Just wondering if you, or anyone you know, applied to only 1 program.

bente said:A LOT of people have only applied to one program, or not ranked any. I know this wasn't your question...but a lot of independent applicants have accepted positions out of the match. You visit, they ask you, you go. If not, you try your next spot. This is less frequent these days, but still happens. But to rank only one is very risky. And yes, in the scramble, you need to fax them all the info anyway, so the skipped NRMP story is suspect, but not impossible (but you still need to construct a CV , personal statement, fwd transcripts etc...so, you save some bucks and risk that unmatched slots are all in bad spots).
He must be a super-human or a person with superb-luck! Oh Lord ... what a paradise!Apollyon said:A guy from my school applied to only 1 EM program, at a hospital where he had done 1 year of Ob. His wife was also Ob, and they had a child (after he did his Ob-1 year, he quit the program to be a stay-at-home dad). He and I were the only 2 FMG's they interviewed that year (on the same day), and he matched.

Believe it or not ... I'm. You see the question of preference only comes-in, when one has a choice in the first place! This is my last year to apply. I'll take the first one that comes along and be done with it. For the second year then, I heard, the whole world opens up and the scores (I&II) don't expire. Thanks.fourthyearmed said:Are you serious? You really would have absolutely no preference in where you go?
