MD & DO Co’22 ERAS Panic Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Well, I got my 15 IIs from [program you want to attend] and am interviewing this afternoon, have heard it strongly suggested that anyone who didn't get invited before 9:30 ET is pretty much chopped liver.

It was nice applying with y'all.

I like what Ortho is doing with having all interview invites go out on the same day and giving applicants 48 hours to respond. This mess of having to pull off on the side of the road to make sure you lock in a spot is crazy.

A logical, equitable means of reducing stress in our lives? Get that nonsense out of here!

You're a champion. I bet you did amazing.
 
Deecee2DO said:
Does this mean responses are super time sensitive and u could end up on the waitlist if you dont respond immediately (like within minutes?). I really hope thats not the case lol and if you are on the waitlist are you not guaranteed to get off?

I definitely ran into this problem. Or, your preferred date just isnt available. It will happen.

Dear random PD,

Any program that makes me do Casper will automatically go down on my ranklist regardless of if I hate myself enough to do it. Even if it's my dream program.

Regards,
F*** you

Why is the residency application process behaving like med school admissions?

I don't even get the point of having MS4s take useless crap like Casper. What are programs thinking?
 
Who is making you guys do Casper? Different programs from the ones already listed?

I wouldn't stress! The only one I got was from my home program and I've been very involved with them over the years. The email was weird too. It came to my school email address and not the one I have through ERAS so I think maybe they were already planning on sending the II but waited til the cycle actually started to do so

God the premed neuroticism is making a revival. I hate this feeling of waiting despite knowing you put your best foot in front of you.

I didn't realize I was neurotic until I had the thought around 3pm today "why haven't my home programs or aways given me an invite yet". Then I proceeded to reddit where I checked and saw that my away had extended an II to people. THEN I got sad, depressed, angry, and applied to more programs. RIP me.....

Yeah, maybe you didn’t react the best way. Take a step back from Reddit and SDN for about 2 weeks when interviews roll in.

If it helps, I’ve heard some programs go straight alphabetical order on app review/invite extension. Give it a few days to see what happens.
 
Im starting to freak out that not having a CK score until November is going to hurt me. Im reading reddit threads where CK doesnt matter if high step 1 and others saying this cycle it matters bc Step 1 PF next yr. But like why would that go into effect now if Step 1 is still numerical for us. I am so screwed if i dont get any IIs until late November/Dec when i get my ck score

I don’t think there is any need to hit the panic button at this point. If I remember, your step 1 was super high so they’ll probably take it as a proxy for your step 2 and assume you’ll do just as well or better.
 
I have my alarm set for about four hours from now and I just can't sleep, and haven't slept more than a couple hours at a time all week so far. I should NOT have picked a difficult rotation for this month - idk what the heck I was thinking. I feel like I'm just going to mess everything up all month long because of a combination of panic and sleep deprivation.

I also think I'll feel better after I get my first interview, so I'll know that that point that I don't have a fatal flaw I'm unaware of like a bad letter or something.

Also the rotations don’t matter outside of your own thirst for learning.
