Applied 38 patho and 45 FM. Gonna go sell plasma at local bank so I don't break the bank!!! I think they should have a system where you can earn points towards prizes like med books or equipment for what it costs to apply. Had to laugh. My brother (engineer) asked how soon do you get reimbursed for airfare to interviews? I laughed and said I will have to take out a 2nd mortgage on my house to cover applications, airfare, rental car, and misc. expenses. If only they (non-med) knew!

I agree too. (bbb, I visited Stuttgart quite a few times while I was there) I miss it very much, but at least I brought a piece of Europe home with me. I married a German.

Wow! That's wonderful!!!!
 
Good for you! I went to college in VA.... Great place, nice winters, humid summers, but by now, the humidity must have gone down a lot. Ahhhhhh, Virginia. Haven't been there for 13 years.

I take it back. Now it's up to 89, because I'm stressing out. Did some further research and hopefully these three more will prove to be effective.
Edit: Just thought I'd add this because I think it's sort of funny:
I feel like I need to ask myself the CAGE questions about applying for residency.
Have you tried to cut down on your residency applications?
Yes.
Are you annoyed when people ask you about your residency application?
Yes.
Do you feel guilty when you apply for more programs?
Yes.
Do you ever wish for an eye-opener to get you started in the morning?
Well, if it's a positive one, then yes.

25 Neuro 27 IM preliminary ...
Might not be enough... Thinking about applying for more... remote areas.... neuro is mostly linked to big academic centers no real community setting, meaning less options...
?  Why do I always have to fall in love with something nearly imposible???
PS: I LOVE the CAGE questions... ...getting the eye-opener....

hi everyone...i know i m gettin a bit paranoid abt this but when someone says tht apply on sept 1...do they mean 00:00 sept 1 or office timings sept 1(after 8-9 in the morning)...
also...this sept 1,2,3 is a long weekend...does tht mean tht our applications will b transmitted on 4th sept?or will ecfmg be working on the weekend?
