match

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.

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...

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?

What happens if you find yourself in a program that does not reflect the description on the match and was not made known during the interview? I am extremely frustrated finding myself in a program that most likely mislead me and my internmates with inaccurate information in order to fill their...

Does anyone know if there are any inherent disadvantages (perception as less than green) for doing blue book electives. I will do enough green book to be licensed in all 50 states, but the rest blue.

I'd be interested in doing a HHMI fellowship, but I'm already partway through my fourth year. I was curious if anyone on this forum has any experience with this program, and in particular, the logistics of doing such a research year after their fourth year of medical school. Is that even...

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how easy/hard it is to match in Canada as a Canadian citizen who completed their MD in the US? I know according to CARMS they can match in the first iteration, but that does not necessarily mean there would be enough seats for them and/or no bias in favor of...

Hello everyone, I have been accepted into a great DO school that I feel very comfortable at. I did not apply to any MD schools in the last application cycle. I am a Canadian student and I have always been interested in pathology. I got the impression from many people that it would be easy for...

A few weeks ago, I had the misfortune of missing an examination in my first year of Medical School. My alarm malfunctioned that night and somehow reset itself in the middle of the night. I could not prove to the school's administration that I had a malfunction with my alarm, but regardless I...

So I matched into psychiatry and I am ecstatic. I applied to psychiatry and internal medicine (as a back up) and I was about 75% sure I wanted psychiatry, and 25% IM. So, I went with my gut. As happy as I am, I feel as though I am going to miss IM. But the thought of rounding for countless...

I thought I'd start this as it seems to be a common inquiry as well as personally for me. Is there any good way to gauge if applying to a backup specialty is necessary/worth the time when applying to more competitive specialties such as Dermatology, Orthopedics, etc.? Specifically, this question...

I have a confirmation email from 9:00, but it still says "ranking" and not certified.. I was switching back and forth between my two top spots + kept re-certifying. I know, stupid stupid stupid mistake.. Is this even heard of? I'm sick to my stomach.
