Damn, you guys can be really negative. I know way worse credentials with not just iv's but matched. If not for personal issues, I wld give u specifics. If you had applied to most IM programs, you may not be having this conversation. IM programs look for different things/per every candidate. I can tell you like this, never ever give up man. Never, ever pay much attention to lots of negativity, just believe in yourself and keep working hard to become better.

We all know it's possible to match, with great effort and careful planning, sometimes against all odds, it may take time, and effort and tears and suffering, but it is possible.
We all know here that some have a bit of luck and achieve great things in difficult situations and we all here hope that every single story ends well.
Nobody in this forum (except for some trolls) wishes for someone else to fail.
It's not just being negative for the sake of it.
It's being realistic.

If you get advice that makes everything look pretty all the time and don't look at the faults in a process you will not be able to have enough insight to fix it.
That is the whole idea of asking. Get another perspective, see what you alone cannot see.

There are great stories of success and happiness around but that is not the norm.
People with higher scores and better credentials are struggling for interviews and it's because this is a very complex, difficult process.

@kennymd Telling it exactly how it is isn't being negative. It is much better than giving false hopes! Yes people with low scores and attempts match but they are very few and they don't get it sitting at home. I've been working 7 days a week for the past 2 years doing research, volunteer work, observership, externship, pumping gas at the station, cleaning bathrooms, selling handbags you name it, but I still haven't gave up (I have low score but no attempts). My time will come and so will his/her IF and IF he/she decides to work for it!
