Seems like a chicago program. Well you can email them and ask them to put you on hold but frankly speaking if this is what they had to say so early then i doubt saying anything would help. Actually these days they have so many complete applications meeting their criteria, selecting among those is also a big task. But yuou are still a fresh grad good scores, dont worry. My rule is i apply only to those places where i exceed their minimum criteria, and trust me there are much more programs for u. Dont be disheartened by these rejections. Its all part of the game.

I personally think that its always one's right to ask for further clarification. It's very busy time for them and sometimes confusions do arise. so, just give them a call and ask about it, as I think there is nothing to lose now so go for it........

Don't lose heart shumaila, with your credentials, you will get enough interviews. be ready for them when they come. Maybe apply to few more programs in the neighbouring states as well.

shumaila... take it easy. its tough, but remember that all you need is ONE successful IV call, then all the remaining 22 can reject you right, left, and centre, and you wouldn't care...! would not having the CS results at the time of applying hurt an IMGs chances badly...? my scores are 99 / 98 in the other two. and i'm applying to peds programs only, as i have a residency in my country in tht field, and so i want to pursue only tht career.
