A couple of programs that I applied to in Round-1 are unmatched. However, it won't give me an option to apply to them even though I have 2 apps vacant???

As a non-US IMG who needs visa is it even worth calling once the unfilled program list is released after the second round?
 
If no one is getting calls from programs, it could be that programs are only considering people they have already interviewed. Seems like I'll be in the 3pm group who will be calling programs. Good luck everyone!

please share something about what could be the best option for us non US imgs who require VISA?
 
after round 2 if i don't get any offers, should I call programs or email my cv to program coordinator and PD?

Some of my programs still have spots left. My top choice is gone though. Bummer.

Absolutely get on the horn with these places and tell them you’d love to work with them and will accept their offer without question if they extend you one.

I did, and had a program promise me an offer as well. I really hope they mean it this time. It's last call at the bar and I'm pretty desperate.

That one anesthesia program with that many spots still has to be an error. There's just no way that can be real.

I really don't get it... why I didn't get any offer.. I work hard and good student... and good score.. all I need was one prelim spot.. not even categorical...
 
At 3 PM, they post all unfilled SOAP slots plus all programs not participating in the SOAP right? Do they get posted to the same place? Or is there a separate place that programs not participating in the SOAP gets posted? Are there historically a lot of programs not in the SOAP?
 
"You do not have any offers" - this line just stares at you from the screen, I can hear this impish laughter.... Am I going crazy?

If they promised, that’s as good of a guarantee as you can get! Fingers crossed for ya man, I’ve been anxious all morning and I hope it comes!

Edit: Just saw it came in! Congrats man, now let’s seriously see if we can get you an elective out here!

How is it even possible that prestigious schools still go unfilled??

This was expected to happen year. Each season, students are panicking more and more about not matching, and are applying to more and more programs. Highly qualified students are interviewing everywhere and being ranked by programs and they submit 20+ rank list (8 years ago, students used to rank an average of 8-10 programs).

i.e Programs are interviewing over-qualified students that are not going to rank their programs high.
