# Well no one I knew has been rejected when going to Harvard, John Hopkins, Yale, Mayo, Cleaveland etc. Always remember big names never get rejected and smaller universities rarely get accepted so never apply for visa on their basis. Although I dont understand the reason but big names never get rejected unless or until you commit a blunder.
# Now if you were unfortunate enough to have been rejected once or twice, dont worry you can try once more...but this time keep a good documentation...carry as much documents as possible....dont commit any blunder during interviews and stay calm...have a look at visa interview post...
# If you have been rejected multiple times, it means either your university is not a good one or you there is something missing either in your documents or in your attitude during interview. So please double check it!
# If unluckily your visa gets rejected, then next time apply on the basis of the same letter. DON’T TRY TO THE ACCEPTANCE LETTER OF ANOTHER UNIVERSITY OR CHANGE ANY OF YOUR YOUR STATEMENTS, IT WILL ONLY WEAKEN YOUR CASE. They have record of each and everything that you have said in the previous interview.
Although many recommend leaving the path of USMLEs if you get rejected for elective visa multiple times but I would recommend trying once on the basis of some research/observerships before leaving your passions/your dream. Best of luck! There is nothing like the end of life! Life always keeps on going with always something better in future for you than what you expect..so dont lose hope...
