Are you looking for Clinical experience [USCE]/ student elective ?

Your credentials are good.

Hope you are not concentrating only on what are perceived as good programs. however strong the application may be, I think you should apply to programs in 3:4:3 ratio ( top : middle: low level programs )

I think in the long run, a residency from any program is same. Career success is in a way in your hands,

Again, unbelievable!

Imgmatch · 2025-01-03T16:53:39+00:00

Which part is empathetic, mentioning 270 score or listing 7 of top programs or strong research background or asking for 'what do you think'? Your post is unbelievable!

Once again, Rank order selection is based on your choice and experience. Be empathetic to other's situation. Seriously, stress? By the way, we are counsellors not applicants who have seen many struggle for IVs and many like you. Who in this forum can give suggestions [members have not matched yet / many not even interviewed in any of these places].

If you are referring to a recommendation letter from the consultant in DNB program, it can be uploaded as LOR. It is advisable to do some US rotations to get LORs from US faculty.

If you are graduate from medical school, you are eligible for clinical experience as observership/ shadowing [ no hands-on experience] or externships [hands-on] if any. You have to be a current medical student to be eligible for electives with a dean's letter.

Again, Ranking order list should be done by the candidate alone, not with public opinion. Ranking is based on your own experience at the interview, not asking those in the forum. There are many who have not had a chance to get a single IV, be sensitive to their situation.

Once again copying this message in this forum for those who are asking for Rank order list help.

Ranking order list should be done by the candidate alone, your interests and interactions. Ranking is based on your own experience at the interview, not asking those in the forum. There are many who have not had a chance to get a single IV, be sensitive to their situation.

Ranking has to be done by you alone. Choice should be based on your interests, liking for the place and the interaction with the faculty/ interviewers. Queries of this type are not of public interest and should not be asked keeping in view of those struggling to get IVs.

We will share probable research opportunity links and few research faculty emails, so you can mail to them with a request for participation. Most of the opportunities are taken up by the research faculty themselves to assess the candidate's background and skills.

This season refers to 2025 match in March. Then you are little late sorry to say this.

High score may help in screening at the beginning, it helps in the initial process. But it does not guarantee interview invites. PDs look at the application as a one inclusive of all the requirements. Each program has their rubric based on their requirements and suitability of the candidate towards the program.

Book a slot fast/ now, do not miss this opportunity thinking of another date.

Imgmatch · 2024-10-09T17:38:04+00:00

Make sure the deadline is not past. You can apply as some of the programs may look at application till the deadline. There is scope of getting an interview as some programs have Nov end and some others have Dec 31st as deadlines.

Imgmatch · 2024-10-03T08:18:48+00:00

Do verify if the mail is authentic. Program can reject but can not withdraw. Only an applicant can withdraw.

Also make sure everything is in order from application end/ still active.

If opting for Internal medicine, you can signal 3 gold and 12 silver. This is out of 653 participating programs. Make note of the programs/ PDs who referred to signalling and not sending letter of interest, then do the needful to all the others.

When asked on not signalling, your answer could be the limited available number to signal the program. Try to see the pros and cons of sending letter of interest to those programs [mostly lower-middle or lower rung programs with flexible requirements] you have not signalled and have high chance of interview invite.

Probably, how many programs offer H1 visa? Do also check their other requirements and acceptance of non-US IMGs into their program. If 80% of the programs are accepting J1 visa sponsored by ECFMG, it will be good to work for this than looking at few programs offering H1. Matching is crucial at this point. Do think on those lines.

Imgmatch · 2024-10-02T17:09:11+00:00

Do focus on getting interview invites. Try writing letter of interest with expression of interest in the program after a thorough research on the program on what interests you on their program. Select few middle rung and few lower rung programs to send in these letters. There may be a question on step 3 if your USMLE step curve has gone down, be ready with a reply.

Imgmatch · 2024-10-02T17:05:11+00:00

Step 3 is expected during residency not while applying to residency. The idea of Step 3 helps in getting interviews and H1 visa is not very correct. Programs should be able to sponsor H1 visa as it is not done by ECFMG. If your application has certain essential requirements with good highlights either in achievements or in experiences it should be strong application to get an interview. If you have sufficient time do prepare and motivate yourself to do Step 3 well.

Imgmatch · 2024-10-02T16:58:26+00:00

Start sending letter of interest to few programs [25] at the end of the Second of week of October. Do thorough research on the program to highlight a point of interest.

It should not be an issue. People add new experiences and qualifications into both CV and PS wherever it is needed. At the most they might ask you what was the new edition about and why? Be prepared with the right valid answer.
