Its another 'what are my chances ?'. I applied to 98 programs ( ERAS-cha'ching!)
Step 1 - 95
Step 2 - 88
CSA - Pass ( 2nd attempt )
Visa - Green Card
6 years UK experience ( MRCP +)
Grad 2001 India
the lower CK and CS scores were because i was ambivalent at the time about coming to the US. I was happy in the UK. My reasons for coming here are personal so please dont flame me for my move.
What are my chances ??

Thank u. I am getting nervous. No replies fromy applcns. I am wondering what's going on. No rejection letters as yet so that's good. It is nerve wracking not having control.

CCF i assume is cleveland clinic florida. I applied there but havent received a rejection as of yet (waiting for it). I note that they do mention CS on 1st attempt. I applied anyways. Hope struggles afloat, you see.
I had a look at your creds. I have to say, they look competitive.VERY competitive.
did you call each hospital's PC toverify if they would consider your applicn ?

I graduated from Mangalore in 2001. I was wondering when you applied. I applied on Sept 3rd, maybe 4th. I haent received anything cept from pinnacle health which states that they have downloaded my applcn.
I am a little concerned with NO messages at all.
