Probably as you said a better wording was needed. It is sometimes hard to translate feelings at x-moment in appropriate words. But you got my point. Thanks and GL.

@snowdoc...I prefer this form of rejection than those that try to sweeten it up. Just give it to me straight, not crap about how they get so many highly qualified candidates, etc.

I have 15 interviews. I got my first one within a few days since ERAS opened. I am only sharing this b/c some might think it's too early, but realistically I would suggest contacting programs. The sooner you do it the better. I know some of you might hate me, but my intention is to let you know that whatever misconception you have about it being "too early" is wrong. I am an IMG along with many of my friends who are graduating in 2015 who have interviews for FM. I know people who did not match last year and told me they had the feeling that it was "too early" to contact programs until it was too late. Most of my invites have started scheduling the first set of interviews the 2nd week of Oct and the latest one is Jan 15th.
I read some of your stories about the struggles you've had to go through to get this far. Please start contacting programs if you haven't gotten invites yet. Take care, and goodluck to you all.

@Imnop you base calling programs ( when known protocol is not to ) on what?
