How many interviews should one attend in order to stand a chance of matching? I imagine all of them, but current financial status doesn't allow much.

I would say wait and watch how many you are getting and from where .Once you have yor list of interviews that will be a better time to think about it .SOmetimes 15 are not enough and at times 1 is too many.

What about flying on a bat or swimming .Flying on a bat looks like a good idea unless the program refuses to provide a parking space for the bat.I will buy a bat before prices soar to a prohibitive level due to the upcoming match season.I recommend that everybody appllies for a bat flying license.

If you are applying for a couples match, take your gf with you. Believe me u wont even realize when the 10 hour journey ended. Always feel refreshed (although it depends on how hot she is)

i came acroos with an important information, on the Oct 31 in my home region (Transylvania) because of Halloweeen will be a great bats sale. Pay attention, the average blood consumption is 20m/gl, if you run out of blood the bat will metamorph in a wolf. Otherwise they run excellent, AC, DVD/Mp3 player, 2WD(wings drive), leather chair etc

bbb ..you too.
I am extemely sorry for forgetting your trusty broomstick.OH my gosh..How could i forget that.The last time was on plane in air i saw one beutiful lady riding on the boomstick.I coulde only catch a glimse of it as the broomstick overtook the plane in a ziffy.BUt what i remember is that the lady riding or driving the broomstick had a palmtop on her palm and she had an ERAS software window open in it.YEs ,yes ,yes ..i think i hav seen you bbb.
Vai ..thanks buddy for telling about the bat sale.I will certainly look forward to buying one if my bat cant fly..Although he has caught rabies ,he is becoming better now.The Vet says my bat will have to undergo two sessions of radiotherapy and he will be totally curedof his rabies..He has no symptoms at present except for some mild hydrophobia for which he is refusing to fly over water and always insists on flying over land area.
Before anybody asks how my bat caught rabies-well he was bitten by his brother in a small fight over some 10ml of blood.

I wouldn't mind giving you a ride- as long as you drive and pay me in full before the beginning of the trip. The charges are as follows-
Keep me laughing continuously(non-stop) thro the whole trip.
Guide me thro every one of my interviews thro my earpiece with smart and funny answers to every question I am asked thus assuring me a prematch offer in every program I apply to :-)
more charges will be added as and when I think of them :-)
