UC Davis just had their complement increased to 1-2-1-2-1 per ACGME website.

As the name implies is public service loan forgiveness compatible with neurosurgery.  Assuming you do pay-as-you-earn in residency.  Residency is 7 of the 10 years, how much of my $280k loan can I expect to pay back, and have forgiven.

Is it expected to send thank you emails post interview?

This probably sounds like a silly question but : How do you know if you have done well on the Sub-I ? That you have a good chance that they might at least give you an IV come match time ? I find Americans are so polite and proper in all their interactions - it is kinda hard to tell if they genuinely think you're good. 

I guess I am just overthinking things because I have so much resting on this rotation as a non US IMG .

But I would really like to know if there is some way you guys know for sure that you have made a good impression - any thoughts ? (just to put my mind at rest so that I can continue studying for CK ) Thank you !

Does attending a residency program with a pediatric fellowship provide much advantage for doing a peds fellowship over someone at a program without one?

what the heck happened here?

Looks like there are some abstract decisions available via the myaans site, FYI.

Can only do one second look. My chairman said uva has trained most chairmen but UCSF has Mitchell Berger. Which 2nd look should I do?

I have a good step 1 and over 20 pubs so I know I'm competitive LOL
