Just got off the phone with another FM, first call was with a 3rd year resident but he say the coordinator and PD are also going to call me today.

Do you mind revealing your stats and if you took the USMLE?

Thank you! Sounds like its going well. Did you apply broadly for FM or in your region?

Hopefully we all get some call action soon.

Edit: Just got an email regarding new SOAP schedule: Programs will contact people tomorrow as well.

None yet. No idea how late PDs are willing to make calls until they go for tomorrow.

I have gotten 2 spam calls and a doctors appointment confirmation(from a hospital number) and might have had mini heart attacks on all occasions. o_O

10 pm ET? What time zone are you in?
 
This is very stressful... I already assumed that I would get no calls during SOAP but it's still giving me major anxiety

Can preceptors who wrote LORs for a candidate contact the program to vouch for the candidate or will it be violating the nrmp policy?

I believe it’s a violation until they contact you first. Once you get interview you can unleash all your army to them.

Violation. You can’t have anyone on your behalf initiate contact

Nothing yet for me. I had a step 2 cs failure with no new scores yet... my advisor said thats likely what derailed me in the match, and drops me to "less than a coin-flip" for SOAP.

Apps literally opened maybe 3-4 hours ago, combine that with frustrated PDs and I think people have called it a day by 5
