My Backgrounds:
1. IMG, Grad at 1997 as MD
2. rotation in Dept of Path from 1996-1997
3. 1997--2000: pathology resident training, teacher and researcher in my coutry
4. 2000--current: PhD student in Pathology, USA, will grad within 3 months
5. USMLE: Step I-97/239, II-95/234, CS--11-18-2005
6. several good publications
7. Three LoR, including two famous pathologists in our department, one of who is my advisor.
8. No green card. my wife just started, so we can't move
only applied two programs in our city in the early Nov, one is the medical center I am studying in. Got one interview from the other program, but rejection from our department, actually the PD here told me and my advisor weeks ago that she will give me interview, but now she changed her mind.
Question:
should I apply more programs? but my wife insists that we can not move since we have to start all over for green card application if we change place.
any other good suggestions?
Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving!!!
