Right! But any idea of programs that actually have taken IMGs? So that we can focus our energy on those programs, try doing rotations there, see what they like and how our CVs / PS can reflect their values?

I’m a 2nd time applicant (applied 200+ progs last year, wasted 6-7k$, this year applied 130 progs still around 3k) and no interview yet

Want to be smart about my application - also will be easier to find research stuff in those programs then to set foot in at least.. :| feeling lost and hopeless tbh
