Quick question...is it okay to release an allopathic SLOE to osteo EM programs? Or would that be viewed as negative (this dude isn't committed to AOA match etc)? Just double checking before I click confirm...thanks!

Another program pulled out of the match today. Carilion's merging their AOA program with their ACGME one. They will increase the spots in the ACGME program by 4. They encourage USMLE Step 1 and 2 but will consider COMLEX this year > 600.
That's another 4 spots down. Seems like the EM match gets more and more competitive as the weeks go by.
I think they should refund all of the applicants they collected cash from ERAS between its opening and September 15th when they decided to make their little secret public.Interesting. Do you happen to know what they plan for the one class of four that did match into the now defunct AOA program? From your post I'm imagining they've just had a year chopped of their residency while moving from a brand new AOA program to a somewhat established MD program. I imagine they aren't complaining.

Quick question for you folks. How badly will a delayed MSPE affect interview invites for AOA programs? My MSPE might be 2-3 weeks late.
No, do it now.Too early to start sending out interest emails?
haha I only come on every now and then. thanks mangeez you just added like 5 at once to the list lol
Level 1 551
Level 2 632
1 EM letter, 1 IM letter, waiting for my SLOE to be uploaded
I have 9 interviews, 4 of which are programs I rotated at. Applied to 35. How many interviews do we need to assure a high chance of matching?
Grandview in Dayton? How many invites did they send out, if you know?Looks like Grandview is done with invitations.

I think they interview 36-40ish people. They had 3 interview days each with 12 interviewees. Rumor has it they're big on rotationsGrandview in Dayton? How many invites did they send out, if you know?
Aria Health
Nassau Univ Medical Center
Coney Island
Orange Regional Medical Center
Did anyone out there already get interviews from the hospitals above without rotating? Or have you heard of anyone getting interviews yet? I know a guy that rotated at Nassau getting an invite, but that's about it. I'm just curious if these programs started sending out invites and I'm just getting a silent rejection...or should I give it more time.

I rotated through the ICU at ARIA and will be doing an audition in the ED later this season. I heard that up until now most if not all invites have been those who have rotated through the department. They also were "behind schedule" on reviewing applications.
I called Nassau Medical Center a few weeks ago to find out what was going on and they pretty much told me that if you didn't rotate through it was very unlikely you were going to get an interview. They said " we have 300 applicants for 4 spots".
Same goes for Coney Island - I got a similar response.
ORMC - They have sent out invites to the best of my knowledge.
I think it's pretty random at the least. I got interviews at places I didn't think I would, yet am in complete silence from places I thought were not as desirable.
Hi I am currently an intern at Kent Hospital in Warwick, RI. I applied only osteopathic last year. Had average board scores (Step 1 & 2 between 500-525) Applied to 42 spots, offered 26 interviews and went to 18. I rotated through 6 programs. I matched at my top spot. If you have any questions about this location or any others let me know! Thanks.
Just DO hospitals. I don't know if there is truly time to do both sides and give it your best shot. Choose one and run with it.MD and DO programs?

Disagree with this. Apply to both sides and decide which one is for you. I speak as someone who has matched ACGME/AOA both.
Hahaha by 1 minute! Its kind of ridiculous how excited I get when I can be the first to post an interview invite. I need to pick up some more shifts or something!
On another note, what do people wear to the night before dinners? Business casual?
If you have monetary constraints and must choose then obviously focus on DO since spots:applicants is much less competitive.
Anybody no anything about Good Samaritans interview process or have any idea why they interview so many people (says 200 on AOA opportunities website).
Weird. I wonder why it says that on the AOA website. Seems like a good program.From what I remember they do not interview that many (maybe 40ish interviews). Mine was laid back, just talking with the core faculty.
Not sure, but I'm only ranking them on the MD side. I think there are only 3 spots though.Anyone know if Lehigh Valley seriously considers DO's in the MD match?
