interviews. 1 from hartford, CT- life something community program and another from lubbock, TX -texas tech university.

  #8

I still dont have any interviews in Psychiatry and im wondering what is going on. is it true that in order to get an interview from a hospital you should email the director/program co ordinators and show them your interest and push them for an interview slot?

  #9

i got one more interview in conneticut.

yes for some programs it does help to call. a friend of mine did that for IM and got 2 more extra interviews this way.

  #10

Hi, I have an interview in Albany, does anyone know anything about the program??

Conneticut, Thats great!!!, I applied there but havent heard from them, I hope to get an interview!.


  #11

Another thing, are you still receiving invitations or rejections??

  #12

i got a few more rejections. i still have to take ck. dont know if i am ready.

  #13

  #14
