I highly doubt a program is going to take the time to figure out all the logistics to schedule your interview, pay for your dinner, breakfast, lunch, and maybe hotel. Then say I would have ranked him in the top 50%, meaning you’d probably match, but I’m too lazy to send him an email to ask about his CS score.
I was asked at a few interviews about my CS. I emailed a few programs I had higher interest in that i got my score.
It is not uncommon to match even with a failed Step 2cs ( only USMDs). They just need to pass before they graduate.
True. But you shouldnt worry AT ALL if you passed it first time
It was more just worrying that programs entered their rank lists already and saw my CS hadn’t been reported yet and counted it against me.
Ah, i highly doubt it.
it makes me nervous that y'all liking my post rather than confirming.
You also need to make sure your school has verified you too.
I can’t wait to start residency, but intern is definitely going to be brutal since it’s not in my preferred specialty.
I feel this. As it gets more real, starting to doubt my previous rank list and changing it to rank my home program #1 to avoid change
Sounds like you're good to go!
I've been the same way. I've had my list certified and unchanged for two weeks (double and triple checked using apps and nearly every time my answers came out the same) but I've still logged into NRMP multiple times to make sure I wasn't imagining being certified. Even now as I type this I'm questioning whether or not my memory is failing me.
I went into editing mode just to re-certify and get the email.
Same here!
Pray.
Me too. But I’ve been having a few celebratory nips
I can’t believe some bean counter at the AAMC knows if and where I matched and I have to wait a month
Would it make you feel better to know it's actually 2.5 weeks? Look at that! One week already down!
I count March 20th as match day which is 3.5 weeks away (3 weeks 2 days), but you could make an argument that it's 2.5 weeks to Monday of match week, but the day that everyone is really waiting for is March 20th
n=1 but for me, trying to get into med school was much more stressful--applied to 54 med schools, got straight up rejected by 50, interviewed at 4, waitlisted at all 4, and didn't get accepted until mid-May. By then I had already rewritten a personal statement and was scrambling to figure out a plan B bc the chance of getting off any of these WLs after traffic day was very low. Waiting for Match Day isn't as stressful because if you've played your cards right, there's a high rate of success for matching. Yes it may suck that you don't get your top choice but at the end of the day you're going to be a doctor regardless, and that's something that you've worked incredibly hard to achieve and should be proud of!
But you're a med student who has gone through both the med school app process and match so your opinion is valid.
