hey guys,

i was away for couple of days. and am back with a prelim ( P) IV from Upenn.
i was frustrated and than it showed me some hope that i am not totally out of the race.

someone told correctly, this is the only thread that brings me back to the forum. excellent job CS and all other friends. this is not only helping us but will do so for next year's folks as well.

for prelim: CS is right. i will take P only if they give me H1B. P on J1 is like dead end.
for J1, you have to be extremely GOOD ( program can create a PGY-2 spot for you ) or
LUCKY ( to have unfilled positions in the program).

We should always take risk but at the same time it should not be a suicide.

GL for next week friends.

thnx CS u have been inspiration here to most of the surgery applicants
for me i donot need a visa,so it will put me in good position,what do u think CS?

if you dont need a visa, lifey then dont give a damn to all these things get the first surgery spot you get (prelims or surgery) then sign off man.

congrats kqbank on that interview from upenn.

guys i wish to know whether we can expect some mails coming week or not as its the thanks giving week.

i think there will be activity from monday to friday and then long weekend. cs do u have any idea what percentage of program reply either positive or negative in surgery.

and congrats qbank on upenn iv

I was told that 60 to 70% reply. I am not sure but.

60- 70 % is huge number bcz i just got 33% replies.

should we be expecting most of our replies by early mid or end dec or they go into january?
