thanks for the reply muzammil. you have great credentials, probably the last 2 factors are important. specially the LORs, (which you often get through USCE...) the best of lucks...

To my knowledge, NYP (Columbia) is one of very few programs that sponsors H-1. And they just blew that precious opportunity away Funny thing is that NYP (Columbia) is only sponsoring H-1, they do not sponsor J-1 according to their web page

Programs have til Jan 31 to decide number of positions to put for match.. if they are withdrawing some positions- it usually means they are offering prematch to someone or rarely the funding at departmental level is not very good (usually they would reduce the # of seats but not take away all the preliminary)..

Do you guys know how long we should wait until we can start to worry? Do programs continue to send out rejections/interviews in late November? Basically I am asking if there is a certain date that after this passes, we shouldn't expect any more IV's...?

it is eerily quiet for me this week except for the call from howard. with only 3 iv's, of course i am worried but i just say to myself that all i need is one program to accept me. so i will try and quiet my mind and comfort my soul with prayers. good luck all.

I just e-mailed 22 programs to inquire about the status of my application. let's hope that they are still reviewing applicants and I don't get any e-mails saying that they are finished for the interview season...
