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.

 

[ItsAMarathon]

So looks like only 2 rounds?

No usmle. Below average comlex 1/2

Fairly regionally. 16 programs, all mid-west-ish

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. 😵

Can we stop with the A/S/L posts please?

 

[wysdoc]

Can we stop with the A/S/L posts please?

Yes, this is not the time to ask folks for stats

 

[batmanisreal88]

Can we stop with the A/S/L posts please?

Whats A/S/L ?

Edit: Ah ok! Thank you

 

[Roxas]

Can we stop with the A/S/L posts please?

But the banner ads tell me there are singles in my area and they're dying to meet me.

 

[bankaix808]

Can we stop with the A/S/L posts please?

Ah, those were my younger days... 😉

 

[Shiruzen]

This is very stressful... I already assumed that I would get no calls during SOAP but it's still giving me major anxiety

 

[Benzlk]

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

 

[Dr-mindful]

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

 

[Jennadoc]

Can anyone post if you are a foreign img (requiring visa) and got a call please? Thank you in advance.

 

[Gen3ricDO]

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

Be patient US IMG here zero calls so far. You have all day tomorrow to receive interviews.

 

[Benzlk]

Ok, thanks you guys for clarifying!

 

[theosteoblasts]

Nothing yet 🙁

 

[ItsAMarathon]

Me too, nada

 

[23333]

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.

 

[TinkleStinkle]

What time do programs call until?

 

[bachbachbach]

Got my first call moments ago

 

[colli512]

[theosteoblasts]

AMG that hasn't got any here yet. Feel worse now

 

[NGTY1991]

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

 

[aarchi]

Hi! Has anyone been contacted thru myERAS?

 

[aarchi]

Chief res called, asked about my background, what I am looking for in a residency and if I had any Q's. Took about 10 minutes.
