@rakotork 'and a lot of them haven't reviewed my application yet '
to me that says your application was filtered and never read by them

Hi sarah..we're kind of on the same boat in the sense that we are not fresh grads. It'seems getting frustrating but hopefully things will end up really good for us. I have a question though. If we don'the get an interview, do we still have a chance to match
during the SOAP?

@vaccine,
how can we know whether our application's been reviewed or not ? then how'd they know about a candidate and select without looking at the applications?
thanks!

@grace simple answer is u dont! also if u are filtered your application is never seen i.e invisible
they will never know about you is the answer. given every program gets 5k applicants do u think they really care either?!

One factor is that many applicants apply so so widely even they know that most of the programs will not accept them for a reason or another. They will just jam the programs and elevate the competition but this is a false competition not real.
So, for example if I know that the program doesnt accept visa thingi, then why should I apply and so forth.
Now that has been said but also the programs in general create such a confusion on there websites . Most of the programs are not really very clear about the red flags requirments. Many programs even dont mention anyrequirment. Other programs write something on their pages and then implement and do something else.
All of us, the applicanrs, are very hard working people, all of us are smart people and even those with low scores or attempts, and all of us really want to be physicians. God know how much applicants and their families suffer in pursue of this career and yet many of us are not lucky enough to have an interview!
What a pitty that after all these years and all the hard work and dedication we will need the luck in the form of knowing a real strong contact who can bring us the residency seat!
Have a happy holiday season !
