Only for Old Grads > 5 yrs - fall2009

[ArchivalUser]

Hi,

I am an old graduate 2003 and want to gather all old grads on this thread so that we can help each other at least to understand the possiblilty of matching into the residency. I have been in this mathching for 3 yrs, got few iv's but didnt match. I do have some research and observership exp. Scores, 78,86,76, all first attempt. This time I applied to all shorts of programs as it is expensive applying to just one faculty. Till now no interviews. So lets get started.

Thanks
