match

Hey everyone! As match season gets underway (and I'm sipping hot chocolate in my scrubs on an overnight call) I couldn't help but get nostalgic about all the fun ya'll are about to have! All of you will be getting loads of advice from classmates, residents, and family (don't leave them out!)...

Hey guys, I'm a 4th year student at a US allopathic program (state). I applied to ~29 IM programs and so far have only heard back from six . I am concerned because I actually did not receive an email invitation from the last program that extended an interview (Loyola) and they had to call me...

Hi. I just wanted to how ranking multiple specialties would affect my probability of matching. For example, if I have 7 IM programs, 3 Peds programs and 1 Psych program on my rank order list, will it decrease my chance of matching at any of these places as opposed to having 10 IM programs on my...

Hi. I am an IMG with average credentials. I was just wondering if my chance of matching would depend on the order in which I ranked programs. For example, if I rank great programs at the top and mediocre programs at the bottom, would it decrease my chance of matching (matching in general, not...

Hello everyone! I did not find this topic anywhere in my search so please forgive me and redirect if I've missed it.. How are you organizing your CV for VIRMP? I am applying for residencies and am trying to decide: (1) where my internship fits (2) if I should include DVM clubs (Bovine Club...

Hey guys. I need advice. I have already applied for General Surgery programs for this match. I was intending to apply to Internal Medicine/Family Medicine but I had to unexpectedly delay my Step 2 CK exam, scheduled for October to November. That means my scores will arrive pretty late and many...

Which private rotating internships are considered the most competitive for residencies? I know the academic programs are highly regarded in general, but want to be in private practice for a year. AMC and Angell are the main ones that I know of as being highly competitive, but wanted other opinions.

Anyone a PGY-1 resident (or know a PGY-1 resident) whose program is great for students who would like to eventually become a faculty member at a pharmacy school? I am looking for programs that make you primary preceptor for an IPPE student, offer a teaching certificate, assign a faculty advisor...

Hi Doctors, I am IMG, Interested in Pathology! I want some opinion. I have just finished MD degree and will take step1 in 3monthes. I am thinking about going into Pathology Phd In my home country for 3years, meanwhile I will get all scores (CK,CS, Step3) and after Phd will apply for Pathology...

Can I submit and certify my application tomorrow if my school has not uploaded my medical school transcript yet? Thank you.

Hi All, So I am hoping to apply to Emergency Medicine this cycle. I currently have a regular EM LOR, but I will receive my first SLOE by the middle of October ( finish EM rotation by then) and second by the middle of November. Is this too late in terms of applying because I won't have the...

When I was a med student, I wasted my time at other departments doing away rotations. I didn't know that some programs are notoriously nepotistic or just don't interview their rotators. A major point of doing an away rotation is to increase your odds of getting an interview and matching, after...

In the next week or so, my SO and I will be making a decision for him to move to the bay area for residency (not a medicine residency). I am an MS-3 trying to assess my chances at matching at a program in this area, as this is a huge factor in our decision. Specifically, I am looking at...
