Exactly! You're putting it nicely by saying 'unlikely'. I'll just go ahead and say it's 'stupid'. Not the progs, but the jerk who started this. [whoever, wherever, I don't even remember.] Thanks a lot, mukho, you angel.

My 2 cents:
European (Spain) IMG
Step 1: 98
Step 2: 99
CS: Pass on 1st attempt.
1 month observership at Baylor/TCH.
Applied to 30 programs, received 10 IV offers, attended 7 due to time restraints (Jacobi, Maimo, SUNY Downstate, Georgetown, CHOM, Miami Children's and Cincinnati Children's).
Matched at Cincinnati Children's (1st choice) 
Thank you Prep4usmle!!

Mukho,
I seriously admire you .. you rock girl
I have checked you post in the match thread and i was qiute impressed by the fact that you get 5 prematch offer . I am curious to the secret behind it ! i have no doubt that you have such an great appealing personality that programs could not resist the idea of having you as part of thier team

Creighton University doesn't have its own pediatric program. However, they have a joint program with University of Nebraska Medical Center. They officially only offer J1 visa.

Mukho, Thanks for this. Wanted to ask you, Why did you not apply at CHOP? I know, it's an insanely INSANELY competitive prog. I believe they only have 2 or 3 IMGs in their entire large size prog. But, I think with your scores and prior Peds degree from home country plus personality, you had a more-than-decent shot.
Of course, the prog you have matched at is also one of the best, and many of the progs on your list are actually quite competitive as well, but just curious as to why you did not apply to the very best.

Following is the eligibility criteria for applying to CHOP:
To Apply You Must:
* Be a graduate of a U.S. or Canadian medical school
* If not a graduate of a U.S. or Canadian medical school, have completed one year of formal training in a U.S. hospital
* Passed USMLE Parts I and II
* Apply through the ERAS System
 
Hey, i have no regrets, ranking wise CHOP is # one, I got # 2...more than fine by me

Hey mukho my paper work is frozen too. I registered at usmleforum today as very few people here were posting about my DC license issue. There I found a post saying we can book a visa interview date with the vfs based on the premium processing receipt number (Not that I am anywhere close to that either!!!).
About my posting less in the peds forum...whenever I visit a post to give my opinion...you are always there and bang right !!!!! I will make my presence felt now by saying..."yea mukho is right !"

Hey guys,
Good to see some posts on the peds forum. I read Mukho's list of program that she applied to, and I think it is pretty comprehensive. Out of the top of my head there is a a few more programs that do interview/take IMGs:
St. John Hospital, Detroit MI
Georgetown University in Washington, DC
Texas Tech Univ at el Paso, TX
University of Denver, CO (This is quite competitive but there are some IMGs in the program. I heard from a friend that matched there that sometimes doing a rotation over there increases your chances of interviewing. I think this is appliable to most other programs at well)
There are some NY/NJ programs that are missing. Most NY/NJ programs have a very large IMG residents group.
