Hi I am an IMG kind of worried. I apply ONLY to Ob/Gyn I apply early as everyone advise me to, but to the date I've receive 6 rejections, and 2 interviews, I applied to 48 programs. Should I apply for something else, or should I give it more time. Are interviews still going to come? PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!
P.S. All the hospitals that aren;t going to give you an interview send a rejection notification?

Hi Lara, as far as I know, AMGs apply to just a few programs. IMGs have to apply to as many as they can. The "necessary number" in unknown but I thinks around 80-100 prog, depending greatly on your credentials.

I think you should apply more but check carefully the deadline/requirements of each prog

good luck

Catmd 04, thanks for your honesty. Do you have any idea when should I lose hope in waiting for answers from the hospitals? Even though I only apply to 48 programs
I first send e-mails to each one and made sure that they accepted IMGs and that my credentials are good enough .

HI Lara, I'm in the state of waiting Ivs like you, so I dont have any idea when we should lose hope. Maybe we should not wink

Good luck to all of us.

Hi purposedriven

I have matched to an OBGYN prog - as I interviewed only for them. Any idea why NRMP takes three days to tell where you matched rather than at the same time when they let you know that you are matched. Do they perform some shuffing with matched candidates?

Lurking RN here who discovered this site searching for symptoms of ASA OD in peds pt. Good luck to you all! I'm in awe of the skills and knowledge you guys/gals need for licensing. Have you tried Canadian Hospitals for residency? We need you too!

Hey purpose, congrats for the TY!

I will submit my application in October also... I have a few questions:

1. Why did you choose for TY instead of a PGY-1 in General Surgery to reapply later for OG?

2. Did you have anyone calling the PD in your behalf to recommend they give you an interview?

3. Who gave you the LOR?

I am in the middle of my research fellowship, and need to retake the CS, but passed all the rest. Have completed residence already and graduated in 2000.

I appreciate your feed back, I am feeling really down for some moments...

Thank you.

Hey werther
I am going for obgyn but also applied to preliminary year/TY, just in case....but have only 1 IV for PY so far and 14 for obgyn
I think most hospitals save their TY/PY positions to their own programs......and only give away the ones that last....
come to the obgyn match forum
how are your iv??grin
