Indiana University SOM

Have you talked to the program coordinator?

yes- all spots for december are full Did you bring up the extenuating circumstances with your couples match? Sometimes they can try and squeeze one in if it's for a really good reason. If not, keeping my fingers crossed you find someone who can switch

i dont know if this is such an extenuating circumstance. they can interview on different days if they both got interviews. that's what me and my fiance did. itll work out don't worry!! :]

yes

< how do you know? Is there a list of SOAP spots?

i saw it on the 2018-2019 spreadsheet around match time

Anyone know what happened with the IU program? I heard it may have been an ERAS submission error since they are otherwise regarded as a good program. Has any derm program ever had to SOAP all spots?

So I still have a chance to match into derm?

meh weird if it was a error cause I heard they matched like 1 of the spots and others were SOAP

ooooh i didnt know they matched 1 << didn't they match someone from Harvard? Was that through SOAP?

yes i think so

wow a Harvard med student didn't match? << I heard a couple of harvard people didnt match derm... << HOW DID THEY LIKE THEM APPLES

wow that's crazy! did they have disciplinary problems?

yeah one of them got DUI

the one that matched IU or unmatched?

IU

lol damn

how was this info even leaked lmao << a resident on one of my aways had just come back from leave.....for a DUI. Their mug shot came up on Google next to their professional headshot.

how long a leave do you have to take for a DUI? Not that I'm planning on getting one lol

LMAO, also its amazing they let him/her come back

wait you're saying the Harvard student that matched at IU got a DUI?

didn't UMASS or UCONN match all IMGs, was that through SOAP or intentional? << I heard from a few reliable sources that UMass intentionally matched 2 IMGs and took 1 resident who was switching from another specialty at UMass. They did not SOAP and from their website it looks like one of the first times ever they didn't take at least 1 of their own students. Not to say non-traditional applicants don't deserve a shot, but there are many fantastic US MD seniors who didn't match last year.

Indiana matched 1 of their 5 spots last year without the SOAP. They have 5 spots every 3rd year (back to 4 this year).

so what's wrong with the program? How come they had to SOAP? <I rotated there - there was one mean attending but everything else seemed good - not sure how I’d explain it being the only program that needed to SOAP and having 80% of its spots go unfilled (before the SOAP)

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.

UTSW wants you to submit answers to 3 questions

in lieu of a PS

UMass

UMass had supplemental questions? Can't find that on their website. Do you mean BU?

<-- No they email the supplemental question out

just got one from UMASS and UCONN

OHSU too

Just got mines today

yep x1

< this is not true

I guess it's better stated for everyone who passed some sort of screen...

< u sure? Which schools screened so far then

never got the indiana supplement

iowa

<-- So not everyone receives supplements for Indiana and Iowa??

Never got UMass Supplemental
