How many programs are you applying to, and what's your specialty of choice?
Just for fun...

I'll start.

18 so far, Family. (I think I applied to too many.)😳

34, urology....holla!

 

[winchester1615]

19, psychiatry

 

[shwtime11]

[pathmad]

So far 10 for pathology, but I might apply to more if I don't get a fair number of interviews.

 

[Tiki]

22 for Path, which is probably too many, but I can't help myself.

 

[genome25]

[ESPNdeportes]

13 for peds

 

[nykka3]

27 for ob/gyn...single w/o kids so applying all over the US!

 

[dmitrinyr]

EM. My grades are borderline and I'm an IMG. I'd take an EM spot anywhere in the US and even PR.

 

[mlw03]

it'll probably end up in the low 20s for pathology

 

[Sharkfan]

27 for Ob/Gyn... I'm couples matching.

 

[JulianCrane]

18 for OB/GYN

 

[Sean2tall]

17 so far, Pathology.
I guess I will add more if it seems necessary.

Boy are there a lot of Path peeps making an appearance. I hope I don't have to worry 😉

 

[Celestron2000]

That and Ob-Gyn...

 

[mdphd2b]

10 for Peds

[deucerp]

me: 13 Ob/Gyn

Think i may have applied to too many, but couldn't cut the list down at all

it's just that we're a vocal group ... go us. 👍

last year there were only 320 us path applicants - i'll be curious to see what the number is this year. it's too early to tell, but maybe as the season progresses we'll see some comments from the residents over in the path forum about the quantity and/or quality of this year's path bunch.

 

[ozarka]

[fantasty]

I'm applying IM, and have 10 applications out. Is it weird that all 10 programs are in different states?

 

[mlw03]

48 OB/GYN... but i am an IMG... still have 50 or so left on my list that i will add if i don't get more interviews ( i have 2 so far)!🙄

did you have to take out a small loan to pay for that alone?! wow, that must have been a LOT of money.

😕 why 2 back-up specialties? Why not 76 Surgery and backup Family?

34 IM but in 4 different states

😕 Aren't you AOA? Why so many?

Anyway, I applied to 20 in EM but will not go on more than 12 interviews (poor).
