15 minutes and counting everyone! Good luck to Y'all! I really do hope we all get offers!

 

[Detergentttt]

You guys, we just have to talk all the lady PGY-1 residents into getting pregnant and taking extended maternity leaves. Then we poach their open positions. Better yet, let's go get them pregnant.

How are you going to do that, "Sally"?

 

[holyhekshler]

This is so freaking anxiety provoking

 

[badnewstime1]

Does anybody know if we have to reapply to the same program each round?
For instance, if I applied to program X on monday, I don't get an offer in Round 1, and they still have an opening in Round 2, do I have to use one of the 10 additional applications to reapply to program X? Or does the single application on Monday carry forward through the whole week? I have been searching and reading the policies and can't get a clear answer.

God, I never felt sooooo nervous in my life. My feet are actually numb from all the anxiety.

From what I understand, Our applications remain in the pool for round two and we do not reapply to those programs but they can rerank us as they choose.

11:55! The offers are locked in! Now we wait!

 

[barefootrunner]

It just says offers for current round are being generated 🙁 no offers

 

[uncal_hernia]

It just says offers for current round are being generated 🙁 no offers

[iPodtosis]

It just says offers for current round are being generated 🙁 no offers

Same for me

 

[ankyara]

It just says offers for current round are being generated 🙁 no offers

I got this same message. That means I got no offers?

 

[YoungJeezy]

still says offers are being generated for me. i know i have at least 1 guaranteed position

 

[123tbd]

del

 

[xylinus]

Okay, so I have a message on the NRMP website that says "Offers are being generated for the current offer round" _ What does this mean?!

 

[premdAshley]

Haven't posted on here in a loooooong time. But I got the same message about offers being generated. 🙁

 

[ankyara]

If anyone got an offer pl post!

 

[holyhekshler]

Where are you guys seeing that message?

 

[Member052888]

Yeah I do not understand that either...has anyone received an offer yet!

 

[polarbear68]

Okay, so I have a message on the NRMP website that says "Offers are being generated for the current offer round" _ What does this mean?!

means you didnt get offers round 1 and need to wait till round 2 for next set of offers

 

[SOAPapian]

still says offers are being generated for me. i know i have at least 1 guaranteed position

same here.. do we know for sure it means no offers or just the system is compiling them and we have to check later?

 

[Member052888]

Where are you guys seeing that message?

In the NRMP R3 system

 

[sys71082]

dont freak our guys....it always says "offers are being generated..." before they send or dont send offers. this is based on experience from last year except this time it seems to be even slower since its been 5 min already. last year it took around 2-3 minutes.

 

[je355804]

So does that message mean unequivocally you weren't made an offer? What a stupid message if that's what it means.

 

[xylinus]

still says offers are being generated for me. i know i have at least 1 guaranteed position

Since you know you have at least one guaranteed position , could you let us know when your offer arrive? The panic has set in! Thanks!!

 

[Untraditional]

Anyone get an email yet? My screen says offers being generated.

 

[polarbear68]

did anyone from this group get any offers yet????

 

[ankyara]

means you didnt get offers round 1 and need to wait till round 2 for next set of offers

for sure? you got an offer through the NRMP system?

 

[Detergentttt]

dont freak our guys....it always says "offers are being generated..." before they send or dont send offers. this is based on experience from last year except this time it seems to be even slower since its been 5 min already. last year it took around 2-3 minutes.

what was the message LAST YEAR IF YOU DIDNT GET AN OFFER? "SORRY"?

 

[Ilka]

I got the same message, offers being generated for current round. I think this means we have no offers =(

 

[sys71082]

it is just compiling results when it says that

 

[holyhekshler]

Ok sorry thanks I found it, getting the same message.

 

[Overpro]

I got that message too on the NRMP website.

I got an e-mail right at noon that said "noreply" and I got super excited...only to find that it was from a PD from a program I interviewed at months ago that filled just saying "good luck on the match." Probably something that got lost in the system....thanks for that heart attack...

 

[sys71082]

if you dont get an offer it just says something like "you have no offers currently. next round begins at..."

 

[scramblerpatel]

being generated

 

[iPodtosis]

Got an offer in prelim -surg

 

[Untraditional]

I would fail a suicide risk assessment right now.

 

[Kissmyabjj]

This is ****ed.

 

[Untraditional]

Got an offer in prelim -surg

So this means anyone else without an email has no offers?

****. Me.

 

[YoungJeezy]

I have 1 offer from the one I expected. I dont know if I should be getting more

 

[sys71082]

i think theyre having some system issues....last year it generated for a couple minutes its already been almost 10

 

[Detergentttt]

i think theyre having some system issues....last year it generated for a couple minutes its already been almost 10

PEOPLE ARE already getting offers. it's over

 

[je355804]

does anyone have anything besides "offers being generated? i.e. a negative response?

 

[Untraditional]

i think theyre having some system issues....last year it generated for a couple minutes its already been almost 10

Others are already getting offers. I think we're f******.

 

[xylinus]

Howe long do we wait before we know we are screwed. This is really B***SH**!

 

[streamer]

being generated, next offer at 3 🙁

 

[holyhekshler]

Holy **** my sister got 5 offers for medicine prelim, we were screaming. She is DO, matched advanced into Neuro. 4 more med prelim spots will be available for the next round.

 

[je355804]

has anyone got a "no offers" message?

 

[sys71082]

the "offers are being generated" cannot be the message for people who dont get an offer unless they have some system error because 1) that message makes no sense in that case 2) last year that same message came up but it was followed up after a couple minutes by saying you have no offers so that was much more clear. this si strange.

 

[Ilka]

My still says offers being generated. =( I think its over!!

 

[Leukocyte]

The problem with the scramble/SOAP is that it is biased towards the programs. In addition, programs are "not really" scrambling, like the applicants are. Programs do not have to fill all their spots in the scramble. In fact many would rather take their sweet time to interview and cherry pick applicants...so programs are never as desparate as the applicants. So it is not a fair system. To be more fair, programs should be pushed to fill all thier spots IN SOAP, so that both applicants and programs are on the same level of desparation. But sadly, the system is not fair (meaning biased).
