THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR REPLYING TO MY MESSAGE..
HI EVERYONE,

AM A IMG, HAD ALMOST 2 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN LONDON (V.GOOD PROGRAMS) AND HAVE ONE MRCPCH..
I'VE APPLIED TO 30 PROGRAMS IN PEDIATRICS AND FOR NOW I GOT ONLY ONE SINGLE INTERVIEW AT LINCOLN..
MY SCORED ARE 91/98/CS ALL FROM 1ST ATTEMPT..
I GRADUATED FROM LITHUANIA 2002, AND MY RESUME IS REALLY GOOD.
I AM SITTING STEP 3 IN 2WEEKS AND IT SHOULD BE OK HOPEFULLY.

WHAT IS IT THAT I ONLY HAD ONE BLOODY INTERVIEW ONLY???
I APPRECIATE UR FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT GUYS...

THANK U

As far as I can think prog selection and time of application can be the only problems otherise U would have got amazing interviews.

THANKS HARRY99
THE THING IS THAT I APPLIED TO PROGRAMS THAT SPONSOR H1 VISAS, SO SOME OF THEM WERE JUST NORMAL PROGRAMS AND SOME WERE BIG REPUTABLE PROGRAMS...I MEAN, I FINISHED MY STEP1 IN NOV, AND BY 23nOV, I HAD THE RESULTS...
BUT MY OTHER EXAMS WERE DONE LIKE 2 YEARS AGO OR SO...
DO U THINK THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM??

THANKS A LOT HARRY

I think you should have received a whole lot more interviews.....that you may have sent your application in late?Other factor could be that you may have applied to programs which require USCE or have a graduation year cut-off?

Is Lithuania part of the EU?
What did u use to study for MRCPCH?

or visa most likely

THANK U GUYS...
PEACE07, I KNOW THAT VISA MIGHT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, A LOT OF GUYS HAD A LOT OF INTERVIEWS AND THEIR STATUS IS AS MINE...SO I DONT KNOW REALLY...

AM VERY VERY FRUSTRATED AND STARTED LOOSING HOPE...
I MEAN THE ONE INTERVIEW I HAD AT LINCOLN IN NY, THEY WERE INTERESTED AND ASKED ME TO FINISH MY STEP3 AND AM WORKING ON THAT...

HARRY, I STARTED APPLYING IN SEPT, I REALLY DIDNT APPLY LATE, BUT MY STEP1 RESULT CAME BY THE 3RD WK OF NOV, ALTHOUGH I HAD MANY REJECTION AFTER THAT...
AND I REALLY APPLIED TO THE PROGRAMS WHO DONT HAVE A CUTOFF AFTER GRADUATION...

IS IT BEC MY NAME IS MOHAMAD AND THAT AM LEBANESE???? I REALLY STARTED DOUBTING THAT, I KNOW THAT AM A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE, AND I DONT KNOW!!!!
I PREPARED FOR MY MRCPCH FROM THE PASSTEST REVIEW BOOK, ITS EXCELLENT AND IS VERY VERY SUFFICIENT, BUT I SHOULD SAY THAT CLINICAL EXP IN PEDS MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE...AND I PRACTICED A LOT OF MCQ FROM THE PASSTEST SERIES, THEY ARE EXCELLENT....

THANK U GUYS FOR UR REPLIES, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT

BUDESONIDE DEAR,

I APPLIED TO 30 PROGRAMS OUT OF WHICH 13 ARE J AND 17 ARE H VISA....
AND THE THING WAS NEVER HOW GOOD I AM AT THE INTERVIEW, BUT IT WAS ABOUT GETTING AN INTERVIEW AS A WHOLE...
I HAVE VERY GOOD INTERVIEW SKILLS AND AM VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT, BUT IT IS THAT I GOT ONLY ONE...

I think then your application was completed late in late November?
Good luck for step 3 I think you have decent chance to match even though its 1 interview......nevertheless keep scramble in mind. I'm sure with qualifications like those its only a matter of time you get into a program. By the way I dont think it has anything to do with your background.

If you are EU member.....how is it you do not continue to work in UK or other european countries?Why do you plan on going through the process all over again?
