match

I have a friend at Royal Vet College in London - AVMA COE accredited - and he is looking to enter the match this coming Fall. What internships accept foreign graduates? He is running in to issues of internships not sponsoring visas for foreign graduates. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hey guys! I'm a current 3DN, and I waited a bit too long to make up my mind about residencies. I always figured I'd fall back on an AEGD/GPR and just do general if I didn't decide on something. Recently I've been getting drawn in to OMFS and am seriously considering applying for a 4 year...

How much does residency training at Ivy League schools/programs come into play when applying for a job? or having it on your CV?. For example, say I am between Michigan vs UPENN or Pittsburgh vs Columbia/Cornell. I know Michigan and Pitt PM&R programs are great places to train, but does having...

3rd-year DO student here. I want to go in urology but the scarcity of spots that DOs are traditionally competitive for (~25?) makes me really nervous. I'd be happy to get in anywhere, but focused on DO ACGME/AOA programs. COMLEX: 722, USMLE: 251, good pre-clinical grades, sigma sigma phi (does...

Hey SDN, I am a MS4 who is really struggling to make my rank order list. I have a lot of great options but an paralyzed by indecision. Most of my programs I enjoy pretty equally, except for a few minor blips. To be honest, almost every program I interviewed at was pretty similar IMO. Anyone with...

I'm an MS1 interested in ophthalmology and a few other more competitive specialties. The problem is I have 0 interest in research. I'd much rather devote my free time to volunteer activities and hobbies I'm passionate about. I go to a top 20 and many of my classmates are super brilliant and...

Hello, I fortunately prematched at four texas schools: UTSW UTMB McGovern UTSA (only recently prematched on dec 31st) I am trying to accurately gauge how much I want to go to each of the schools but it is hard to do because apparently most don't release financial aid information/...

Hello everyone, I am new to SDN community and I don't know if this is the right forum to post my question here, so I apologize in advance if it is the wrong forum. I am currently third year osteopathic medical student and I am very interested in pursuing neurology MD residency program, I would...

Hi guys! This is the first post I'm writing although I have been lurking around SDN for a few years now. I'm in a bit of a situation and would really appreciate some advice. I'm currently a 4th year medical student in Ireland, and would like to apply for the Ophth match when I graduate...

Hey I'm a US IMG went to AUC and got a 241 in step 1 wondering what are my chances matching a program in radiology and possible ESIR. thank you

i know there's no guarantee for anything but what would i need to do/to score to reasonably guarantee anesthesiology with Step 1 <220? PD survey for anesthesiology from 2016: interquartile range for step 1 for almost never granting interview = 210 - 220, i think that means: 25% of programs...

Hi -- I am currently a PGY3 internal medicine resident who has applied to fellowship programs via the NRMP Fellowship Match. Match results are scheduled to be released on December 6, 2017, however, I am wondering if the program where I currently practice as a resident will receive the results...

Anyone know of a better way of finding out which programs have either no or low minimum COMLEX score for AOA general surgery other than emailing/calling the programs directly? Thanks

Seems like every IMG on this site has scored a 250 who is getting IVs. Would like to hear the experience of those with lower scores. I had a disappointing 219 on step 1. I'm an undergraduate in my home country. I only want to do neurology but I don't know how much of a red flag that score is...

What is the likelihood of matching into EM if you have two attempts for Step 1 with second score being low 200s?

Hello! I am an european trained doctor. I am currently applying for a fellowship. I want to do gyn onco which in Europe includes breast, so I'd have to do 2 fellowships. I would prefer to start with breast because I did my last year or resident training exclusively in the breast department so I...

US med student from mid tier school. My Step I was bad, my Step II a little below average, and I am in the bottom quartile for grades, but wanted to try because I fell in love with the field. I'm not ready to totally give up yet but want to start preparing in anticipation of SOAP. Is there any...

This is for a family member of mine. Assuming they have a BSMD acceptance to a mid-tier 7 yr bs/md program [say, psu/skmc] and an acceptance from AKU [Aga Khan University] in Pakistan, which should they choose? To allow you to make an informed decision and to prevent those saying IMGs are way...

I have been reading SDN and asking questions about matching into Radiology. The general answer I get about match chances is " A passing Step score and a pulse" are all that is needed to match Radiology. Yet the Step 1 average is 240. On Charting outcomes I also see that a score greater than 220...

Bear with me, because I'm a lowly pre-med but I've had this question for a while now... So before medical school, you'll usually get a concentration of high stats apps at the "top" schools. Harvard, Hopkins, UCSF and so-on get their pick of the top percentiles; these students are usually the...

Hey guys! If you're in the midst of the application cycle for this year, it's a very exciting time for you! I thought I'd go ahead and throw down some unsolicited advice that might be of help. Your time during the interview season is precious (and so is your money). Some tips: Geographical...

Hey guys! If you're in the midst of the application cycle for this year, it's a very exciting time for you! I thought I'd go ahead and throw down some unsolicited advice that might be of help. I know that med schools are generally recommending more applications and more interviews as psych has...

As the title reads, which FMG school has the best match rate? I have heard that there are some very good Carib schools (in terms of match rate) like SGU and maybe Ross [essentially the big three], but I recently heard that the first FMG school that Beaumont Hospital (an extremely white - biased...

I am all over the place so pls bear with me and please help me. 1) what is the criterion to get assigned a rotation site, lottery, grades? Jack Hughston is a "ortho" hosiptal predominantly so how will students get to rotate in all areas that students at hospitals do? 2) Do students get to pick...

Hello, I wanted to match into a decent academic radiology program in the southeast. For some reason i cannot hack the honors/240 barrier. Hopelessly mediocre yet stressing and studying like I should be doing much better. Do I have a good shot at matching in Radiology with these average stats and...

I'm a third year medical student with a Step 1 score of 256, GPA 4.0, and some volunteering. I haven't done any research before because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and didn't think my Step 1 score was going to be competitive enough for Derm. I'm willing to put in time to get research in...

My school is probably not going to be able to upload transcript on time. Should I still apply on 15th sept? Does this affect my chances of matching, by how much? Help a brotha out, thanks.

Hello everyone, I received my USMLE Step 1 score and got a 248. I come from a low tier med school, have one published article, have participated in 3 research projects during med school (one of which was made in conjunction with John Hopkins {published} and the other with Mount Sinai) , AOA...

So I'm an M3 (sorta) at a top 20 institution who had to do an alternative course schedule due to some issues that arose during med school. First of all - I didn't take step 1 at the end of M2 as originally planned, when the time came I panicked and then after talking with my deans decided not...

I got a 205 in step 1 What are my chances for family medicine residency matching? i know there are a lot of other factors going on, but even to get an interview.. does my step 1 score hurt me?

Unfortunately I scored much lower than expected. Thought Id atleast hit 240s based on all my practice scores. Do I need research to make up for the lackluster step score? or will doing well in grades and step 2 be enough to match a mid- low tier DR program? By the way I am an MD at a top 50 school

So I ve been going through the charting outcomes in the match of the last few years. What does work experience means exactly? If for example it says the average of work experience for internal medicine was 2,9(just an example, I dont remember the values) what does it really mean? That the people...

A friend is pursuing fellowship training in the future and she wants to know how to find out which programs are participating in the match or not? On Frieda, only programs that have a complete profile listed will mention yes/no about NRMP. Those programs that have an abbreviated profile on...

So I know the general consensus for DO students to match EM is to take step one. But I wanted to know how much it will hurt my chances if I only take step 2. My COMLEX I is mid 550s and I decided to wait a bit to take step I cause I wasn't scorning where I wanted to on NBMEs. I was under the...

Is it possible? How is the program in terms of competitiveness? What would you guys recommend to have a high chance of matching there?
