Hello, I wanted to ask some questions regarding the neurosurgery publications average etc. I know the average is 37, but do you guys know the actual breakdown? I can't imagine someone having that much of pure articles. If you guys could possibly give me some example profiles that would be...

Just got my score back and I need some realistic advice. USMD, HP every rotation, Step 1 Pass, Step 2 244, 3-5 pubs, no conferences. What should I not bother applying to? How would you approach specialty selection/refinement? I enjoy anything procedural but I want to make sure I don't apply...

I'm really just looking for any helpful advice. I know I'm opening myself up for harsh criticism here, but I need help. As the title implies, I applied internal medicine this cycle and followed my home institution academic advisors' advice that since I am applying very broadly geographically, I...

Hi y'all. I was wondering if I could get some tips on applying to residencies. Red flag: - Failed Step 1 (don't recommend planning a wedding around step 1). I ended up with upper 240s on Step 2. Took a research year. I have 5+ pubs (a few first author), and a few submitted. I have 10 posters...

4th year decided this week to do IM. My school's IM department had a lot of advising sessions but I missed them all because I was undecided. I'm feeling a little stressed because I'm on a different timeline compared to my other IM-bound peers, but I'm hopeful that it will work out. I need to...

I just got evals back and an attending I worked with several months ago wrote me the best eval I've ever gotten. Would it be too late to ask them for a letter?

Hey guys this is a bit of a difficult decision I have to make and just wanted some upper year insight on what I should do. I am a Canadian Studying Abroad looking to apply for residency next year in the US or Canada. I don't mind where I get residency to be honest, either or would be fine (East...

I think I'm the only person this has ever happened to... But the physician I worked with in EM uploaded his LoR for the SLOE and his LoR. I was not made aware of this until programs started to email me about this. I'm currently asking a different physician that I rotated with who I assume is...

Basically what's in the title. Should I submit the application without my step2 score and then update it at 11AM when it comes out? Or wait until 11AM for my score to be out to submit my application?

Hello Rheumies! Time to start one for this year! A place to keep each other informed on interviews, and if we have any questions we have somewhere to ask. There is also a Reddit thread below that was started in case there is important information provided that might be helpful for anyone there...

Applying to Rheumatology fellowship this cycle and having a hard time finding information on reputation or "rankings". Anyone able to roughly rank the top 10 or 20 Rheumatology fellowship programs? Also wondering what happened to NYU this year...

Hello all! Since ERAS has opened, I decided to create a WhatsApp group for this year’s applicants. Send me your number if you’d like to be added!

Updating, the article is out https://www.studentdoctor.net/2023/06/08/other-impactful-experiences-essay-exploring-your-unique-story/

I have an abstract that was accepted to a conference (ORS/orthopaedic research society). We also had a podium presentation at the conference. Confused on how I would list this on ERAS. Would this go under "peer reviewed journal articles/abstracts" or "poster presentation"?

The University of Louisville Department of Radiology is conducting a timely IRB-approved survey on the current Radiology resident selection process, with particular emphasis on the various interview formats. The survey also addresses the impact of the change in Step 1 scoring and attitudes...

Hello all, I am excited to be entering my fifth year of advising medical school and residency applicants! I have helped numerous folks successfully enter medicine or their desired specialty. I offer comprehensive services - primary and secondary application editing, interview preparation and...

For 2024 residency applicants will only be able to list 10 experiences and select 3 most meaningful. What do people think about this change? In general I think it's a good change so that people aren't padding CVs with things like single day volunteer experiences, but there's the added headache...

I see a lot of residency programs with <10% US-MDs. Is that a function of them being less competitive (not attracting a lot of US-MD applicants) or them just preferring DOs/IMGs and being unfriendlier to US-MDs? Basically I want to know if these are worth applying to at all as a US MD.

Long story short, during my first clerkship of third year (pediatrics) I had to remediate just the standardized patient portion of the course and subsequently received a conditional pass. Other than this, I received a mix of High Pass and Honors in the remaining clerkships. My question is...

Hey all, I’m currently applying for FM residencies through ERAS. I was initially advised against sending post interview communication, and now I’m worried because I didn’t send my number one a letter of intent. I have sent updates regarding step 2 ck scores, thank you’s, and attended all their...

Hello all, It’s Friday and I just received an invite to interview on Wednesday next week. However, I already have an interview with another program scheduled for that date. The program schedules through email and not ERAS, so there is no freeze date or ability to self schedule. I was...

Hey all, I had something important come up on the same day of a scheduled interview. The freeze date on the ERAS self-scheduler has passed already, but I'm confused based on the ERAS user guide. It says that you can still cancel a scheduled interview date after a freeze date has passed. It...

I made a careless mistake last night. I forgot to release and assign my USMLE transcript to every program that I applied to, and the photo either. This morning 8 am was the opening time for programs to receive applications(09/29). I just released my photo and my transcript 4 hours later. 12 pm...

I finished My ERAS application, and when I try to submit it says you can't submit while required fields are left unfilled. Under the education tab it says that a required field is unfilled, even though I chose none to higher degrees (as I am an IMG) PS: all the circles on the left are green with...

Hello all, US MD here applying for FM this cycle. I will graduate this December and am listed as US Senior on NRMP for match, but have an extension mentioned on ERAS and MSPE. Had some personal losses and struggles at beginning of third year, tried to continue rather than take LOA and ended up...

I talked about about my ADHD in my personal statement. It's not the main focus, but I used it as an introductory point that sets the path to discuss cultural stigmas against mental health care, my desire to work with families, and the work ethic/skills I've developed as a result of my ADHD. Am I...

Hey all, Applying family medicine as US MD this cycle. 212 on STEP 1. Going to take STEP 2 next week, submit my application 9/29, then update programs with STEP 2 score on 10/6. I realize that I’ll be at a disadvantage with the low step 1 and no step 2 score with possibly getting screened out...

Let's go! Credentials Interviews Thoughts Concerns

For rotation letter of recommendations, our school gave us a token for ERAS to be able to have the letters submitted to ERAS from the preceptors. However does that mean they will only be available for one application cycle? I remember services like Interfolio for undergrad allowed you to save...

This is a question more about ERAS than Neonatology itself, so if someone has a better idea on where to post this, let me know. My partner and I are both residents in pediatrics, and she will be applying to Neonatology Fellowships this upcoming application cycle. She has a LoR being written by...

Hi all: Hope you're doing well. I have a rather unique circumstance. An oncology project I've been working on( not first-author) was accepted by a major conference for "online publication only". However, the first author( not me) decided to withdraw the "accepted" abstract to provisionally...

Well, now that the 4th years know where they’re going, it’s time for us neurotic 3rd years to start thinking about the process. Anyways, I’ve heard through the grapevine that they’re planning to do next season virtually as well. Has anyone else heard this/has something official to back it up?

Greetings, I am a med student studying in Pakistan. So I really want to get an internal medicine specialty. I have good Step scores along with 2 research publications. Next year i will start applying for clinical electives in the US. Here’s my problem : I worry that by the time i apply for...

I'm a non-US IMG, potentially no visa needed, with good scores (step1 255~260, step2 265~270, CS first pass) applying for neurology&radiology this year. YOG 4 years, has a bunch of first author publication in decent journals. Got some great interview invitations from advanced residency programs...

So I just noticed that I made a date mistake on my ERAS application. I put the start date of my medical school a year later than I actually started.... my graduation date was correct though. Not sure what I should do now since I've already submitted the application and can't make any changes...
