Hello my fellow SDNers . I had posted this on another thread, but thought that this deserves its own thread because maybe some other people may be in my same position:
Hey guys...wanted to know something: I would like to do a TRI, however I have heard that it is a diff internship to land because some competitive residencies require them before starting PGY2. My comlex 1 score is basically pass and my comlex 2 score was below 600, so nothing impressive here. I don't have research as a med student. I don't think that I will match bc of these stats. My question therefore is: Knowing that I won't match, what should I do? Should I apply for internal medicine (and if so do I have to change my personal statement towards IM?), or is it pointless, since no one will call me for an interview at this point of the game? Is my only option now to SOAP? What should I do now in preparation for not matching so I don't waste a year of my life? Thanks so much guys for your input, I'm kinda desperate here
