Only one interview so far and one wait list (which really means no interview). Applied since Sept 17. 4 rejections and 90 programs applied. Have heard nothing for the last 2 weeks. No rejections, no interviews. Very, very, very nervous.
My credentials:
87 (2 attempts)/78/CS will take in 2 weeks
J1 Visa needed
no US LORs
one year USCE
not ECFMG certified yet.
This waiting and uncertainty is killing me.

I think its waste of time applying to TY cause its even more difficult than preliminary year....In fact I am even mad about this preliminary year thing because I have applied to some programs and later received an email saying that they no longer offer preliminary year positions....but I have not received my money back from eras....
Well, hope you get more IVs this week..Morristown is a great place to live!!
Good luck!

Hello people!! Where is everyboby??
Ikea, I'm sorry I didn't call u but i arrived really late from Detroit and had a lot of work home....could not get out the hole weekend. The IV was very good! Its an excellent program Henry Ford, in my opinion.
I have a new IV now in Rochester/NY. Still hoping to hear from Thomas Jefferson though...Do u know if they are still calling?
I'll be around every night, so we can chat! Show up!
See u!!
