Hi to all those with low scores let's help one another by posting our IVs here.

My creds:

76/84/CS pass/need visa/ 2004 grad

No IV yet, still hopeful that I will get some........

  #2

same boat with multiple attempts, but i have research, publications, volunteering, etc. just had a tough time with exams due to medical reason, but afraid no prorgam dircector will even give it a chance.

  #3

I have high scores, with a good CV and 2006 grad, and nothing but 4 rejections. Getting weary

  #4

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 grin

  #20

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
