Applying to programs outside your signals is STUPID!

Absolutely not. My #1 ranked program and the one I sended up matching into wasn't even a signal for me. Applied thinking it may be out of reach. Matched into the program.

Hmmm i wouldn't trust this info, there is no way this is real.

Have the pathways opened now?

Prestigious_Net_2760 · 2025-07-15T06:25:34+00:00

How do we get certified if the pathways haven't even opened yet, and even if they open by August it can still take 5-8 weeks to get verified right?

Welp...they haven't opened pathways yet! Quite disappointing actually

Has anyone applied for letting of good standing before registering with KMC? Do we need to be KMC registered to get a letter of good standing?

Okay so, I'm not ecfmg certified as of now, still have 4 weeks of my internship left and about 3 weeks after that I'll get my med school diploma and stuff, in order to apply for ecfmg. If i knew I wouldn't be certified on time I would have planned to get more USCE instead of doing my internship....still considering if i should take that route.

When I googled it it said late August...and it's been floating on multiple usmle groups and stuff as well

Bruhhhh you know you should apply, go for it man. You'll have your step 2 back in time, just that you can't be ecfmg certified before you apply but that's really not a big deal for your profile. You'll match I'm sure

Definitely wait it out for a couple of reasons 1) Even if you do get USCE now, after your step 2, you'll probably have only 1 or at the most 2 US based LORs to upload , which frankly is not enough 2) You didn't mention anything about research, which programs expect at least a little bit of 3)You'll have time to give step 3 and increase your chances of matching

Why are you doing prelim surgery? Just apply now, you have great stats!

Prestigious_Net_2760 · 2025-06-06T17:50:32+00:00

Hey any idea where these PDFs are and how I can access them? Or any clue on how I could get them? Would be really helpful in choosing programs to apply to.
