guys and gals, I need some advice on my next iv at a IM program, I have checked for both preli- and IM when i applied for this program, however now i am more interested in preli-. Should I tell them that I want to be only considered for preli-? will this decrease my chances?
Kingofke, what was your experience at preli iv? or anyone else for that matter. This will be my first preli iv.

I had an interview at one place for categorical IM. At the start of the interview with PD, when asked about my future interest : I replied Neurology. He said isn't it require a prelim and i said yes it does and i would like that. but i wasnt sure at the time of applying. he said ok he will rank me for both categorical and prelim. then i insisted that i would much like a prelim and a prematch for that (hehe, that was probably pushing it a bit, anyways i felt like being honest and the chief resident in the tour told us to go ahead and ask for a prelim if you want) , He then asked me about my neuro interviews and then ask me if i have been given a positive response by any of them and are there any prematches in neuro (obviously not) and how will it effect my chances. In the end he said stay in touch and let me think about it and i will let you know (he wrote down everything on my evaluation paper.
I have actually contacted him after offer of a prematch from another program because i would prefer the above mentioned program but havent heard from him yet. That is my experience as it was and you could infer what you want.

Kingofke,
Thank you for sharing. Wish you the best for your prelim- prematch. I know some of the programs like to make their decisions on prematch offers at the end of Dec., so you may hear from them then, if not now.

I have prilim and advanced neuro in GWU (George Washington University), how is the program, and has anybody had any IV experience.
the other question because i did not know about advance position application i have applied to cat and preliminary,,, does it affect my chance of getting the position, what should i say if they ask me why i have applied to both programs (prim and Cat). this fact to be added to that they have rejected my IM at first place than latter when i told them that i got Neuro, they accepted to give me IV in IM,,, but the program coordinator said to ask them if i still want the cat,,, is it wise to ask for cat,,, or just go for prelim, because the neuro called them to give me IV in IM.
your opinion appreciated

I have just recieved an interview call for PRELIM IM medcine. it is from Jersey City Medical Center (for those who would have posted that let us know the name). The email had ALL the dates for January available. Discussing with my friend we have come to conclusion that some programs have not planned for january interviews and will be opening up interviews for january. My friend had a email from a program in chicago which said they have him on hold for interviews that they will open for january.

interview invitation from University of Toledo neuro, couldnt take it as i am not available on that date and so am again out on the waiting list for the next dates. by the way on response to my query the program co-ordinator said that they have filled their prematches for neuro and what i have heard that its 2 of the 3 positions they have and so they will probably take 1 seat to the match. I dont know if its just me, but it didnt felt weird saying No to them after getting this little piece of information.
