I shouldn't be, if you already accepted the offer I don't think its considered illegal.

SOAP 2014 Thread

I think you should be able. I would assume offering a spot= they initiate a contact.

they called u for this spoy or some other offer
They probably won't download until after 5 when the new round starts. So far i haven' had any phone calls. don't know what 10 programs to apply to now...
I d/l to 4 programs at 2:30 .... and 3 have downloaded .... originally was soaping into FM .... but sent in my first 4/10 for path ... I received a call for path... some hope for me now .... I think the reason is that I dont think many ppl are applying path
Hang in there
I heard from some of my classmates that the MD match for family has been particularly brutal for DOs this year
barefoot, I feel for you brother. Tough to swallow especially with so many interviews and not matching.
I have no offers so far either and am unsure how to proceed with my life.
I'm waiting til 5 to see the new list before I blow any of my 10 slots.
that's what I understand, yes
Thanks, it is difficult to imagine that med school is ending this way :/ this is supposed to be the happiest week of the entire med school.

holy cow there is NOOOOOTHING left.
aaaaand that sound you just heard was the end of my medical career.
this entire process is a gigantic piece of dog poo-poo
Yeah, that's lame. I understand they need to minimize network traffic, but I'm forced to sit here with my fresh NRMP data until it's back. Lovin' it.
me too, I can't even find a tear at this point.
Consulting firms, pharmaceutical co's (sales reps) or go into education.

I hate to say it, but after SOAPing last year, I spent all that time and money on Step 3 and nailed it. Didn't change a thing for me this year.
Like I said in an earlier post, when SOAP is over this year, I'm out. The higher powers are telling me to do something else.
eras is back
care to elaborate what you mean by 'go into education'?
middle school gym teacher? it's the only thing I'm really qualified for at this point.
Are you an IMG or old graduate?? Why do you think its the end of the road for you?? DON'T GIVE UP!!!
Some states have a program called lateral entry, look it up.
3 yrs-ago graduate, US citizen and US MD grad, ex-resident, contract non renewal because I made an attending mad.
OMG that's horrible. I think I'm still worse than you. Graduated IMG more than 5 years ago, only have research and nothing else but my steps which I was not stellar in. =(
I'm not sure if you're worse than me. Neither of us have a job.
True, but I wouldn't give up just yet. I have a friend that passed step 1 until the 4th attempt and he is almost starting his second yr, this helps me not give up. I only have 1 attempt on step 1 so maybe there is hope. 😉
so it doesnt matter if we use PS and LOR from FM or IM for prelim surgery
hey, just know we are rootin for ya bud... stay strong!
if a program is participating in the SOAP, do they HAVE to fill it in the SOAP? There is still a Derm slot available in the SOAP and I know they are downloading our applications.
No. Unfilled slots do not have to be filled in SOAP, or at all. A Derm program is probably trolling through them for stellar apps and then may just wait and fill outside the match somewhere.
No, they don't have to fill in the SOAP. After the end of SOAP tomorrow, they can go outside the Match and get someone.
awesome...

I am both an IMG and an older grad🙂) I guess this means the end of the road for me??🙂 even with a greencard!
anyone knows anything about becoming a surgical first assistant? good? bad? no jobs? plenty of jobs??
I think I know your sister. I am so, so, so happy for her! She's going to be an excellent neurologist!
