thanks for all the support. day one of the scramble didn't go as planned but i do have some leads for 2mrw. 29 seats/ 15 progs left of the orginal 54 seats/30 progs so i am hopeful. (please dont ask me for the list. it wont happen until the 16th.)
there was 5% unfilled at the start of the scramble. now about 2.5% left. IM was 2% unfilled and FM was about 15% unfilled.
i cant really complain too much. i took my step 2 on January 17th. this created 2 problems. one was that i got less interviews. (only 5.) a lot of those IMG friendly NY progs interview early. I got my score about a week before the ROL deadline. This was too late for prematch offers and maybe even for the match as I saw those with lower scores get prematched. The only things going for me is that I passed on the 1st attempt and that I am a US citizen. another which i am gonna stress is that if u r an IMG it is crucial to have done an observership in psych. I was asked about this in several programs and I am sure it was a consideration for many more. If i go for the next match I will do an observership, research and step 3. I already have some minor semi-psych research under my belt along with a publication credit.
anyways i want to thank everyone for their support. i am nu to this forum but i find myself spending a lot of time here and i would like to wish every1 luck and congradulate those that matched.
