Hello friends,
For me, things are looking bleak regarding SOAP. I am still hoping to match a peds residency, or a TY if that somehow works out. If I get nothing in SOAP, I plan to contact AOA peds programs and see if they have any openings.
If that doesn't work, then I'll look at AOA TY programs.
If that doesn't work, what are my options? I would likely apply to peds programs again next year.
Application: DO student at middle of class. COMLEX I ~550, and COMLEX II ~420 (that's my red flag..). Passed clinical skills exam. All first try. One very strong letter from my regional-dean who's a pediatrician; one private practice pediatrician letter whom "wants me to take over his practice/join him" in a few years; one family medicine letter that's probably mediocre. No research experience. Lots of volunteer experience through my church.
Thanks.
