did you get the offer in the scramble?

YES, I GOT IT IN SCRAMBLE , THAT IS WHY AM REALLY THINKING IF I DID THE RIGHT THING, I DID NOT ACCEPT IT...
AND LOT OF PROGRAMS SAID THEY WILL CALL BACK, THEY ARE LOOKING ,, THEY ARE REVIEWING,,, IS THAT WHAT HAPPEN EVERY YEAR , OR THIS IS NEW?

If I were you I would not have hesitate. Go for J1, they are not going to call you for sure: it is an american style of behavior when they want to say NO!
Go ahead, don't loos your time.

No not at all b/c what I know(maybe I am wrong) JI visa can not be change to any other visa. & believe me u r not that old graduate scores are wonderful. & now calm down be patient & try hard to ace the step3(don't give in hurry) with 90 + & u will see u will get H1 next year so apply as soon as possible try to avoid UNi program & apply in more & more comm affliated uni who sponsor H1 thats what I do & now its ur decesion!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know 1 of my friend he was also looking for H1 & had 93 & 94 & 2002 graduate & he was offered prematch in some community affil UNI pro & I don't know why he did'nt accept when he asked me I told him that take it & he did't have many interviews either( he already took his step3 in early feb) & now he did'nt get match & feels bad y didn't he accept at the first place!!!!!!! but its too late now so far no luck in post match so thats the story now its up to u to take chance & risk but remember next year u will have passed Step3 too so that will be a plus point & also don't forget new quota for H1 will also be available.
