awww yea 22.5 days left!
ive gotten so many of those and i just finished a month of surgery...Not that you're counting.
I'm just happiest to almost be done with geriatrics rotation at this point. If I hear one more non-radiologist tell me, "This is important to know, even as a radiologist", I'm going to snap.
I feel like time is slowing down the closer we get to match day.
I had to SOAP, but I finally got a spot. I am going to be a radiologist!
Welp...I didn't SOAP, but I got a glimpse of the list of unfilled programs. Not going to name anything to avoid potential match violations, but now I am almost definitely sure where the lowest I'll go down to on my list is. It's a relief, because it's above the rank on my match list that I'd have been happy at.
Had to SOAP for a Rads spot or prelim? Either way, Congrats it all worked out.I had to SOAP, but I finally got a spot. I am going to be a radiologist!

Odds are probably in your favor, but there's always the distinct possibility they didn't rank you at all.
Both Still working on prelim.
One of my colleagues who did not match into his less popular speciality is saying that this happened because all medical students are shying away from Radiology and taking all the Neurology and anesthesia seats!! He said he can SOAP for Radiology and get a position very easy!! I really don't think this is true. Getting interviews and matching for radiology and prelim was very difficult for me as an IMG!!
I really don't care about what was he saying!! but I wonder if you guys think its true!!

Ya, we could use a bit more contraction in residency spotsBasically, we are ~+30 spots from the stable equilibrium.

I'm getting nervous just thinking about opening that envelope tomorrow.
For those of us that ranked prelim programs on the main rank order list, would they have told us if we only matched prelim, but not advanced this past Monday? I ranked 3 prelims on the bottom of my main rank so I'm hoping my match letter will show both prelim and advanced and not just prelim. Thanks...
Both Still working on prelim.
Glad to now be able to say Congrats on being fully matched. Congrats. Probably wasn't how you imagined spending your week, but you persevered.Got a surgery prelim offer at Albert Einstein Montiefiore. Probably not the easiest, but it is better than no prelim. I am amazed at how quick these spots have dwindled.

I'm not doing any. I have the rest of my life for that. Besides, not like I'll be doing all that much on a DR elective anyways.Is everyone here taking two rad electives during their intern year? Any reason why I shouldn't do so?

Any suggestions?Hi,
I am doing some shopping before I start my IM internship next week. In addition to a pair of comfy shoes what should I buy? I don't have a decent stethoscope, should I get a good one? Do I need a reflex hammer and other stuff?
Thanks,
Any suggestions?
