Hello,
I am a medical graduate from a developing country. I have applied in many places in US and Europe. My credentials are:
MBBCh degree, with honors, and an expected cumulative score around 90% (Excellent grade)
Rank in class: 1st out of 50
GRE scores: Q170, V157, AW3.5
1 year research experience in Neuroscience
2 publications in peer-reviewed journals
Presented my research in an international medical student conference, got the best poster presentation award + travel grant for the conference
A research fellowship in Netherlands
Few clinical electives in Europe, the last one was in University College London.
Acceped for 2 more clinical electives in 2013: one in Alabama and the 2nd in Oxford University.
Applied to: Cornell, Einstein, Rutgers, VCU, Baylor College, Emory, Vanderbilt, WUSTL, Utah, Hawaii.
I am disappointed because it seems that my applications are not being reviewed favorably. I just saw the posts of other applicants to Emory, Washington University in St. Louis, and Vanderbilt saying that interview invitations have already been sent.
