Dear Neuro-Fan-Friends,
I hope you all have had a nice holiday season!
I had the best holiday ever; I was offered a prematch that I accepted.
It is an integrated program so I 'll start my training next July! I am so happy!! Now I am going to cancel my iv-s so that others can get a chance to iv with really great programs like Hopkins and U of Chicago or Tufts.
Good Luck to everyone and have a Happy New year!!
Mufurc

Hey Bowwow,
Congratulations! 
Those are both great programs (I got the prematch in NY)! I agree with you I would choose UPenn over Miami, too. Of course this is only my very subjective opinion... Either way you will get an excellent training. Congratulations again!
Happy New Year!

Thanks. .congrats to you as well. May I ask which hospital in NY?
This is a pretty crazy year.. I would have preferred NY but I only got two interview from SUNY Brooklyn and Rochester which have not offered a prematch. I dont want to go to the match.

yingying, it would probably depend on the program, and things you have done after graduation. although i understand that its part of the screening criteria, and probably if the secretary sees that you're not a recent graduate, they take you out the list. i'm considering that since i only got 3 interviews and i graduated 2002. maybe... did you join the match this year?

I just started to review the books. I do not have enough time for it, so it may take me more time to finish reviewing the books.
How's your scores? old graduate? if you do not mind.

wait chuckmd, is that statistics correct.. well that would mean around 50% matching only..even less.... i thought the neuro match rate is higher than internal medicine...

Yes, guillermo thats the infoI participated in SF match last year, I didn't match because I wasn't certified at that time and I applied very late (November).The stats are as followsIMG registration 695IMG match 50%AMG match 93%Now, this year is going to be very different, because I think some people applied to neuro just as a backup, so maybe, maybe there's going to be more unfilled positions
And this is my only hope this year, I don't know if I would participate in the next match. Since this year I didn't have any IV
I know is a long shot, but is not over untill the fat lady sings!!!!!!!!!!
