Coney???????????????? Don't lower your standards. Last year you prematched at Mayo and Harvard........what's wrong with you? Do you want to be excreted with $hit to be flushed down the pan?

You seem to have forgotten to apply to Surgery and Psych...

Congratulations!!
That sure is a huge list of interviews. Initially,I thought it was the list of programs that you applied this year.

I applied for almost the same # of progs last year but ended up getting only 3 interviews. Did not have GC last year though. Don't want to end up not matching since i will be out of 5 year YOG requirement. Yes i applied to many programs but the risk of paying more money to ERAS is well worth it if i get prematched/matched. Just my opinion.

@congrates.......
can u pls give me some idea about kingsbrook iv.......
0 - ArchivalUser - 10-17-2011
The interview pattern at Kingsbrook has changed because of a new Assistant PD, a chinese American from NYMC Richmond. All generic interview questions like tell me about urself, strengths/weaknesses etc. No info about when they give prematches.

That's all so very touchy and emotional.........26 people congratulating etc.............Bangladesh, Pakistan, Croatia............I almost feel like crying......but why Coney? Why not Harvard or Mayo?????????...............That's what I don't understand!
