First of all, I would like to wish everyone here the best of luck with the upcoming match results.. I am not trying to get you guys more anxious!
This early thread is for guys like me who registered for the match pretty late or those who for any reason know they wont match -e.g. no interviews-
I would like to open a discussion and make sure we are all ready for SOAP
I am starting with the first question, appreciate if anyone has an answer:
Regarding applying in the first and second rounds, seems like I am having trouble finding out the exact rules? is there a specific time to apply to all 35 programs during first round or do you get to apply for 35 programs ALL THROUGH Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday? what is the best sequence to apply in regards to the offer rounds if so?
the reason behind my question is for example if you apply to all 35 programs before the first round, and you are ranked low, after the first round on Wednesday, you may find out that all the programs you applied to have filled up, thus you have no hope for the subsequent rounds until you apply to ten more programs on Thursday?
And if you apply to say 20 programs only on mon/tue, do you get to apply to more programs during the offers on Wednesday say after the first round when you know which programs have filled already?
one more question: If a program I applied to in round one has not ranked me and was not filled, does that mean they still carry my application till round two (of course its logic if they bypass you first they wil probbaly bypass you again! but just theoretically)?
it's coming soon! all help is appreciated! thanks!
