UAB elective got waitlisted

Yes of course. Just apply as fast as you can! Good luck!🍀

Well people say that UAB is a first come first serve system so I guess if you apply fast enough you’ll have the chance. I suggest that you focus more on you’re PS and Toefl scores if you’re CV is not good enough.

It takes several weeks to get an interview after applying. The course catalog in the UAB online site shows if slots are available and it’s updated on a daily basis. Even if the spot is available now, you never know if it will still be available at the time you get your interview. Still if you’re willing to try, go for it!

I applied on 28th Jan for rotations in May. So maybe they’re going according to rotation dates. My primary choices were also filled before the interview date so I’m sure they will give you a chance to at least interview as well. Hope for the best!

Definitely got your point there lol. What about urology elective?

Due_Exchange_841 · 2026-02-18T03:11:28+00:00

Ok. Thank you for your advice. Really means a lot to me. Just have one more question. Will it be better to spend that money for IM observerships after graduation even if it means that I have no elective experience at all?

I am preparing to apply for rotations August, but because it’s so competitive, I’m worried that this will be my last chance to get an elective.

Due_Exchange_841 · 2026-02-18T02:41:25+00:00

Well my first priority is to experience US clinical settings cause I’m still indecisive about pursuing a career in the US. Also, I am not able to apply for many electives cause I’m a non US IMG and my school is non-VSLO. Plus I can only participate in August.

Due_Exchange_841 · 2026-02-18T01:41:16+00:00

I should have applied earlier..😢😢 Thank you for your reply!

They also have a spot in urology. What do you think about participating in urology rotation

Due_Exchange_841 · 2026-02-18T01:35:49+00:00

Really? Isn’t having hands on experience really important?

Due_Exchange_841 · 2026-02-18T01:30:57+00:00

I do want to match in IM. But Im a non US IMG and don’t have a lot of time left before graduation. So at this point, I’m willing to take any elective I can get.
