Yup, same issue here.

 

[VickyPath]

hi vickypath Why do u intend to change from IM to path? Which colleges did u apply

Hi Path1980, to answer your question, I guess I was one of the many students that follow the masses into clinical specialties, and once I was there I realized that that was not what I wanted, and when I started to interact with the pathologists from the hospital I just started to love the specialty and could not believe I didn't think of it before!!..........I guess it's never too late

 

[Nor2themax]

Add me to the list! M4 in Kentucky applying to Path. I also did the post-sophomore fellowship in Pathology Applying to.....

U Arizona
U Kentucky
Vandy
U Virginia

[flybutter]

thought i'd add my name to the list. i'm md/phd from AECOM. i have been looking for some advice and even though i asked endless questions of the residents during my path elective, now that i'm applying i have so many more. looks like this is the place to be.

i know the issue of which track to apply to is covered in other threads, but i'm wondering, does anyone ever apply to more than one track per program? i'm waffling. does anyone know if you apply ap/cp, if you can switch at any point? or would you check ap/cp, and also ap/research, and just rank them on your match list? or would you just apply ap/cp and talk to the program director at some point? i don't know how flexible the programs are in terms of number of ap/cp, ap only, cp only they take per year. i'm so confused. i only sent in the apps to schools that offer only one choice at this point because i have no idea!

i'm applying east coast/west coast. starting peds monday and still working on 2 manuscripts. i have no idea how that's going to work.

I think most programs would be willing to entertain the alternate options regardless of what you selected, the exception probably being that if you say AP/CP and you change your mind to CP only, that leaves them with less people to cover the workload.

I generally selected AP/CP combined on all applications but program directors were usually willing to discuss AP only or AP+something. Many recommend combined, as it makes you more rounded for jobs, but they are certainly willing to work with you. If you check both boxes on ERAS I don't believe it will make much difference in the actual match except to indicate to them that you are considering both. You probably won't have to rank them separately unless the program has strict AP and CP programs.

I had the same question. Thanks that helped me a lot. I only wish I had looked at it before I applied.

 

[flybutter]

thanks for the link...i'm definitely applying to ap/cp, will most likely check ap only box to express my possible interest, hopefully that won't hurt anything.

Nope, not a word.

 

[TMZ2007]

Any suggestions as to when to cap the number of interviews? I'm at 14 interviews right now!

I'm a Caribbean ms4 with good lors and good scores, states, etc. I applied to over 50 programs and now I'm starting to think the invites are going to continue to come in... My lovely (I have reviewed it) Deans letter hasn't even posted yet! I just want to make sure I match.......

i'm at 14 too, and for what its worth i started turning down offers from places i wasn't terribly excited about. i figure based on what HAS come in, that more invites will come through the door from places i'd rather rank. but i do NOT want to 14 interviews to begin with. man, they are exhausting. i do not like talking about myself that much.

 

[Amylacea]

Hey peeps,
I am reviving this from the "dead thread bin" for all those that are done with interviews and are now in the longest most boring waiting room ever! It's called the "match day waiting room" and I am now going to be sitting in it every day. Are you done with interviews and now have only useless rotations? Then you also belong in this room.
I don't do well with lots of time on my hands, so lets talk about ways to waste it. Anything interesting on the interweb? I've been through www.hulu.com quite a bit. I'm not interested in doing anything requiring brain power- waiting room material only.

Congrats - I won't know until tomorrow afternoon! I would suggest you either start a new thread for the 2009 Match or post in the ROL thread though.

 

[multiplemyeloma]

Congradulations to all of those that matched, could you please post where you matched and if possible some credentials so next year's applicants know where to apply and what the standards of programs are.

 

[wvugirl]

Casting a wide net is great, if you can afford it. I had 15 interviews around the country, and wound up staying locally, but interviewing around gave me a great perspective on different styles of program... it also let me meet a lot of big name people and future resident colleagues, so that part was fun.

One caveat I will have about recommendations - the information / impression you hear from people will often be semi-wrong or based on dated information... so try to keep a semi-open mind. At the same time, if you hear something from multiple sources, there's probably some truth to it.

Additionally, don't forget the growing database of residnecy interview reviews here. Pathology has one of the higher amounts of reviews, and I am in the process of slowly adding all mine. The 2008 applicants thread and rank/match threads might be useful too.

Finally, I want to throw in my recommendation for the program I'll be joining in July, Methodist in Houston... obviously I can give you a more inside perspective after July 1, but it has terrific faculty, great training, happy residents, excellent benefits, an incredible research track, and the cost of living cannot be beat! There are several programs in the area you could work into a single visit... and if you come down, I promise to buy you a beer.

Please do tell me about Methodist...i'm applying exclusively to the three programs in houston because my husband matched as a Fellow at Baylor and we'll be moving to houston next year...what do u think they were lookong for? highg scores,work experience? how was the faculty and program itself? I actually have applied a little late (my docs downloaded by the programs only recently)..till when do you think I should expect a call if they are sending me one at all...and what do u think I could do to improve my chances of getting one now?
I'd love to hear a reply..anything u tell me will help loads!

Anybody knows about Jackson Memorial , Miami and Pathology residency there

yes it's early, but now that the 2008 match is over and done with, i thought i'd start a thread for the 2009 group. It'll be nice to see who's out there and how we fare throughout this process. so at the bottom of this I'll start a list and then when people add to it please copy the prior list and add yourself, such that a cumulative list gets posted with each new declared applicant.

as mlw03 did, i'll post some of the programs i hope to get some love from:

OHSU
Vermont
Dartmouth
Utah
Pitt
Penn State
SUNY Upstate
UC Davis
Duke
UNC
Wake Forrest
Yale
VCU
West Virginia
UNM
U Colorado
U Maryland

i'd say thats the more ambitious excerpts from my complete list. so if i get interviews from 1/4 of these places i'll be tickled.
