I didn't. What questions should I ask the unfilled programs tomorrow? It should be as simple,as efficient as possible. Any suggestion, pls.

Congrats Sar..

dear Vancomycin...it was Brooklyn hospital Center n not Brookdale...Well like i said b4 Life does't end here..those who did't match should give it their best shot at scramble tomorrow.... Never give up anything b4 trying for it.... Get all ur documents ready..get good night sleep..log onto nrmp website 5 minutes b4 noon when the list would b released...this way u can just refresh the screen at noon instead of logging on at noon coz server will b busy n u might miss crucial first 4-5 minutes..take a look at list of programs that interest u...tell ur friends to start calling programs n in mean time u can apply to 30 additional programs...then call those programs again where u will apply tomorrow..start calling the programs first where u applied n didt get any interview or u interviewed but didt match with them.......

all seats would b filled within 4-5 hours of release of unfilled seats list barring some FP programs..

I think the only way one can improve their CV is to get some kinda hands on US clinical experience..this year USCE has played a very significant role[ it always does though]..but one can't improve their scores anymore so best thing is to go for externships, observerships...u might even have to pay for it...but believe me it will b all worth it in the end[ we all have invested so much money in the whole USMLE process so lil more ain't gonna make big difference]....get research if one is thinking of applying to big university programs ..hope this helps...if anyone has any more questions feel free to ask...good luck
