Too many applicants - about 250 more than this time last year.

Believe me wally it has been very difficult.
I am in a position with very few interviews, where I am fearing I may not even get Matched.....I think for this year and may be even past( I dont know), my scores are average and I am an old grad which is a big problem.....
I am praying for things to fall in place and getting mentally prepared to think what can I do if I dont match.

arizona wave whats your year of grad?and how many i.vs have you got so far?i think the main reason is lots of applicants,that too extremely well qualified ones just coming over and going thro the pain of residency all over again.most of them are old grads.plus one comes he or she will recomends their spouse ,collegues from same school.so that way in the bulk of applicants they are just choosing some one they recommend.
people have done various feilds of speciality,but its become like some sort of fashion statement to just keep earing degrees.many changing feilds taking up i.m and paeds though they have trained in some other feilds.
