Each year many candidates who do not meet NRMP deadline in February are taken off the MATCH automatically ... Now is there a chart or information about those candidates [ US AMG's . US FMG's , IMG's ] and the specialties the applied to ?
Only IMG's are removed from the match this way, for not having their step scores in by the ROL deadline. US grads, regardless of citizenship / background, are only removed from the match if they will not graduate from medical school by July 1st.
As far as I know, the NRMP does not publish any data on these candidates. Because they are removed from the match, many may not submit an ROL and hence the NRMP may not know what field they were interested in.
Again for instance if a candidate did not have a Step score , and was not invited to the programs he/ she applied to [ maybe the most preferred location/ program] ....if he/ she passed the exam in December 2007 ... the he/ she would be able to update programs through ERAS ... will the programs automatically detect such updates ? also even if you notify programs will all interview slots filled up by the time your score is released... what should one do ?
I'm not 100% clear on what you're asking.
As mentioned in multiple other threads, as an IMG it is tremendously in your favor to have both step scores reported by Nov 1st.
If you don't, but get your scores back in Dec/Jan/Feb, the results will update to ERAS if you release your scores. Will programs "notice" this? Yes -- in two ways. First, everytime we download information the system allows us to print out all the new downloaded information -- so your new score report would be printed and added to your file.
More importantly, any filters created by PD's to screen for "complete" applications would see your new scores. Each PD can define a complete application any way they want, but if you assume that the program you are interested in wants both Steps, once you have both reported the next time the PD runs a report looking for complete apps, yours will appear.
Having a late application might cause all of the interview slots to be filled. In this case, many programs have waitlists -- but it can be quite expensive / inconvenient to be told 48 hour beforehand that there is an interview slot open.
Or, for example, what I do is collect IMG applications in October, reject the people I'm sure I'm not going to interview, and then the first week of November I sort through the group of quality applications I have and choose who to interview and who not. After that, I keep an eye out for other good IMG applications, but you would really need to stand out to get an interview.
So, the best answer is not to get in this position in the first place by having all of your exam results by Nov 1st. If you are in this position, you apply and hope for the best. Once rejected from a program, it's unlikely that you will get an interview when your scores come in. Once they do, you could consider contacting all of the programs that have not offered you an intervew nor rejected you and alert them to your new scores.
