VCU wants a 4min presentation about yourself ... is it too late to cancel?
it's honestly never too late. Do you have anxiety problems?

ask your doc for propanolol if it'll help, but don't lose out on an opportunity when you worked so hard to get to this point. of course if you're one of those ppl up to their eyeballs in interviews, then I guess it matters less and someone else would be grateful for the trickle

Is 3 derm LoR enough? Why is everyone submitting 4?
Do some programs require 4? If so, which?

I am wondering this too. I have 3 derm letters but no other letters (besides my chair letter for prelim medicine programs). Is that not enough?

Most probably have 3 Derm letters. Maybe an IM/Peds/Surgery letter for a prelim/TY. You're fine.

I was hoping we would hear from VCU today! Last year they sent out invites today. But they also did not match anyone in 2016, so maybe they just freaked out last year lol

Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
Dude, I get that it could be awkward and maybe makes you stressed, but it's definitely not the worst and I would gladly take that trickle. You can do a 4 min presentation about yourself. you got this.
