great thread friends... this will help a lot of people to realize they have chance and encourage them regarding what matters the most; to give the best at the interviews (besides coming out of the shadows in this forum, since most of the members are not 99ers)...

I agree. I think it will help organize some of the groups here if we started posting in similar thread based on boards score. I started one for peopel that were getting in the 80s. Hopefully, it will open up some members. Those with similar credentials can post here......... Good luck to everyone..........Im sure we'll all match

Hi everybody, I am glad this thread is catching on... Just to let you know it is possible with our scores to get IVs, I have a close friend with similar scores who got 2 IVs last year and in university hospitals at that.......so let's not loose hope....

I was thinking abt posting mine here but now i think you wouldnt accept me either. Problem is people like me n priya dont fit into iceage's group either. No one wants to accept us...Priya lets make our own group "The Average Group"

Hello all I am also a low scorer, grad 2003/79/83/pass/ step3 nov 15 all first attempt, + MS Biochemistry, publication, USCE and US LOR's Applying for OB/Gyn so far 22 programs, no answer from any, my biggest concern is that I will be hopeful unless I get a rejection. Are the programs requiered to send you a rejection letter? or is not mandatory? if so... when should we get that? thanks for your help
