Cannot find the thread there I used to follow it regularly though.
I know but recently I feel it has become inactive recently,maybe its silence before explosion and may all explode with happiness from interviews they want.

thanks for reply

UMNDJ- IMG unfriendly but u never know
Creighton IMG friendly and H1 program director is Indian
Nassau J-1 Not IMG friendly but also not unfriendly I hope you got the meaning

UMNDJ is J-1 program

  #262

Another late applicant 10/24. Mainly because I only have my S1 score available. I applied to 37 programs. Let's see how it goes!!!

Hi guys,

I'm an IMG from India, currently in a PhD program in the US. 99/99/CS passed/NoUSCE/1 publication. So far, no good news, lotsa bad news. 40 apps, all university, 4 declined (UTMB Galveston, Toledo, Med Col Georgia, U Miss). U Tennessee Memphis sent me an email that says "we'll consider you if a spot is available".....something like that. Dont know if I shud consider that as wait-listed. Unlike other programs, they did not "wish me luck in the future" so I'm thinking maybe its still possible.

Anybody heard from u Rochester? I called up y'day and they said that all invitations had been sent by regular mail....didn't say when, but that if I dont receive one, then I'm not considered (obviously, DUH......).

Guess the next two weeks shud be fun. Best wishes to everyone!smiling face

  #266

you have excellent credentials, you did not even get 1 prelim interview? did you click both cat and prelim?

  #267

Yes, i clicked both And thats whats driving me mad. I've almost given up and started thinking about how to strengthen my app for next year.

BTW, any repeat applicants this year? Hows it going compared to last year? What did you do (or not do) to increase your chances?

Edited by BitterPill on 10/28/06 - 11:56 AM

  #268

yes, i selected both prelim and cat. But still, no iv's. thats what driving me mad I've already started thinking about reapplying next year. BTW, are there repeat applicants this year. What did you guys do (or not do) to increase your chances?

  #269

Anyone from Chicago metropolitan with IV for prelim, or Cat?

  #273

  #274

Hello there.
Count me in.
IMG 6 years after grad - applied 90 places - all prelims - 2 "offers" - nassau (numc) and easton (Pa). 89/90. This is a second match for me - feels less promising somehow. Good luck to everybody.



  #275

Congratz, epiploic!

Does Nassau (numc) sponsor visa? how about Easton?
