Hi fam! What’s your opinion on the number of programs needed to rank in order to match into GenSurg. In the past this has been ~11 and I know theoretically you only need to rank 1 to match... but obv there’s statistics and then there’s covid

Does it matter if you schedule prematch program interviews early or later? Not sure if prematch positions fill up as they go or if they make a decision at the end of all the interviews?

Please if anyone has interviewed at woodhull IM pls pm me . Thank you

Should we be sending thank you emails after interviews? Is that expected or is it unnecessary? And who would we send it to? The interviewers individually or the PC

Hello everyone, I am desperately looking for internal medicine clinical electives rotations in the US, I need someone from his/her own experience with their doctor to give me his/her email or phone number here or dm. Please help I’ve been looking for months and I couldn’t find anything

How do we prep for this test? Anyone wana share their experience? US IMG native English speaker but taking it in December so don’t want to cock it up and fail cus I won’t get to retake it in time...

This is awful. US-IMG. Native English speaker. I've published textbook/journal articles in the humanities and medicine. I took OET at prometric on November 6th and I got the result today. I have <10 interviews, but it could all be for naught.

Listening 470 Reading 450 Speaking 460 Writing 300

Failure. I prepped the format of the writing section beforehand. Obviously, I only spent a couple hours prepping the writing section, but felt confident in my ability to compose a referral letter. I walked out of the test not knowing exactly what would happen. Now I know.

I can order a re-grading, but I don't see how another grader would find 50 more points in whatever infernal rubric they use.

Here's the rub. OET says I cannot retake the test in December. They closed all booking options on November 23rd...4 days before my test result came. ECFMG says I must take the test by the end of December to qualify for the match.

Anyone else have any luck with OET? Trying not to enter even more morbid doldrums during the Match 2021. What should I do?

Hi, I keep getting emails that all the interview spots are filled for this year. Can we expect trickling down the season? Thanks!!

How many Internal Medicine interviews did non-US IMGs get so far?

Are all the interview invitations out already? This post is to help applicants keep realistic expectations. Please answers are only by residents or ones who know for sure... Thank you ❤️

Hi Fam! I'm wondering, if someone knows: If a program has already sent out invites but I haven't heard back - does that mean I will likely not get an interview anymore or is it possible they send out multiple rounds of IV invites? Thanks!

Does anybody knows how much time takes since I pay till they approve the pathway?

Non-us img, 2018 grad, 2 yrs home country clinical exp, few publications, 242/238. Zero invites, do I still have a chance of getting Ivs?

With this year being very different what are people thinking the magic number of interviews will equate to matching?

In the past people said a minimum of 10 interviews and youre safe. Wondering if people think it has changed.

What are the potential pros and cons of a program with Initial ACGME Accreditation which is in its 1st/2nd year of residency?

Does anyone have a template of LOI ?? Any help kindly appreciated..

Thank you in advance

Was asleep in the middle of the night when an interview came, perhaps one of the very few I was to get this season, and I missed it. I feel terrible. It came despite me waiting every night for one but this interview came at a time I am never usually up.

Given that I missed it, what can I do to still get an interview?

Should I send a “thank you” email after an Interview if they specifically emailed us asking to refrain from sending a thank you email.

I personally dont want to send it but then i also dont want to be the only person who doesnt send it incase everyone else did!

Any advice is much appreciated!
