I received that answer from all universities & they shared the same idea. Some of them were direct, others meant it indirectly.
Why elective/Residency become more difficult each year ? Simply, because India & Pakistan don't have Universities! when all students from hundreds of what called universities there just want to have electives & Residencies in USA....Why ACGME did not increase the residency spots with the increase of AMG graduates ? because they want to get rid of you..They have all the right to do that..because when a country open the door you start to immigrate to that country like it is the only country in the world!!.
Why Universities constructed elective course ? it is to explore other culture for one month or 2. But you guys come to USA & start to impede the resources & spoil the system.
Say Good bye in the few next years like you said it before to UK. The cause was the same & UK limited the spots to European citizens & they have the right to do that.
You don't have universities to specialize in ? you don't have money & want money ? But you have money & spend thousands of $$$ for electives & match.
So understand why elective was created & learn from your experience in UK before.
