Good point PCP. If I could afford to apply to all programs i would. hehe.

Does anyone know which programs are not very IMG friendly or are extremely competitive? I know Emory, Rush, NYP, Arizona programs, Mass Gen, Harvard, Yale are hard to get into (even for those with 99s). Any other programs out there to avoid?
Trying to shorten my list here. =)

My fellow Psychiatry aspirants.....fight as if its a matter of life or death..fight as if it`s the last battle you`ll ever fight..don`t save your ammunition for the future.....don`t fight a half hearted battle.....applying to 50 Psych programs is enough if they are chosen wisely.....1 interview is enough if performed to the level of perfection....we don`t know our destiny but there is no harm giving our best...May THE FORCE be with you.
