Hey guys
I applied 2 days ago to 30 Preliminary IM and 20 Family Medicine.
I've got already 2 IM and 1 FM (IM in university programs).
So, people with only step 1 score are getting calls too, inspite of what a read on many forums; it was one of the reasons I did not start applying earlier, but I guess it's never too late.

there is no advantage to waiiting and applying i feel. apply with one score for now and then let them forward the step 2 when it comes.

Hi guys ,

I applied to 40 IM programs ,cred.-96/99/no us lors/no usce/not certified/2002 grad/need visa

got 2 interviews in NY St. Barnabas And Lincoln

2 rejections-Englewood-NJ.,Yale univ-CT

No response after that confused

,I think if u need visa u should be ecfmg certified when u apply.

I checked on scutwork,people say lincoln is not good.Anybody can give me any more input on this.
