u right Justice.was also wonderin wea r the poll votes 4 stony_meadow.rolling eyes m sure he will vote.He is the boss for the thread u knowgrin
are you guys goin to apply for both Cat and Prelim for each prog or some Cat n some Prelim? my first tym n dont know wt r the advs n disadvs of applying 4 both at same tym in each prog.

___________________
Yes!I can!

  #12

shockedchill out guys, i started this thread (dt dnt mean am d boss tho'), so y wld i not vote? need to make a couple of clarifications by next week b4 pollin...and yea, interviews cn be added much later.

...i heard from senior members that its more advisable to apply to cat and prelim simultaneously, tho' am not sure how exactly dat works.

  #13

I will be applying only for categoricals... I have heard that it may sound stupid from the applicants side to apply for both... It may sound as the applicant is undecided...

  #14

stony, how can you add new entries to the poll (IVs) if you can't vote twice?

  #15

hey vras, i came across this data u seek some time ago, though i cnt remember wer exactly of if it was for last year or the year b4 dat or both but i rmember it was a depressing percentage of applicants (dont remember exact %) and this included all non-us imgs i.e. those with/without green card.

...sorry guys, just realized (after voting myself) that u cant add interviews and so the poll has (once again) been appropriately edited; we can do another 4 dat one much later...gluck!
