Letter of Interest before Rank list submission

[The kitchen sink]

Members don't see this ad.

Just wanted to get an idea how you guys approached this.

1) Only told your #1 program they are ranked #1

2) Told top few programs that they were 'ranked highly' or some sort of variation

3) Neither or Both

4) It's too late, your screwed buddy.

5) Thanks!

Just for context, I am applying Internal Medicine and will be submitting my rank list for this upcoming match.

I didn't send any "I'm ranking you highly/#1" emails to any of my programs. I'm not playing that game.

Considering rank lists are due next week, I'd say just about every program out there has finalized their lists already.

Combination of 1 and 2. But this type of thing is expected and nearly required in the field I'm applying for.

Which is?

I'm also interested in the importance of these emails. After interviewing, I sent personalized thank you cards to PDs and interviewers. After that, I have not communicated much with programs. I am applying Peds. It seemed counter-intuitive to partake in this type of communication during this "match" where there are "violations" for communicating certain info with programs.

Duplicate in IM. Closing. Go there to comment on this tired, irrelevant topic.
