Dear Applicant,

Your application has been reviewed and I am sorry to inform you that the

desirability as a resident.

We wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of a position in Internal
Medicine.

Sincerely,



Dennis C. Policastro, M.D.
Program Director

creds: old graduate (less than 10, more than 5), low 90s in USMLE, ECFMG certified, 3 good USLOR, univerisy hospital IM-related USCE hands-on 6 months,

apparently I am good candiate for several IM community programs, but not good enough for some of the university hospitals

but u know it is the whole package that counts.

so I am not sad...
