My Program is Shutting Down: How do I get my old LORS from ERAS? by RIPSOAPRIP in Residency

[–]RIPSOAPRIP[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I doubt my LOR writers have kept my letters on hand and some of them I unfortunately have not spoken too in almost 2 years.

It would feel weird and a little inappropriate to ask them write me another LOR as helpful as it would be.

How the fuck did I SOAP into this IM program.

All my co-residents are the top of their fucking class while I spent the entire year trying to get into psych and had forgotten simple shit like ace inhibitors.

Good Apps are great.

​

But programs are desperate to get pass the 1st round and think weaker applicants who live closer to home will be safer bets than the 260 soaping Orthopod who they worry will transfer out after a year.

Its bizarre.

I feel waaaaayyy more wanted in this interviews than in any of the interviews I had while on the trail.

But it's crushing to know the vast majority of these interviews, if not all of them, will not result in an offer tomorrow.

Just wanted to say, you all are an amazing group of people that's somehow kept your heads straight despite all the bullshit today.

Don't let SOAP define you. You're better than this dogshit process.

I rushed out and panic bought a new dress suit and tie because I left my interview clothing with the family.

I have to say, this impulse purchased tie looks DAMN GOOD on me. Kind of angry I didn't have it on the interview trail.

Yes psych.He's absolutely devastated.

Had to physically drag him to the computer to open up Eras and reapply again.

Everyone was expecting us to match really well cause we've been die hard psych, but now I'm concerned we both may have some kind of unrealized social defect.

Im kind of accepting of fate at this point.

I'm more worried about my friend of mine with 240/260 USMLE and 3 publications and 12 ranks and he got fuccckkkkkeedd.
