mony,
if u do at least 3 months then it will help in majority of the programs...6 months wud be more than sufficent for all but some programs..as far as i undrstn the importance is given in the following descending order....externship, observership, research

Hi Pink

I did not get any phone call from Dr Brooks. I did receive an e-mail which she sent without me initiating the dialogue but there was no information on "Rank Order Tier" and the text was good but very non specific.

Keep posting

Apart from this I did received communications from programs that offered me a prematch but right now I don't think I will be able to post that Info.

I also gave a grand round presentation [As part of my current job] at one of the programs I interviewed with and did discuss some of the issues around Matching at that program during the weeks prior and post grand round.

Thanks

Hi pinktowel, my friend from last year match with the same number of interviews and responses. Im hoping to match also but havent heard from st. francis and albert einstein, though I got a response from texas tech el paso but from the chief resident. Did you also have a ranking email from them, thanks a lot and good luck to all of us! Smile

Pc replied but no ranking email from st. francis FM. The other two are from psych, by the way.
