I thought that it was a good #, but seems that I'm getting short... I choose location wise, just don't think I can affort to travel too much... so cities with several programs are my answer...
31 is not enough for an IMG. it may be expensive but vs. the risk of losing 1 year and reapplying to 30 progs again i think it is worth applying to more. with 31 progs to get even 5 interviews would be stretchin it unless u have 99s with usce, etc.

Btw... what are ur credentials apurva?? it is never too much. the more the merrier.

I don't think it's necessary to apply to so many places, like more than 80, if you really choose the right programs, meaning the programs where you really have a chance. I'm applying to35 IM and 10 FM and I'm gonna do this after I get my latest publication, meaning during the last week of sept and I don't think I'm gonna be late. But there is something that each of us has to consider very carefully - the number of programs and the time. Good luck to everyone!
