Hey Joel,
To answer your question: I interviewed at 15 urology programs. Applied to gen surgery but cancelled all my interviews because of financial issues and because gen surgery is nowhere as fun as urology.

  #453

good luck to both of you!

  #454

maverick: how much money did you spend traveling for IV's?

sustenance: which hospitals did you cancel IV's?

  #455

Maverick, if you want to enter surgery this year, rank prilim also.

One my friend, with 12 IV for urology did not get match this year.

  #457

  #458

IS ANYONE HERE CONSIDERING DOING A SECOND LOOK? OR HAS DONE ONE SO ALREADY?

  #459

Hey Mav, I can see you didn't like much Palmetto SC, or?

Greetings.smiling face

  #461

hey abraham, well the place was fine. not my top 3, but not my bottom 3 either. good program. u were asking about the IV so that was what i remember other than few details. how have ur IVs been

pretty confusing making the ranklist. not putting prelims as dont wanna go thru uncertainty, esp with J1 visa, which reduces chances of 2 yr fellowships.
