To be honest, I'm not sure there's much benefit in listing an observership; you're a resident, so your clinical exposure isn't in question. Did you want to keep it because it demonstrated a connection to a specific hospital or mentor?
I am listing everything. They can choose and pick at whatever they want to look at, I don't think its hard to navigate through application.
Not really actually.
Eh, well, I don't think it matters much either way. When I was applying for residency, I listed an observership I'd had as a med student, but I deleted it for this round of applications. If it was meaningful and/or HO-relevant, I think it would be totally reasonable to include it. Basically, don't worry too much. It's not going to be the thing that makes-or-breaks your application, IMHO.
To be honest, I think that PDs expect these kinds of things. It happens to applicants every single year. I don't think this is worth worrying about either. Nothing you can do about it anyway, haha. Best of luck to you this cycle!
Submit before July 21 anyways. The letter will come eventually and you’ll get invited no matter what. The programs know that letter will come
Thank you very much! You too!
I did and I was cheesed about it, lol. No idea why they withdrew, sadly. Let us know if you get your money back!who applied to g-dub? anybody know why they were and then suddenly were not accepting applications? i asked for a refund
they said they are taking a year off the match this year.
You will not get your money back. The money goes to ERAS, not the program.
Rats. Well, I figured that would be the case. C’est la vie…
exactly, no worries!
Me too.
same..im split about these acknowledgement emails 😆 its like "thank you for your interest............."
Same-rejection IMG requiring visa
also @Galatumumab ...
Hey, they do. This is per their website *The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill only accepts J1 visas and permanent residents. I'm on a J1 visa.
same, US DO requiring VISA - rejected from UNC
well that seems...like they need a new webmaster. what a pain. sorry to hear it and best to you.
Hahaha! It does! Thank you for your sympathy though!
best to you as well!!!
2 points.
I didn’t apply to UNC, so I can’t speak to them. I was not officially rejected from BIDMC despite being an IMG (but have not been offered an interview or anything). No visa requirements. I do think that being an IMG is something of a hindrance for us, unfortunately. Hard to know how much is auto-rejection.
What do you mean? If asking when programs interview it’s mostly August-October. For anyone else reading planning to apply next year do not wait to apply waiting for your LORs to be uploaded. Programs know the letters will come. Apply before the release date (this year July 21st). Otherwise your application is submitted later than the vast majority of applications.
Same here! Looking at the spreadsheet looks like programs are taking a bit longer to review apps this year. I wonder too if some are still debating virtual vs hybrid. In any case, not much to do but wait!
I’m starting to fire up my switch to distract me from my quiet email.
Same!
lolll saaaame
No email at all, acknowledgements have also stopped nowIs anyone else getting waitlisted already?
