hi guys

its time to do a bit serious thinking here, wondering if any news frm neurology programs is comin thru or guruchus have hacked our neurology server.... needless to say i am getting bit paranoid here afraid of getting ataxic and aphasic due to guruchus interfering with my brain; need help with more info frm you guys to fight these evils with us standing in unison, GL to you all for this coming week for interviews, keep in touch bye

  #10

yeah im getting paranoid too.. so if anyone could share their experiences with matching in neuro. its getting awfully silent. haven't heard from any program. not even a letter saying they have accepted my application. thanks thanks. im planning to email the programs by next week. or shoud i do it this week?

  #11

hi gulliermo,

i understand we all are affected here by guruchus trying to hack our neurology server which shares a common software with love island. but we need to be persistent here and work out by sharing information indeed. I have got email re receipt of application for prelim medicine program... i could easily recognize guruchu virus attached to this mail; neways i am hopeful that we would fight back.....

  #12

got rejection from Mayo Neurology Program...

  #13

got rejection from univesity of florida, gainsville

  #14

Not surprisingly, I have applied also to some neurology programs.

My first rejection in Neuro, from Mayo.

To gulliermo, when did u apply and when did u receive the rejction?

sept 12. just got the rejection today..

  #16

hi

its seems that this week is sounding no more positive but i think that programs are receiving huge no. of applications as confirmed by the emails sent by the programs; but its still the start of season and waitful watching seems to the best option; i am working on anti guruchu software which might help us in better functioning of our neurology server; hope to come out with a solution here; till then GL guys

  #17

Hi guys
I applied to Neurology too. Iīve applied to 24 Neuro progs and 26 IM prelim programs on sept 3. I havenīt heard anything, no rejects no interviews inv. just two letter of received application!!!
this is so stressfull.

  #19

  #20

thanks..how bout u guys? any news from other programs.

  #21

hi

it has been another dry day for me when i have been craving to hear from programs but hope that time to booze isn't far; GL all

  #22

Hello Guys!

I am applying for neuro, too. I am sending in my application this weekend... Little delay with the paperwork...

Anyways, those who got rejected from Mayo did you have research experience? I have good board scores (95/95/passed) , papers and 4 years of US research experience but graduated in 2002 :-(( and NO US clinical experience... :-(((((((

So I am a bit nervous as you can imagine, your thoughts are more than welcome!!!

Thanks, Mufurc

Hi Mufurc

Your credentials are really good; don't be nervous and apply asap; do you have research experience in neuroscience...

  #24

hello

it seems that week ended on a quite dull note atleast for me.. (not trying to be pessimistic at all)

I'm not sure what's puzzling PD'S minds this time or if this is the usual pattern for neurology interviews or are they testing our patience which is a key to become a good neurologist ......our neurology server is still slow without any technical faults and guruchu invasion has been ruled out...

its still early , so its difficult to find an answer..

Any suggestions welcome to make our wait less tiring and more intersting..

GL for next week

Hi Delusion,

Thanks for the encouraging words! My research is on GBM therapy and I am working in a neurosurgery dept.... It is not hard-core neuroscience; it's closer to immunology but it is neuro-related.
What do you think? Have you done any research? Are you an IMG?-I am... Best, Mufurc
