0 - ArchivalUser - 10-08-2007 HI PEOPLE, SORRY TO BE AWAY FOR A LONG TIME. I GOT A PRELIM CALL FROM utmb GALVESTON LAST FRIDAY. SO FAR FOR ME 3 REJ/2CALLS---1 P, 1 C( THET DIDN'T SPECIFY THOUGH) ANY BODY GOT MULTIPLE CAT IVS 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 congrats kqbank utmb is a great place all the best for your interview new day lets see what comes up today 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 all the guys who have applied to surgery is there any program yet to download your application. in my case harlem hospital yet to download mine yours? 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 same here I think Harlem decided not to d/l applications these year from IMG Well i am thinking will this make a diff .... I have applied 73 prog and i have already got 11 rej ... interesting isnt it shall i stiill hope i guess not Anyways good luck guys 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 today i read that harlem isnt a great place anyways any inputs on that medic dont worry someday u will get interviews. why dont u just think this way. all the places that would have rejected you have done that. what remains are places where u will be called. common guys thought we apply to so many places we expect to inteview only at 20 odd right 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 guys it will be nice if everybody contributes especially guys who know a lot about match and other things bidd, randy, aman, kqbank, hoto and everybody else 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 hi cs verysoon, I am not well these days. This match always takes toll on my health. Well thanks for asking for my comments. To be honest this year is different. Too many applicants even for GS. I got three rejections yesterday one after the other. I dont see much hope and dont be surprised if u dont find me in the forum after some time. I think bidd is doing great with good number of interviews. I applied to programs with my criteria however I think there is a hidden criteria even for these. Good luck to all in these coming days. One thing is for sure, if ure a recent graduate, 93+ then you are in GS no doubt about it. Many of us are going to scramble thats for sure. 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 very scarry to hear your comments randy. i know about ur rejections yesterday and i am really sorry about it. even i am thinking of leaving this whole thing soon if there isnt anything encouraging. just hoping and praying that things turn around soon for everyone. 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 relax guys. stay cool( though i myself is not) i just talked to my friend who just got into gs last year category. he said most of the iv/ rej come after 1 st nov ( as for amg dean letter get uploaded) or late oct. and most iv take place in dec . since there are many seats for med, prog have many iv dates and send iv early, but for Gs only few seats even in uni prog. so they offer only two three dates. which are mostly in dec and january. 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2007 thanks for the info anothergoljan .........hope so |
