Hey guys, I understand that fresh medical graduates start their residencies in early July. But, it seems that I find myself in a situation where I would not be able to start a residency program until early September, due to the fact that I'll be finished with my MS-4 by late August. Are program directors going to look unfavorably on this? Thanks guys!

Hey
I am in the same situation as you were in 2004 and I am emailing to see how things turned out for you. I hope everything worked out well, and I was hoping to get some advice from you as to how program directors reacted to the possibllity of a late start for residency. I would really appreciate it if you could please respond at your earliest convenience. It's funny because I searched all of SDN and I couldn't find any relevant posts besides yours which is from 2004!
Hope all is well.

FYI:
this topic has been discussed extensively and every year. I'd venture your search terms were not thorough enough.
obecalp has not posted on SDN in 4 years (although interestingly logged in yesterday) so you may not get a response.
