Official 2017-2018 GI Fellowship Application Cycle

[GIorDIE89]

Pretty hard, having just gone through this I noticed that green card holders had a very difficult time. Unless exceptionallly high board scores and high reputation program (then may 5-10 interviews), but for the most part I would think you will get between 0-3 interviews. A lot of green card holders get interviews/match where they did residency. I love this "university affilated" program, dont joke anyone, now with health care systems nearly every doctors office from central alska to manhattan is "university affilated", you graduated from a community program

Did you apply before?
What happened in the last 5 years?

I think what your asking is not what are my chances (because you just have to apply and see what interivews you get, and then rank them) is more of what can I do to improve my application question. You should apply to every program, keep working on the research and crush any interviews. Connections help and try to make as many wherever/whenever you can...

Green card means you are permanent resident. You are seen as exactly the same as citizen, no different. Exactly the same work rights. If you are on a visa you are screwed.

Some programs will list that they do not sponsor H1Bs but will still call for interviews and reassure you during the interview that they do. I just applied as "well why not?" and had a pleasant surprise.

Which program ?
