Is It Too Late To Contact Programs

The last two months have been crazy for me and I never got my thank-you letters out. I am mailing them out today. Do you think it is too late?

Not necessarily. Programs usually don't finalize their rank lists until at least middle of february. I contacted a couple of programs in early feb last year about step II results and I got a couple of replies about how it was good timing because they were going to meet soon to finalize the rank list.

Just out of curiosity, how come you're only sending them out now?

Depends. We finalized our list last Monday.

But its a nice touch to send the letters so if you have the time, as others have said, some programs are still finalizing their lists so it might make a difference (albeit not significant) at those places.

Better to send them now than to not send them at all.

Gen Surg is the only one I know about; not sure when any of the others did/will do their ROLs.
