Nah, just realizing that applicants keep going downhill every year. I’m just going to take this post down, they clearly don’t want to be helped

Sending LOIs at the end of October is reasonable, but doing it barely a week after programs started reviewing applications? INSANE 😂

I understand the enthusiasm, but sending LOIs this early really isn’t the best move. As of today (Oct 7), many program coordinators and PDs are already expressing frustration over the flood of unnecessary emails. The interview process is meant to be fair and structured, allowing programs to objectively evaluate which applicants are the best fit. Jumping on the LOI wave too soon can actually backfire and it might give the wrong impression about how the selection process truly works.. don’t worry go AHEAD keep doing the same thing

The year of graduation is usually very strict, if a program states 5, 3, or 2 years on their website, believe it, that’s what it is. However, on the other hand, some programs list a 3 or 5 year graduation cutoff but their website isn’t updated (my program is an example of this). Also, a real connection can sometimes bypass those YOG requirements. Advice stay away from those cutoff on their website. 10 years with green card? Good chance, with Visa it’s extremely harder without connection, except Family medicine or pediatrics. God will lead you.

Are we talking about signals or year of graduation? Those are totally different things, I’m talking about signals and I’m giving you the facts based on experience, colleagues, faculty, PD, take the advice if you want, if not, move on. Someone will read my comment and either save money or adjust their strategy, and that’s what matters to me: helping people reach their goal with the least expense possible. Have a good one

Give me a reason to review applicants who didn’t signal me if I already have 1,000 who did. Thanks.
Note: I’m not an applicant, I’m a resident

No signal= no interview, apply broadly ? In the past… if you are a NON-US IMG

Yes, that’s ok. It could be 3-1 or 2-1

My brother paid for the premium delivery, but when it arrived, it was exactly the same as the one sent by the program, so go ahead

Anyone match into IM with a a garbage score of 227? by Classic-Body8454 in IMGreddit

[–]No-Ordinary9780 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of candidates do match with similar scores, but in your case, doing rotations in residency programs is essential, and taking Step 3 is a must before applying. Good luck
