This is busiest time of year for this forum. All MS4s are excited/anxious over the residency application process. I am a lurker by nature, but will share the following:
I am stoked with my 13 interviews so far. I would go to any of the three programs where I have already interviewed. I was extremely impressed with two of the programs, which were programs that I was not considering too seriously before I interviewed. I think this portends well for the whole process. For a while I was west coast bound (I have 4 interview offers out west) and I'll still be happy to go out west but I've seen some mighty fine programs in the east too. I was a little weary after getting my Step 1 score back because it was a few points below average, but it doesn?t appear to have limited me the way the rumors had predicted. I take Step II in three weeks.
I have received 5 rejections, all of which disappointed me for about 20 seconds max. I still have to hear from 25 programs. Any extra interviews would be a bonus, but further rejections wouldn't really concern me. I currently planning to interview at all thirteen programs that have offered.
I can't wait for match day 'cause I'll be excited wherever I end up! Are you too not stoked? We are all gonna be frickin? Emergency Medicine doctors in a few years! F?n?A dudes!
