I am hoping for one interview...what sucks is that I won't be ECFMG certified till I graduate next summer. So, I have feeling I am going to be filtered out, considering I still don't have my CS/CK results back yet :oops:
 
I'm in. 16 programs = $168.00; going for Peds.....

G'Luck to Everyone!!!
 
In ... and the wallet is feeling it.

Good luck to all. Hope you get what you want!

Anything competitive requires applying to a lot of programs. Plus if it's an advanced program you also have to apply for prelim/TY programs. Plus for something competitive it's smart to apply to a backup. So that's why some people are applying to a ton. Others are IMG/FMG and need to simply increase the odds. But yeah, if you are applying for peds, FM, psych, you probably won't need to break the bank the same way.
 
i am doing gas, but I only applied to 20. I had to compromise with my SO. He chose 20 cities that he could live in and not hate it hehe...
 
i DID get one email, thanks for applying, if we decide to interview you will be hearing from us via another email :)

leaves me to wonder, when do THOSE emails go out, typically?

I thought you were family med?

Anyway, I thought I would be the high person here but guess not.

134 programs $2300, I think...I still have sticker shock...I should prolly check
 
Spent $160 and applied to 10 prelim programs today.

Will probably spend over $2000 applying to derm programs this weekend after I muster up the courage. Still waiting for AOA elections! ARGH.
 
Submitted this morning - 30 programs +prelims for radiology...

...and I already have an interview! (don't worry, it's for my home program's prelim medicine... they interview all their own students automatically).
 
$335 that could have been spent on shoes or donations to the underserved.

good luck everybody!! (we'll make back the $ someday...)

Which field are you applying for? Or were you just kidding?

No I wasn't kidding, I was pretty shocked to see it in my inbox.

That one is in FM. I am mainly applying to ER with a few Full spectrum family programs.
