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

When are you planning on taking it?

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.

Think you strong step 1 will get you interviews. Just let programs know ur step 2 will be in before they rank students. Not sure if results are coming back in 2 weeks vs 4weeks anymore.

Same...there have been times I have wondered if my submission was a dream and I forgot to do it despite the fact that it’s obvious I did lol. ERAS-induced psychotic disorder is on its way.

Rando program or your home program/one you auditioned at?
Click to expand...
I don't have a home program. It's random but I wouldn't mind going there. It's a FL program, and no, I didn't audition there. I actually interviewed at my Sub-I already, so technically this is my second interview.

Did you allow your dean to view your application? I don't know if they do this at all schools, but my school was able to go through everyone's applications to check for any incompletions and notify them if they forgot to assign certain documents

So the PD at the program where I auditioned just uploaded my LOR lol. I got excellent feedback from her and know her letter is going to be super strong... I added it to programs that didn't require an IM letter chair (because I only had 3 letters for those programs) but still kind of frustrating that many programs I applied to won't see this letter *sigh*

Also: I guess there's a chance that some programs I uploaded it to won't even see it if they already downloaded my application or what not. Ugh. Such is life I guess!

Maybe but like how is that fair? Its still numerical and what would they even be testing? So frustrating because I believe my app other than not having a CK score is strong. All my hard work would have gone to nothing essentially. I shouldnt have listened to my advisors telling me to wait

My level 2 and Step 2CK scores aren't back yet, and step 1 and level 1 are much much lower (like way lower) than yours and I still got a neuro interview today. I think you should be fine for IM.

Do you have any connection to Florida?

Nope. But I'm an immigrant, and FL's population does include a lot of people from my country. So that may as well be the reason why I actually got the interview. I guess we'll see how other states treat me.

Rads is slow don’t worry. I didn’t get an interview the first week at all. I only got one email the entire first week asking for a supplemental and started getting worried. Interviews will come

Its crazy how much this process controls your emotions. Im not an anxious person at all normally. Today I got one rejection and instantly wondered if I had applied to enough programs (Family med applied to 50 with zero red flags lol). Then my brain went to really dark places. I am on a sub-i at a place with psychology residents and pharmacy residents and even PA residents. They've had students this past week rotating with them as well and I seriously started thinking "what if the residency placed these other students here to test how I interact with them... Are they even students? How much did the residency pay them? Wtf. I can't believe they'd do something like that. I don't even wanna go here anymore."

I snapped outta it

How do you assign separate personal statements to the research and general/regular track at the same program?
Click to expand...
You don't. Tracks are all part of a single ERAS account. You get one personal statement. Don't worry, programs will deal.

Deecee2DO said:
so how does this work can you pick from a variety of interview dates? and does it matter if you pick a date later in the cycle? realistically it would make sense that it doesnt matter when u interview between now and jan since rank is in feb or maybe im wrong
Click to expand...
It makes no difference -- one of the huge benefits of the match
Steve_Zissou said:
Damn, I realized I accidentally applied to the IM primary care track, not prelim track, to one of my top programs. Went and added the prelim, but really hoping that won’t screw me.
Click to expand...
I don't know if you can withdraw from a track -- but you definitely don't want to withdraw your entire app. If it's clear you want the prelim, I'm sure they will figure it out.
