I'm an MS4 who didn't realize I wanted to go into psychiatry until the very end of my 3rd year, so I feel like I'm late to the psych train and confused on how to tell if I'm a competitive applicant especially as everyone is telling me that psychiatry is getting competitive. Idk if this is the...

Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but I just needed some guidance. I failed step 1 on first attempt and passed on the second attempt. Step 2 score of 24x and level 2 score of 56x. I want to match into neurology, but not sure if i should or should not include my step 1 fail. I...

Matching Radiology Hi friends, I was hoping for some insight and advice into matching radiology as someone who just recently decided that it was the specialty for them. For starters, I’m an M4 so it really is a last minute change, hence my anxiety about the switch. I started medical school...

I’m a US IMG applying for fellowship this cycle. I have decent step scores (~230s), some case report posters mostly rheum but a few ID/rheum overlap, and am at a community program where the closest rheumatology exposure that we rotate with is a private practice clinic about an hour away. My...

Hi everyone! I'm currently a second year at a state school. I have determined that I want to practice psychiatry and was hoping to get some advice as to best build and tailor my resume. I am plan on taking Step and Comlex. As of now, this is what I have going on: Middle of the class...

. UPDATE: I received a call from ERAS today telling me they are able to add signals and added all 7 for me! For anyone in this situation, please contact ERAS. They CAN make this happen. Good luck everyone!

The 2024 ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) application has some big changes for residency and fellowship candidates. Some of the most significant are a limit on the number of experiences one can list, a new section for one’s most meaningful experiences, and a chance to explain...

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'm a 4th-year student and up until this point I haven't had any red flags on my resume. I submitted ERAS a few days before it opened and all was going well. Right afterwards I failed a 4th-year core IM rotation by missing the deadline to submit the required assignments (aquifer cases, patient...

I am dual applying this cycle for FM and IM. FM is my first choice but applied to IM as a backup as well. I mistakenly thought that you could dual apply to 2 specialties at the same hospital and just heard today that this is not smart at all so I withdrew my IM applications from those hospitals...

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.

Our university releases quarterly peer-reviewed journals centered around humanism in medicine. We may submit for publishing narrative writing, poetry, and even artwork (drawings, photographs) here. Would publishing a piece of artwork be listed somewhere on the ERAS application?

I am applying to a fellowship and was told to include oral presentations I have submitted abstracts to but have not heard back from. 1- is this a good spot for the "submitted" "non-published" section or for the "oral presentation" and include the term "submitted" by the event. 2- is this...

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've been working on my PS since June and for some reason, it is just NOT coming together. I've got 10 ish pages of ideas, random bullet point notes on my phone, and then a few different semi-complete drafts. Got some feedback from the writing center, my spouse. Have not sent it to anyone in...

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...

Hi guys, IMG applying for General Surgery, didn’t match this past cycle. I planned to take (and pass) Step 3 before Match day, but ended up failing (Score 197). I took Step 3 again and I’m currently waiting for the score report. I am trying to prepare for next cycle and be smart(er). UPDATE: I...

MS3 here at a mid-tier MD school in the Midwest. I’ll be applying for Internal Medicine in the upcoming cycle. Average stats: Step 1 - 23x Clinical rotations - mostly high pass with 1-2 honors with excellent feedback on rotations Research - one first author publication, several poster...

Since finishing my application last Tuesday my anxiety has shifted from applications to interviews and have searched a few times since then for any consensus on how the interview timeline will be different this year. The most common response I had read is "no one knows", which is fine leading...

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...
