Hypothetical situation: Applicant scrambles into a prelim position during SOAP. Another program in NRMP offers applicant a categorical position after the SOAP ends. Applicant has not signed any paperwork outside of the SOAP. What should the applicant do? What are the chances of a waiver...

I've received some very mixed advice about whether or not to do an away rotation if I were going into internal medicine. The gist is that I'm from California, but am going to school out in the midwest...In the ideal world I'd go back closer to my family for residency. What are your thoughts on...

Hello Everyone! I was reading the surgical subspecialties thread in pre-allo and the doctors and residents mentioned quite a few terms that I really don't understand How does the residency process works besides the match? What is a transtional year compared to preliminary and categorical...

Hello everyone. I am fortunate enough to have been accepted to both of these institutions, and I had a small list of questions. 1. Board Preparation/USMLE: How active is each school's administration and curriculum in preparing students for the boards. 2. Match Lists and Future: I am from...

So since we're getting closer to 2020 with each day that passes, I was wondering if there's an up-to-date list of internal medicine programs that are either dual-accredited or are at least applying for the ACGME accreditation. The AOA website isn't very helpeful. I'm interested in places that...

I'm a Canadian IMG from one of the big 4 caribbean schools applying for surgery in the US this fall. Im trying to get some publications but right now all I've been able to do is a poster and some case reports. My step 1 is pretty good but not incredible (>250) I haven't taken step 2 yet (from...

Does anyone have suggestions for sites that have a more psychodynamic, interpersonal or experiential...

Hi forum, It's just a few weeks from matching and stress is setting in hard. I'm at a mid-tier US Allopathic med school with below average step scores (210 step 1, 222 step 2) and mostly Bs on my transcript. I took an extra year in school because of a very legitimate health reason (not psych). I...

I have a step 1 222 and comlex I 541 and I'm interested in matching to ACGME diagnostic radiology. Is it necessary that I take the Step II CK or will the Level II CE suffice?

I was wondering if someone who starts in January and does 4 semesters on the island would be able to finish in 3.5 years and make the match, assuming all goes smoothly? ie. If start in January 2017 then match in March 2020 and start residency that July 2020? And if possible, how likely? I...

Hi Guys! I've prematched at Lubbock and A&M and have interviewed at SA, and I am stuck on how to rank these schools. I loved the atmosphere at all 3 and love different things about each one. UTHSCSA: Love the circle curriculum, the location, and having 4 months to study for Step-1. Dislike...

I am applying for residency in radiology this year. I need feedback from IMGs who are going through match. Please comment on importance of following and what should you think matter more. USMLE Scores Research and No of papers LORs (how many ideally? ) Electives Contacts Others Thank you

Hi everyone! My name is Joyce and I'm a PGY-2 in dermatology residency. I recently wrote a blogpost about my path to dermatology that has gotten tremendous feedback from medical students in all stages of training. Since the match is coming up, I wanted to share my story so that I can possibly...

How did the match fair for everyone? Based on the report we got in the NRMP, pass percentage has gone up, despite a few programs dropping out pre-rank as well as more candidates.

Good morning people, I am an MS3 in a decent MD program hoping to match into ENT. I am going to give you all my stats and plans, and I would like to know if you think my chances of matching in this crazy competitive day and age are likely. Here goes: Step 1: 246 Pre-Clinical grades: Honored...

I'm doing some research on behalf of my better half while on a boring night shift. She is a newly minted MD who will likely not match this year. (scores quite good and clinical exp, but few connections...) She desperately wants to do something medical until next year. Somewhat ridiculous but...

Hello :) I have interviewed at a few different schools and need some suggestions/help on making my rank list. These are the schools I need to rank: UTMB A&M UNT-TCOM UTHSCSA Texas Tech El Paso I would love some advice. Thank you!

I need help in deciding y'all. UT student. I pre matched to all three an d I'm having so many problems deciding. I know mine, but I would love to hear y'all's reasoning/ a new perspective.

Guys, can somebody explain, why applying for several ( 2 or 3) different residency specialties may decrease your chances to match? It was some time ago, that I was participating in a webinar with Steven R. Daugherty from Becker, and he mentioned that yes, indeed, you'd be much better set by...

Hey everyone! As match season gets underway (and I'm sipping hot chocolate in my scrubs on an overnight call) I couldn't help but get nostalgic about all the fun ya'll are about to have! All of you will be getting loads of advice from classmates, residents, and family (don't leave them out!)...

Hey guys, I'm a 4th year student at a US allopathic program (state). I applied to ~29 IM programs and so far have only heard back from six . I am concerned because I actually did not receive an email invitation from the last program that extended an interview (Loyola) and they had to call me...

Hi. I just wanted to how ranking multiple specialties would affect my probability of matching. For example, if I have 7 IM programs, 3 Peds programs and 1 Psych program on my rank order list, will it decrease my chance of matching at any of these places as opposed to having 10 IM programs on my...

Hi. I am an IMG with average credentials. I was just wondering if my chance of matching would depend on the order in which I ranked programs. For example, if I rank great programs at the top and mediocre programs at the bottom, would it decrease my chance of matching (matching in general, not...

Hello everyone! I did not find this topic anywhere in my search so please forgive me and redirect if I've missed it.. How are you organizing your CV for VIRMP? I am applying for residencies and am trying to decide: (1) where my internship fits (2) if I should include DVM clubs (Bovine Club...

Hey guys. I need advice. I have already applied for General Surgery programs for this match. I was intending to apply to Internal Medicine/Family Medicine but I had to unexpectedly delay my Step 2 CK exam, scheduled for October to November. That means my scores will arrive pretty late and many...

Which private rotating internships are considered the most competitive for residencies? I know the academic programs are highly regarded in general, but want to be in private practice for a year. AMC and Angell are the main ones that I know of as being highly competitive, but wanted other opinions.

Anyone a PGY-1 resident (or know a PGY-1 resident) whose program is great for students who would like to eventually become a faculty member at a pharmacy school? I am looking for programs that make you primary preceptor for an IPPE student, offer a teaching certificate, assign a faculty advisor...

Hi All, So I am hoping to apply to Emergency Medicine this cycle. I currently have a regular EM LOR, but I will receive my first SLOE by the middle of October ( finish EM rotation by then) and second by the middle of November. Is this too late in terms of applying because I won't have the...

When I was a med student, I wasted my time at other departments doing away rotations. I didn't know that some programs are notoriously nepotistic or just don't interview their rotators. A major point of doing an away rotation is to increase your odds of getting an interview and matching, after...
