Tocket and lillny, congrats. I am very happy for you guys. I have 7 IV in other specialties with low scores. I am not sure if 7 IV is enough for a person like me who is not sure about his interview skills.
Tocket where in Europe did you work? I am from Germany.

I practiced anesthesiology, Emergency and Intensive care Medicine in Vienna/Austria for 5 years. University-based programs were very impressed by my application and many of them called me for IVs. Some of them offered me prematches.

hi lillyni
Could you share your other creds, besides scores.. I am trying to find the prelim spot this year, and my scores higher then yours, but not many IV for prelim... Which region in US did you apply?
Thanks

beefoxy,
i have 1 yr clinical experience in chicago doin externship, and 5 months observership (after my insurance ran out and couldnt afford more. i couldnt get a research position) in NYC. i was able to get few LOR's, but used the ones from the chief of surgery and anesthesia. studyin for step 3 now, but ecfmg certified.
I applied widely, some 120 programs, 30 anesthesia, 28 prelim im, 20 prelim sx, and transitional. I applied to every state on the east coast, ohio, ill. have most of my iv's in ny though.
about a month back i email the programs that i though i had a chance, i heard back good or bad from 70% of them.
GL, hope that helped
