am I going to match?

Yea sorry I didn't mean to insult you or anything. Obviously you are a strong candidate and probably have way more interviews than me. But I am just trying to say that these programs are apparently highly competitive and that you would need even better numbers to receive an interview.

250+ AOA, etc. doesn't mean jack. It's a totally random process. Yes if you hit the nail with manhy of the prefab requirements.. you'll get a lot of interviews.. but where you get interviews is totally random. I've seen people match at places with 220 and lower at places listed there.. so you never know.

and it's early yet.. I know.. I did it last year. I had 23 interview invites. by this time I only had 6 or so

Did you guys get any interviews last year after getting flat out rejected earlier?

I have interviews at many of those places and I am not AOA and I am not even close to 250+. But my application has alot more going for it than just the "numbers".

yuppers.. you'll see , there's going to be dates that are mega conflicts... the residency coordinators will go nuts calling people and stuff.. It's just starting to be that time of year (it's the most wonderful time of the year!)

i like you iliizarovian. im going to take your word for it
