My question is for hundreds of individuals who scrambled and didnt get a spot yet. Has anyone recieved any invitations for interviews yet... or does any one has any idea when do the programs actually call for interviews. your reply is much appreciated. |

hai,i have 99 in both steps but didnt apply for much ,yes i live in canada and applied from here ,i gave the faxing job to an agency but they didnt do their job ,they started doing it on 15 th instead of 14 th,yes i got the calls with in first 48 hours itself i say after those people faxed my resume by 15 th noon,i signed my contract by 12.30 and got calls for 2 prelims ,one nuerology,and 2 fp ,i actually liked to join prelim but they were asking for my papers to show that i have a advanced position next year,i am new to the whole process i think its god s grace i got atleast this,but i am not happy with fp because i want to do fellowship in cardiology. |

hai,i dont think they will call again because from my experience who ever have not filled their spots they have atleast contacted those people whom thye are going to interview,i say this because i find the university of alabama fp remaining open but i know the pd called me on 15th to arrange an inteview that week,so i think its better to wait now after 1 to 2 months somepositions will be open,some wont join and they will advertise again ,mainly prelims open up like that and i think its the best option for future residency,u will have usce and good letter from them ,for me its going to be difficult because not sure program would be happy if i leave. |

hai,i am not an expert in anyof these but i am just sharing my view of scramble,i my self didnt apply for lot programmes during the match process ,its mainly because i was concerned about the expence that i have to put to apply for the programmes and with my situation with out all scoresi didnt find that investment wise,, i am a 2005 graduate,this time i noticed that almost all programes asked to apply through eras during scramble,it would be easy if we applied for more programmes in the begining itself then atleast we could ask them to check it, otherwise even if we call they say apply through eras apply, i dont know, they just forget the fact that we can apply to only 30 programmes through eras ,what happened to me is that since i applied early and certified my eras cv early i couldnt add any of my observership i did after september ,so who ever checked my cv through eras didnt find a good applicant and also they didnt even upload my scores so i didnt think eras was a good choice for applying through scramble.who ever went unmatched itsnot u r fault ,there are lots of things behind the whole process ,hope for the best and dont give up hope we need only one position and even i know people who matched with one interview so good luck. |

rachelrose,
I see you are from Canada and did an observership. Would you be kind enough to let me know where you did this observership. I could not match this year. I want my resume to look good for next year match. I am looking for an opportunity to do an observership. Thanks |

i guess the ones who didnt match or got an interview offer during the scramble are left out. i have lost hope for this year. this was the first time i took part in the match and really wanted it to be the last time. so for the coming match... i will take step 3 inshallah... and then participate in the match season. to people who didnt match (despite of being offered a prematch) i really feel sorry for them. but, if this is the Will of God then i guess we just have to accept it. i wish all of you good luck, and hopefully something will come our way soon. |
