0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 yes those are stong points. 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 one thing i have seen this year is that there are a few programs that have visa issues and they have not invited any IMG with visa need. other than that the usual visa sponsors have called as many IMGs with visa needs as they usually do. actually the criteria changes for different programs man, for some its no visa, for some its fresh graduate and for some its being american graduate. so cant stick on one thing. 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 u make a good point cs and so does kqbank. if i get a prelim with a H1, anybody would grab it, but with a J1 i would definately think very hard about it and look at other options. if i am absoulutely stuck...then...i dunno...i still might not take it. its difficult to make hypothetical decisions. i guess when and if the time comes, itll depend on my state of mind (read desperation). 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 rightly said splinter. in the end we all may make crazy decisions just because we are desperate. LOL 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 i have heard ppl shifting form j1 prelim to j1 cat. i belive seeing cometition in sugery we should not be choosy in prelim and cat. 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 i got rejection fomr methodist hopsital NY recived just now 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 i havent applied there. do they take IMGs muzammil? 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 well are we gonna get anything more today? doubtful. 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 didnt apply to methodist hospital. wasnt someone on here doing a PGy1...is it sush?? i remember reading somewhere in these 90 odd pages. and he/she was not getting much luck with the interviews either. so i dont konw what these pd's are looking for. 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-08-2007 i remember reading that post but that someone never divulged his program. |
