Is it still likely that programs will send out interview invites in for internal medicine November? how common is it? Should I expect any more? Thanks

US IMG student applied to IM Residency with just step 2 scores, I am planning on taking step 1 October 17 and will receive my scores October 29. I will update my application once I take the exam and get scores. Was wondering if it is ok since interviews are rolling out? what are my chances that...

I'm a 3rd year DO, ive been working on a manuscript that I was hoping would get published but it hit a dead end and it's not gonna pan out in time. I still need more research, so would it be worth it to submit an abstract to every conference I can realistically attend, like eposter sessions/in...

USMD applying to IM. Mid to lower mid tier school. Curious to see if using silver signals on UChicago, Northwestern, and Mayo Arizona would be unwise. Step 2 254. Have 4 passes (including IM unfortunately). MSPE will show that I got H on the IM shelf and HP on clinical score tho, but makes me...

Long story short, I was arrested recently but my case, under NYS, has been dismissed and sealed. I’m wondering how this might affect me later down the line for residency and licensing. I understand so far that AMCAS asks only about convictions (and they state explicitly not to include dismissed...

My info: Preclinical all P/F - passed everything Clinical - 3 H, 4 HP Step 1 - pass Step 2 - 270 SubIs - All H 3 LOR from anesthesiologists - probably 1 quite strong, 2 relatively strong Research - All ortho, 2 first author, 7 3rd/4th author, currently doing anesthesia research but no pubs yet...

Hi everyone! I am looking for any advice on my program list and how to use my signals. I've been having a really hard time figuring out signaling, because I've seen posts from people who applied IM in previous years who had a very low interview yield from their signals, but received interviews...

Will be starting an away 5 days after ERAS submission. Will it still help leverage my chances to get an II at said program?

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...
