Scheisse! I haven't even managed to finish downloading the files that I received over the weekend. Since I can't get to the internet while I down load - it's a major PITA!!

Good luck everyone

I don't have any previous experience on this process but I think it is all about some basic criteria that they set, isn't it? I noticed that some programs put some serious restrictions in their website (like "you have to be ECFMG certified by the time of application") and if you don't have that, it doesn't matter if you are the best in the world - you will be automatically rejected (possibly by a secretary - not even by a program coordinator or PD). Other restrictions may apply. As bbb pointed out, they have ~700 applications in a couple of days (Friday and today, mostly)! How can they be so quick in their evaluation? It has to be some quick criteria. Just hang in there. There are lots of other places. It is just the beginning.

as far as i know, VCU requires applicant 's graduation is within 4 years. Probably they kick out applicants by this criteria very soon.

  #12

vancomycin - they'll regret it some day... cheer up, it's just the beginning... you said your USMLE transcript wasn't uploaded yet... so did they rejected without even looking at your scores?

  #19

It is their loss when they dont invite you... why worry... keep faith
