Hey everybody. I'm a third year DO student who's finding it next to impossible to even schedule an em elective. I have an elective scheduled for June and another sept-mid October. Everywhere else has been either a rejection or is still pending (won't hear back from vsas for about a month I'm assuming and for a July rotation that would give me only a few weeks to scramble for a place for that slot. Don't even know where I would scramble since I'm already out of luck with planning ahead).
So my questions are:
Is a mid October finish date too late for a SLOR assuming I can't get another elective scheduled this summer?
If I'm planning to only do the DO match, would a SLOR from an MD program be disadvantageous? (Tho if I can't even get DO electives I'm sure I won't get MD ones.)
So stressed and frustrated. Scored in the 90th percentile on level 1 and thought I'd be competitive for some good programs. Now who knows if I'll even be able to apply due to lack of letters...
