well hello there.

Had a program tell me today that the affiliation agreement with my school will not be completed in time for my rotation in August despite submitting the paperwork in February. They said they could only offer me an observership. Has this happened to anyone else? Is an observership vs. formal rotation that different?

I guess it would depend on what you can/can't do as an observer. Probably would be unable to write notes, orders, etc. That may or may not be important based on what the rotation is like. I would email the coordinator to ask if the schedule would be any different as an observership vs. formal rotation.

< I don't think it is locked, you just can't type in the same box as someone else did to prevent deleting like last year

Do you guys think is a good idea taking Step 2CK after submitting ERAS but before the end of October if my Step 1 is 247? Thanks!

#2469Mar 22

If the rest of your application is strong you can delay step 2. More applications are taking step 2ck now and it gives programs an extra data point, so if you think you can do well on it you probably should just take it.

I think Rutgers NJMS pulled out of match either last year or before, but Rutgers RWJ is still up and running as far as I know. If you are able to confirm then I can change the sheet, thanks!

What is everyone planning to do about the UT Southwestern Supplemental essay instead of personal statement? I think it needs to be done but on their website it says it is from the 2016-2017 application cycle. Thanks so much!

Anyone know which programs have supplementals? And which recquire different personal statements?

#2465Mar 22

I don't think any programs require different personal statements (at least when I applied). Some people changed their personal statements for programs they were really interested in or to clarify any ties to a geographic region that may not have been evident from the rest of their application. UTSW, Mayo, Indiana, and UMass had supplemental questions that were relatively short.

If a program says 3 LORs, but doesn't say anything about more or less than 3, are you guys planning to submit 4 LORs if the 4th adds something to app?

#2463Mar 22

I am just submitting 3 for what it is worth.

Mar 22

If they say 3, then I would submit 3. If they say they want at least 3, then I would submit 4.

Dumb question, but how does match system work for Derm/Prelims? If I apply to Derm, Prelims, and FM (backup), do I have to rank each separately? Or if I match into a Derm, I automatically get put into a Prelim that accepts me. Sorry, but I'm kinda lost with this info and haven't had the chance to talk to my school about it

#2460Mar 22

You have a main list and a supplemental rank list attached to each advanced program you rank.

Mar 22

0

Thanks! Prelim programs don't have to be part of the main list right? I could just have it as part of my supplemental, so if I didn't get a Derm program, I could hopefully get the FM backup and not be matched into a Prelim without Derm?

Mar 22

correct. unless u put a prelim on your main rank list, you will not match it without a derm program.

Ohio State (http://www.osuderm.org/AboutUs/Education/ResidencyApplicantInfo.aspx) - "After reviewing information about our program, please describe in around 100 words what you will bring to our existing program and resources.
