Statistics for an average community hospital: 3000 applications/ 200 interviews/ 15 positions
More IMGs are scoring an average of 95, than ever before.
In this intensely competitive environment, how can one get ahead? If one does not have a score of 95, how could he/ she still stay competitive? What about those who graduated in the 1990's?
Who better to answer this question, than the program directors themselves.
At the upcoming IMG seminar on August 8th at the Kaplan Test Center, current Residency Program Directors and Senior Faculty Physicians will disclose how they analyze your application. What criteria do they use to select an IMG for their programs? What kind of information in the ERAS application gets them interested in you, even if your scores are low? What type of Letters of Recommendation excite them enough to invite you for an interview? How, a personal statement could make or break your prospects of getting residency?
Don't miss this rare opportunity to learn how program directors think! Once you understand the perspective of a program director, you can give them what is expected and compete smartly and effectively.
