1 IV and 1 reject out of 33 IM programs. don't know if i should call them or not. but asked by emails and got automatic mail response that the applications are still being reviewed and to wait. guys....lets keep our hopes high and the game is not over yet. if u r thinking to apply more, be sure to email the programs asking if they r still accepting the application, few replied me that they r no longer accepting any new application, even though their application deadline is not reached yet. God has a purpose for each of us and He knows what's best for us. God bless ya guys

a lot of applications sent out this year. it behooves us to send them out EARLY. it might be a lesson for those trying to match next year, be sure to do it. i have 11 IVs right now, but i'm not expecting very much more, as most places are filled up on IV appointments. you still might get lucky for an IV spot that was dropped by someone else.

hi everybody, i just took my step 3 yesterday, whew what an exam, i just hope i pass.....just to let you know that there is hope, i received 6 ivs so far and with my creds even i still can't believe it..... what i believe is key is to have a positive attitude, to research the programs you apply to and to apply early.......

Hi all,
I am an old IMG,2002 graduate with low scores and in the interim I had an opportunity to do observership in pediatrics and I will now be completing 4 months of observership.....I have also got an LoR from my boss and have updated it in ERAS. Looks like it is not helping me much, but i am trying to do whatever possible to get in there....any suggestions?

anamgarcia - are you dranagarcia? Did you just change your log in name?
I am starting to apply now - also for ObGyn - also low scores ( no matter how well I was doing at the UW questions at home - i always scored low during the steps). I am also an old grad - spent too much time in research. I wonder if all that research will help in anyway, considering I jeopardized my exam performance from not having time to prepare - especially for Step 1 and allowed years to pass by in research.

Well... The most incredible miracle has just been granted to me.
I am sharing this with everyone not to gloat, but so that you can all hang in there and never give up hope. Pray a lot and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals....
Going into last week, I only had 1 IV with many, many rejections, and a few programs "on hold". Monday night, I received a tip from a PGY-2 at the hospital where I work(my #1 choice), that an Intern had resigned. I told her that I would start tonight if they would let me. She proceeded to send the PD an email informing him of my interest. I approached the PD on Wed. morning after grand rounds to let him know that I had applied to his program and was very interested in an IV. Later that same afternoon, I received a phone call and was invited to IV the next day. I attended my IV in scrubs after working the night shift. The IV went extremely well and we got along great. He was a very nice and open person and told me that he had to give it some thought, and that he wanted to speak to one of the faculty members who has worked with me in the past. On Friday, I sent him a thank you email telling him what a pleasure it was to meet with him and how sure I was that I would have no problem catching up to the other interns.... Approximately 2 hours later, he called me to welcome me into the program!!! I will sign my contract tomorrow.
The way that I see it is that this was meant for me. My stars have aligned and I was at the right place at the right time. My prayers and those of my family have surely been answered. My message to all is hang in there and always keep the faith.
Good luck to all.
