stay strong guys, I have low scores and a second attempt at step 1 and got some IVs!Just have faith and apply broadly.I wish I had not wasted some of my money on the really prominent programmes! I also used matcharesident, bought a personalised list and that was veryu helpful,most of my IV came from programmes they suggested!
HI timon6,

congrats on your IVs !! I also have an attempt in step 1 and applied in peds broadly but didn't receive any IV yet Sad i have USCE and USLORs also. could you pls tell me the name of the programs and speciality from where u got IVS ? do u need visa ?

thanks.
thanks
my creds are 77/84/pass/obs3months.its in psych.
mammamia,
you need to apply broadly.Most programmes need a visa that I have interviews at,so I guess that won't be much help.Try NY programmes in IM .FM and psych.NY sponsors visas. Applied to peds too, have not heard from almost all programmes,hoping they are sending out info soon.I know some places are waiting for MSPE release,so early Nov.Best of luck!
How bad things may look right now means nothing, - it's how good they can be with God's help that counts. In life you can absolutely count on one t...hing, - everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes. Don't you dare to give up, - you might be a moment away from a windfall.
thanks bobbynagpal, hoping things truly turn around for all of us and we get positions.
what about those with multiple attempts ? do we have any chance ? should we give up,pack and leave or fight ? i have lost the energy to fight .
thanks faith2010 and timon6 for your replies. i have applied broadly with no restrictions to state or programs...where i match the criteria. but still no IVs yet. the attempt in step 1 is the worst part !!!!

Congrats to faith for landing an interview. I'm still watching my inbox for good news. I forgot to mention some of my credentials when I jumped into the conversation. IMG, US citizen, multiple attempts, passed cs on 1st attempt, USCE, and US LORs.
