You now know that we have to ask why is your situation different than the average applicant ?! Lol.
If I hear-" I'm a DO " as the reason I will scream.

Hey guys this question is directed at pgy1s but I'd like to hear from anyone with useful anecdotes. I only have one interview left. I've decided what my top five programs will be. Unfortunately, out of the 5, I have noticed that I have only received emails from the #4 residency program (I also rotated there so it almost doesn't count). The other place I've decided will be in my top 5 is my next interview. It's kind of concerning because i only seem to be getting attention from my mid to bottom programs. Has anyone matched at a place where they didn't make contact ? It's hard to tell if they are not interested or if they just don't contact anyone as a rule.
lol Its personal. You guys are funnyIf I hear-" I'm a DO " as the reason I will scream.

Nothing against texas, in fact I will be ranking a texas program quite highly. I was just saying because I met a haughty person from Texas with that many interviews who was a MD/PHD.
Doximity says Indy EM was #1 last year. Anyone who interviewed care to chime in?

Doximity is a poor evaluation of EM programs. It does not take into account many personal factors for programs. For example, if you are interested in EMS, especially HEMS, Indy would be a terrible place to do your residency because the PD is against physicians flying unless things have changed over the last couple of years.
Hey guys, I have a couple questions I was hoping yall could help me out with. I'm a MSIII DO student looking to match ACGME. I scored a 234 on the step one and a 610 on the comlex. Would it hurt me to not take the USMLE step II? Are my scores adequate enough to apply only to ACGME programs?

If you don't take USMLE Step II it would definitely hurt you. There's way to many people with awesome scores - take it so you can be on a level playing field with MD students.
none will rank you without it.
Is taking Step 2 in sept/oct considered late?
Wrong. Multiple PDs told me otherwise.
You should still take it early though.
For an MD student, I can't see how a program would feel good about ranking someone without a step 2 by the time rank lists are in... That would be a poor choice. Im actually surprised that any PD would tell you otherwise. That is a gamble because you can't go into residency without passing it. Did those PDs give you a reason why they would allow it? Im mostly just curious.
And my experience was different. Most, if not all, of the places I interviewed stressed the importance of Step 2 if not outright said you will not be ranked without Step 2 CK scores available prior to ROL drop dead.Wrong. Multiple PDs told me otherwise.

It depends on the context. Yes, if you want a good score to help increase the number of interview invites. No, if you only want to have a valid score come rank list time.

Step scores 220-230s.
Average student.
Applied to 40+.
Interviewed at 5.
Ranked 5.
Matched EM.
Thank God.
Is anyone else having match day nightmares? I feel like I have created an algorithm of my reaction to any program on my match list that I end up with. Then yesterday, I kept checking the NRMP site to make sure that I am still matched. :/ This wait is making me a crazy person.
One more day...
