Have you been called in for interview? I got their invitation today. Can't find much about the program on the net though.
Help please. Someone please tell something about the program.
Thanks

Yeah I just got it today. I applied for Preliminary. But their website says nothing about the program.

I got rejected from there, may be because I still don't have step1 score or a clinical experience. would you mind mention your credentials.
I don't mean to discourage you but I red a horrible experience about that hospital I don't remember if it was in this forum or another one. but the cons were mainly that the hospital lies in a poor crime filled neighborhood and that the hospital is underequiped and understaffed. patient population is very poor and mostly drug addicts. gun shot wounds are daily experience (for me thats a good chance for a surgeon)

I've heard all sorts of such crazy things about the program as well. If anyone knows anything else please do share. This forum is too slow. People answer Qs once in a while and it feels so empty. Anyways my credentials are: IMG, fresh graduate, 1 US LOR, Step 1: 99/248 , CS 99/251, CK: passed.
