1st one is psych dreamer(i m posting thr thread in forum)

grad 1995/79/79/Pass/GC

1 year US internship
1 year psych USCE - univ program

I signed a pre-match with an East Coast Univ Prog.

very happy about not having to go to the match or to the crap-shoot scramble.

I was at 19 interviews and 6 rejections when I accepted.

psych experience/USCE is the key. do your best to get this
