Sorry to tell you maverick about that, but i would not spend money on this program. It is a very competitive progrma for AMGs.
Ha we are the second place people.

That is a very good question maverick.
I was wandering too about that. I would say openely that they might try to offer you prematch, but i guess it depends of the program. I am not shure if setting a specific date withut giving you choises and being so earlier in whole process means other then that. But I might be wrong. It all depends of what program you recieved your invitation.
What do you think? And if it is a preliminary or categorical.

  #108

surgery and prematch - unlikely...a program doesnt have as many seats as in med or peds plus the competition is very high.

no idea, will ask them later i guess. thanks for the input.

from SDN:

I know nobody asked, but I thought these websites were helpful last year.


1. http://www.facs.org/residencysearch/search/search...

ACS website with questionnaires filled out by the program directors, addressing %AOA/fellowships/vacation time/# cases. It's easy to navigate through, and it lets you know what certain programs focus on. However, this is still pretty subjective, and I wouldn't take it all as stone cold facts. This is probably the only website listed that isn't common knowledge.

2. http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/

This is the most objective resource on the internet, and should probably be a starting ground for most people.

3. Scutwork.com

This can be pretty inaccurate, but SOME of the entries are relevant. Be sure to check the date, and who the writer is, as this effects the tone of the review.....

4. Individual program websites.....these can show you where the current residents are from, what the academic focus is on, if there are any good-looking girls in the program, etc.

Good luck.
