it's still early, october will be busy, and it's only oct 4th. i think i went overkill on the IVs (72 programs). i got nervous. i have a good overall application, the only blemish was caribbean school and low step 2ck.

well seems like we don't have too many chances in OB/GYN.
Oct 8 and no invitations yet... but I am stubborn and refuse to apply to other specialties. I KNOW I want o be an OB then why should I apply to IM? or any other thing for that matter? nothing yet I am going really crazy!

hi...all, just wanna encourage all low scorers to just hang in on there and trust God and He can make things happen for all of us. those of us with iv or no iv so far, don't loose hope. lets keep each other in prayer.
my credentials - 77 (2nd attempt), 87 (2nd attempt), CS passed (1st attempt). ecfmg certified september. step 3 in nov end. 2004 June grad, 3 yrs IM/FP residency home. no usce/publications.
Applied 30 programs (its really a headache for me to apply ..as many replied back they don't consider candidates with fails and simply unable to apply those who wants usce). i am still looking for extenship, if anyone know who offer extenship, pls. kindly let me know, thanks.
1 int (thanks to Jesus) at brookdale uni, brooklyn, NY. no rejections.
any advice is welcome. only i know one thing, its not helpful worrying, but prayers in faith can be helpful. i know i should have tried harder with my scores. but there's no use blaming myself/others. so i might as well enjoy my journey in this match. so i took a chance and apply....
