Wow, you guys so cool! I must be a great feeling to reject offers.
Can I ask in which states the programs are?
Thanks. Best luck to you all!

very funny
i remember less than 2 months ago , poeple where complaining of not getting alot of interview invitations , but as i can see now , it seems like everybody has got alot of interviews at great places and have the guts to reject offers here and there

With all due humility, I would say that I dont have a lot of interviews.
Only that I was offered a prematch at a place I did not like...
This post is not intended to boast or gloat and I guess only time will tell whether what all I (and the others here) did was right or mere folly.

i dont mean anything against you or anyone else, and me myself have not only rejected prematches, but cancelled ivs because i didnt like the area where the hospital was, so those things do really happen, but i was just wondering how we could be in one extreme today and on the other tommorrow, thats it
good luck my friend

I am waiting to have one  . I only have a chance to get a prematch in one hospital as the program director told us he will be settling the position outside the match. 2 days ago the PC contacted me to tell me that they received my LOR. then added I will contact you soon. but nothing else so I am keep my hopes high. I am sick of waiting. I don't have the nerves to go through the match this year. even though I was told in two interviews that I will be ranked high in there list

do wat u want. if it is ur dream prog - then take it unless u seriously have visa issues. depends on how ur planning to rank. if this is going to be number 1-3 on ur list anyways then go grab it. if u were plannin to rank it below it ur h1 programs then think about it. if u already have significant research with u? wud the program still consider u in the match..

there is no exams in the afterlife (atleast that what I believe).
AS much as this thread is bugging me. since I am waiting for a prematch even in jail. but keeping refusing and you will give us (the weaker ones) more places
