  hey googluck, by the looks of it, 20% of FMGs have a double 99..i guess that translates to a few thousand atleast. Dont rely on any opinions. Make sure you do well at IVs if you get calls.

  I can't say ....but its really tough to get in ....becoz there are too many ppl with triple 99.....so, if you don't get 99 in step 3 ...you should go back 2 home country.

  hehehe
what the hell is wrong with you guys, why u discouraging that poor soul
he struggled soo hard and came this far, he is just a couple of IVs from his dream residency, so Mr.Good luck dont loose heart and stay positive, u do have a very good chance but dont forget to prepare really well for what ever IV calls u get
All the best

@kanka2424
i remember how u were dreaming of top notch university programs last year and probably the 65 programs u applied to were only top 65 university programs of US, still u lucky that u got 2 calls o/w these programs are only for american grads with stellar credentials
