IM - prelim this year was EXTREMELY competitive, and it will only get worse. IM-Prelim is the feeder program for the ROAD specialties (Rad, Rad-Onc, Opth, Anes, Derm).
Applied to 14, got 7 interviews, ranked all of them, did not match. Matched to PGY-2 in Radiology, how crazy is that???!!! It seems that many IM programs are very picky about whom they interview/rank.
Only got 1 offer even though 5 programs called me during SOAP. Accepted the offer at a small university program, just happy NOT losing my PGY-2 spot.
My Stats:
Step 1/2 both in 250s, 3H's/3HP's in clinical year, 2 researches, excellent LOR's, still have to go through SOAP!!!
