I'm currently a 3rd year applying for EM auditions. My step 1 is 244 and I'm aiming for programs in SoCal or NYC.
I was wondering if anyone had advice pertaining to the vsas applications, specifically the statement of intent that VSAS asks for? I'm writing about things specific to that program, but I'm having trouble trying to write about things that EVERYONE ELSE won't also target
Also wondering about the timing - what will submitting the application a week or two later than usual do for my chances? A few are open but I'm still getting my vaccinations in order so I can't submit yet
And last question- the "ERAS style photo" - could I take a picture of myself in a business suit against a white wall and still be okay? or does it have to be THAT professionally done?
Thought I would post in the EM resident forum since y'all obviously know what you were doing as a third year if you're here now. Thanks in advance!!
