That frankly sounds like a terrible idea. Do not send a letter clearly for a different time or specialty. Confirm with the current letter writer when it will be ready and if it’s going to be another 1-2 weeks, check with the previous writer for an updated letter only. Do not use a letter saying internal medicine.Dear all, I applied on 07/17/2019 with 3 LORs. However, the following day, I received an email from one of the programs I applied to upload the fourth LOR. My attending is a super busy professional who promised me to write LOR 2 months ago but haven't uploaded/provided me with LOR till date despite multiple reminders through in-person meeting/emails. Nonetheless, I have a copy of LOR provided by my research mentor prior to joining residency. But it clearly stated his recommendations for IM Residency. Now that, I am left with no option, do you think I can upload the 4th LOR even though it highly recommends for a residency spot but not a fellowship spot? Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.
PS: I emailed my research mentor to see if he can update LOR but haven't heard back from him yet

When is usually the last interview day for cardiology fellowship?
Are these invitations or rejections
238/239/1st attempt/215, IMG on J-1 currently a third-year chief at a University-affiliated community hospital. 7-8 publications mostly as first author (all cardiology related, 2 retrospective studies) and a couple in pipeline (4 case reports). Multiple poster presentations (AMA winner and 2nd prize at ACC regional chapter). I am applying to 135 programs, but not very hopeful given how competitive Cardiology is especially if you're not graduating from a 'big place'. What do you guys think my chances are realistically and are you aware of any non-ACGME fellowship places for J-1 visa holders.
It does not change. I'm positive because the ECU send me an email to take the CASPER test, who it sends to everyone that applies there, but the Track Assigned Documents still say Available even when I know they downloaded the documents
I agree. However, as far as I remember last year the status were changing at least the status “ downloaded “. May be I am delusional and you are correct.
can anyone who has received an invite verify?
It says available regardless of whether they’ve downloaded it or not. I know because the program coordinator at my home program contacted me to ask a question about something on my app, and has presumably downloaded my app, but it still says all of my files are “available” under track documentscan anyone who has received an invite verify?

are step3 score used as cut off? if so what is the typical cut off score?
Got an email earlier from USF Morsani to be on the lookout for interview invites in the next 8-10 days. Assuming they sent this to everyone that applied because they also mention that they can’t offer interviews to everyone and only select 60 applicants
When I got the email I thought it was an interview, and got super excited.
Said a few choice words when I realized it was not lol
The waiting is pretty terrible already.
got the same feeling
I don’t think so. Once it’s sent, it’s sent, and 4 is the max. Or at least that’s what I remember from the prompt that pops up when youre assigning those letters.Can I change a recommendation letter? I’ve already submitted 4 letters, can I substitute one of those letters for another?

Can you share with us your application strengths and weaknesses?Hi guys. For those of you who are IMGs requiring visa, the season is still very early. Don’t be nervous, and remain hopeful. When I applied last season, my first interview came after 3 weeks of application, and I got 9 interviews in that week alone. The rest kept coming slowly in the following few weeks and eventually got 25+ IVs.
It is stressful to keep waiting but your time will come. Be helpful to each other and good luck!
Can you share with us your application strengths and weaknesses?
Many thanks in advance
I initially applied to about 120 programs. (Which are mostly IMG friendly). In the following 1-3 weeks I applied to another 50 programs especially those in the west coast due to personal reasons but the yield from these extra 50 programs was very low and probably not worth the money if you don’t have a strong reason to be at the west coast. Got only 1 interview from these 50 programs.
