Hi All, ANYONE ELSE BEEN THRU THIS WHO HAS SWITCHED PROGRAMS?
I haven't really written on here since I was a med student, but need some help. I'm currently doing my prelim year, and have decided to switch my advanced matched radiology spot from upstate new york (where i am now) to a well known program in dallas to be closer to family.
I heard about the opening, had a formal interview process and verbally was told my chairman and PD that i got accepted to the dallas program, and now will give up my matched program in Buffalo. Here's the problem, although I requested it, I haven't gotten any written confirmation of my acceptance to dallas since legally i haven't officially given up the buffalo program, and therefore dallas cannot write an acceptance letter!
my question is: should i be worried?! i know i'm overlly paranoid since i've heard of other ppl being screwed over, but this is a well known reputed program, and they wouldn't go back on their word, right? !Essentially i'm giving up a secure spot (buffalo), and will techinically be without a secured spot in dallas until the paperwork/contract work is done in a week or so. Is this the normal prcess? HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN IN SIMILAR SIUTATIONS? Anyone who has made a switch MUST have gone thru this too, right??!!
plz help ASAP. Dallas is waiting for me to give up BUFFALO!
