Yeah they do, have Skype downloaded if you don't already have it up and running.Do they also interview via "Skype" and such?

I'm in the SOAP too. Ranked 10 psych programs but came out empty handed. Yikes
I applied to 45 programs, a mix of psych/IM/FM/surg-prelim. I have received 2 calls so far
Same here. I applied OB/Gyn, FM/Surgery Prelim, totally used 43 out of 45 PGs. Zero call so far.Very similar situation here. I got positive interview feedback almost across the board but I guess my test scores tanked me
I applied to psych/peds/FM in the SOAP and I've gotten zero calls thus far.
really?you think its appropriate for you to come on a SOAP thread and ask if you wold have been better off if you could have SOAPed?I matched, but just curious to know if I would have gotten better options location-wise through SOAP
I was already blown away by how competitive FM has gotten throughout interview season. Best of luck with the process!
take whatever offer you get...if you don't get an intern year position, then you will m/l have to forfeit the advanced year...any place, any program is worth the one year of being somewhere you don't care to be to make sure you ultimately get to practice in the field you want to be in for the rest of your career...now is not the time to be picky.Guys so I matched into my advanced position but did not match into my intern year. After my SOAP this afternoon just got my few surgery internship interview offers from I am and where I will do my advanced position, but is surgery really tough compared to TY or medicine prelim? I just don't think my app is competitive for even SOAP TY/prelim medicine. Also do programs know that you matched into advanced position when they review your SOAP app?
DO here. Slightly above avg steps. Was told I was a competitive applicant by many interviewers. Ranked 14 programs. Didn't match. Don't even know how to process this.
havent heard anything yet but good luck to you too!Sorry to hear that. Sounds like you wont have a problem in SOAP. Goodluck to you!
Take a prelim surgery spot and run as fast as you can with it...Guys so I matched into my advanced position but did not match into my intern year.

For those of you who got calls/emails, did you guys submit your application right after 12PM when the ERAS just re-opened? I was wondering whether the timing is that critical. Thanks!
Frankly, I doubt you will match with two failed Step 2 exams and no recorded pass.Had 3 interview ranked 3 programs for a competitive speciality. AMG. did not match. Below average step 1 score. I failed step 2 twice (barely the second time) and taking step 2 again in a few weeks after a lot more studying. I will be able to graduate and all assuming I pass on next attempt. I was not banking on matching and now I applied through SOAP for prelim medicine, TY, and Family med spots. No call stills. Any shot of landing a spot without a step 2 score? This is honestly a nightmare of a process to go through so I feel all of you guys going through this. I hope we all end up where were supposed to be.
Pathology possibly...Frankly, I doubt you will match with two failed Step 2 exams and no recorded pass.
I wish you the best, however.
PDs can only access the applications after 3pm EST. It doesn't matter if you applied at 12pm or 2:59pm EST. So you are good!Thanks Dr.MissWV! I submitted some of mine around 12:13, some at 12:39, the rest around 2:30. Sigh.
I'm thinking the PGs will probably just take a look at those applications on the top of their list based on the time gets in.PDs can only access the applications after 3pm EST. It doesn't matter if you applied 12pm or 2:59pm EST. So you are good!

This is what it says in the email from ERAS this morning. " It makes no difference whether or not you apply right at 12 pm EST or just before 3 pm EST when ERAS will release submitted applications to residency programs. With this in mind, take the opportunity to research your Unfilled Programs List more effectively and efficiently. "I'm thinking the PGs will probably just take a look at those applications on the top of their list based on the time gets in.
They can use any convenient method to contact you. They may interview on the spot or set up phone, Skype or in person interviews.Hi! I'm also SOAPing and just had a quick question: does anyone know if interested programs will email to set up a phone call, or if they will just call? I'm trying to figure out if I can realistically go run errands/move around today without fear that my phone could ring at any moment for a semi-professional interview while I'm driving or out someplace noisy. I know this is likely a dumb question, but given that there is so little I CAN control at this point, I'd like to minimize surprises...
From what I read from last year soap thread was that it can go as late as 10 pm ESTWhat time do calls stop for the night?
Can I ask why you didn’t apply to IM or FM backups?
Did those of you who submitted apps outside of initial application specialty submit a new PS? I tried to but the ERAS program kept acting funky so I simply submitted my initial PS. I only submitted 17 apps out of the 45 available however, as I felt a little overwhelmed to apply to everything. Good luck to all! No calls or emails as of yet. No chance?
I think your application will be reviewed later than ppl who applied before 3pm. but there are ppl who applied a few hrs late. I wouldn't worry so much.I submitted some applications at 3:06, is that really bad?
I submitted different PS (just changed a few words in 2-3 sentences). I think no difference for that.Did those of you who submitted apps outside of initial application specialty submit a new PS?

I appplied to two Pediatrics ones and used my FM Personal Statement. Ehh

Good thing you found out at least. 1 hr and 20 mins is not so late. to your positivityI sent me my application at 12:00 EST but I didn't realize I have to assign my board score and photo until 4:20 EST. I feel incredibly stupid. But let's just try to keep our heads up. No point in keep beating ourselves up.
I read in another thread that they can even call 1 hr before the deadline, and that's how that one applicant matched last yearDoes anyone know if they set up interviews during the day tomorrow? Like when do they stop trying to set up interviews?
Not at all, got step 1 240, step 251 soaping into IM, psych, fm, anesthesia and no calls
Im trying to SOAP into IM. S1/2 243/220, no calls
