I love your idea! hope to see a lot of inputs I think that there is no better way to learn than from mistakes, and it will help so that no one else repeats them. Great idea!!!

Applied inadequately last year - only to 12 programs in and around chicago area and wisconsin due to personal reasons. Wasn't ECFMG certified at the time of applying. No step 3 scores by the interview time. Additionally, was looking for H1 sponsor.
