match 2018

Hello guys I matched this year. Unfortunately, my J1 Visa is still under administrative processing. And the program doesn't want to wait for me longer due to major scheduling issues. They requested NRMP wavier after a month of the residency start. I feel it's really unfair. I already quit my...

Hi all, Canadian-borne who studied in the Caribbean, just found out today (2nd iteration) that I didn't match, feeling pretty worthless. Had 2 interviews, thought both went pretty well, and got follow-up emails from the PDs saying that they enjoyed meeting me and were interested. (Jesus Christ...

Looks like another down year for pathology in the 2018 NRMP match. Data is available on the NRMP website. 601 pathology residency spots were offered nationwide. Of those, 237 filled with US seniors (MDs and DOs), which translates into a 36.6% fill rate. I think last year the fill rate was 35%...

I was reading on the Ashp website that programs that didn't participate in phase I of the match are allowed to participate in phase II of the match.Is there any residency program out there that didn't participate in phase I of the match but will participate in phase II of the match?

Looking for advice on my rank list. As far as fellowships go, leaning toward sports/pain. Just looking for input from anyone who has trained at any of these institutions and the pros and cons they have. Obviously this is a personal decision but I want to glean any insight possible. Mayo...

hi, would a PD, aPD, someone w more experience than me be able to comment on this? for applicants who are couples matching, do their respective departments talk to each other before ranking candidates? or is it pretty independent and they make their decisions as though the applicant is applying...

Thanks to you all for your knowledge. I appreciate it so much that you do take the time to answer questions. It has helped me a lot throughout my medical school journey. I wish I could write a book for people who want to become doctors. Any way. I have two questions the first is a personal...

Hi everyone, I am currently interviewing and leaning towards UCSF and Mayo Clinic as top choices but I still don't know which to rank first. I am wondering if anyone with more info may be able to comment here. I know UCSF is highly ranked (7th in country it appears) but Mayo Clinic is ranked...

I’m a recent graduate who was just employed in a retail setting. My long-term goal is to be working in a hospital (which I have been applying to but of course I really have no experience besides IPPE/APPE). I applied to residency during my last year of school but of course I didn’t match. I...

I am an final year international medical student, willing to pursue IM residency. My quick question is which one is better: 1. Total 2700$ for 8 weeks - to work with a cardiologist and a gastroenterologist at a private clinic 4 weeks each- total 8 weeks. 2. 5250$ for 8 weeks to work at FIU...

Hi guys. I know there is another thread for IM 2018, but I thought it was a good idea to make one just for IMGs so we can keep track of how we're doing and kind of try to predict our realistic chances this year. Please post your basic info like USMLE scores, year of graduation, migratory status...

Hey guys, I'm a US-IMG applying this year and I really need help. Not much guidance from my school and a little pressed for time with apps this week - any advice asap would be very helpful! I had 3 main questions: 1. If I'm applying to Neuro and IM programs, is it bad to apply to prelim IM at...

Less than a week before apps go out, and these threads are pretty quiet. Anybody out there applying this fall for OBGYN? Its a lazy football Sunday, so I made a document for us. Instead of the typical long obscure interview thread, we can do a Googledoc like some of the other specialities so...

So I just got my step3 result and I failed by 2 points. I am an IMG applying this year for the 2018 match, so my question is how bad does this look, I might have enough time to re-take before September 15, but don't know if with enough time to have the new result by then as I really don't want...

Hiya! I am starting year 4, going into ped's, and have 2 away rotations booked for Aug and Sept. I also have the option of going to Mexico for a month in April. The idea would be to become more fluent in Spanish - however, I can save a lot of money ($2500) and take classes locally. I am curious...

Wanted opinions and a poll that were more up to date (2017) Writing a unique personal statement is one of the milestones toward getting a match. This task can be specially challenging for IMGs who might not have a great English language skills or even if they have they may still don't know...

Hi, I am an non-US IMG married to a US citizen who will be applying to this year's match. My circumstances dont allow me to apply for GC before start of Nov 2017. And by the time my residency starts in June/ July 2018, I might not have the GC but I'll have an Employment Authorization Document...

Hello everyone, I'm a expecting to graduate in June '17. I'm interested in anesthesia or IM at academic institutions in the US. I know this is gonna be a rather particular question but I would like to ask for your input whether I should try to apply for the Match 2018 or postpone and try to do...
