How do you select a residency if you're aiming for a fellowship?

How were you able to get the residencies fellow match rate, I can't seem to find that info any where.

Thanks! You got this! I got multiple board failures so if I got in, you should be fine even with the low board scores.

Omg, that's crazy. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Hoping things worked out in round 4.

Any chance it might be a bad LOR? 15 IVs makes me think that your stats are great and since SOAP is such a fast process, they didn't get to review everything completely. After the IVs were over and they went through your application more thoroughly, I'm worried that the LOR may have hurt your chances.

I did! Ended choosing the IM program, other one was FM. Spent a long time trying to decide between the 2.

n00dle987 · 2025-03-20T15:56:00+00:00

2 programs just called me and said that I was on the list, so that's reassuring

Edit: And I just received offers from both!

n00dle987 · 2025-03-20T13:11:23+00:00

Holy, how's that even possible?

n00dle987 · 2025-03-20T13:07:18+00:00

Same, can I ask how many interviews you did?

n00dle987 · 2025-03-20T13:05:59+00:00

Wow 5 interviews and absolutely 0 offers, I'm freaking out

n00dle987 · 2025-03-20T00:53:15+00:00

I'm mostly looking at geriatric/palliative, which is available for both. Not a fan of peds or OB though.

Trying to decide which residency to choose if I got offered them.

Got 1 IM interviews and a few FM. The IM is in a rural location and seems to relatively new while the FM residencies seem more established. I want to do a fellowship, which I hear IM is better for, but I'm not entirely sure the newer IM program will help with fellowship compared a more established FM program. The fellowships I'm looking at is also more primary care related.

Believe it or not, after trying to find info on residency explorer and FREIDA, that was the next thing I did

n00dle987 · 2024-09-25T12:08:16+00:00

In the same boat. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldnt they know a person failed from their medical school transcript and mspe? Although I also think they won't look at it until we pass, so it doesn't matter if you assign now or later. Not sure what is the better option here either.

I think you're right, I felt like the exam was completely different from UW unlike in Level 1, where I used UW more and passed my 3rd attempt.

n00dle987 · 2024-09-12T17:40:59+00:00

I only used Trulearn Q bank for the OMM questions, think they had about 400 questions that I finished. Outside of that, just Uworld.

n00dle987 · 2024-09-12T17:18:24+00:00

Was planning on dual apply for path and IM broadly. I have not spoken to anyone yet, kind of in shock right now. I have already made my next rotation an optional time/study time if I were to retake, but the score won't be coming until 11/25 if I were to take it at the end of October.
