if no IV now? - tkukla

is it over if don't have any IVs so far?

No

You can prepare for the Scramble. Hopefully you have a good Step 3 score and Lots of luck!!! The scramble is a mess and if I'm correct, they will be getting rid of the Faxing within a few years. Must programs use Eras now, as it allow them to filter the candidates and not have to verify the exam scores.

Good luck to the Step and Match

not to discourage you. But, yes it is over.

if you sent all your applications very early in Sept. and haven't heard by now, then things probably aren't looking up then..best case scenario is that maybe one of your apps is "on hold".....get prepared for Scramble if you're interested, for what it's worth. Cheers!

Will they scramble you without IV?

[ArchivalUser]

suck it up man, it's over. And you're not getting anything in the scramble...period. Too tough for foreigners. Gear up for next year...though I doubt you'll even match then.

[ArchivalUser]

wow....some of you are plain ruthless,
and to think you are "the future doctors of america" how sad,
