Hey guys, so I have failed to secure any anesthesia position for the second straight year. USMD from a mid-high level program, 250/251/1st pass CS/Pending Step 3 score result, HPs clerkship grades, good rec letters (apparently). SOAPed into a prelim position after not matching with 8 IV. Worked on my interviewing skills and did some pain case reports to beef up my resume. I got 10IVs from high level programs and newer programs to fall back on. 20 ranks (R,A,C) for this cycle. Still didn't match. I got multiple interviews in SOAP for R spot positions but no offer and they're all gone now.
At this point, I don't know what else to do or fix. I've put so much into trying to become an anesthesiologist but it's not working and I don't know why and neither does anyone else. I've had my profile looked over by homeschool PD for any reason as why what is going on, but I'm not getting a reason. Fail to match and SOAPing once is painful, doing it twice feels like hell especially when the numbers basically say I'm a lock to match.
