Hi! How's everybody doing?

I have a rookie question... is it okay to apply to 2 different specialties in the same hospital? I had my heart set on applying to 1 specialty only, however I was advised to apply to another specialty. Should I reconsider applying to another specialty or is it better to put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to the match?

Would appreciate your advice. smiling face

u know wat i find amusing... the importance placed on USCE.
i m still amazed at how graduates finde the time to do USCE.

it makes no sense for ppl like me. i am actively working, and just can t quit due to obligation to taxpayers who in a way have sponsored my med school. i have to repay by serving the ppl out of sheer gratitude.

if only the PDs see the way i see.
raised eyebrow

i hope in my case, scores alone is enugh... sigh

Yes, graduation date is the date you got your medical diploma. I don't think anybody can comment on your chances - having a greencard is a plus. Good luck for your CK score. Look up specific program criteria before applying to programs.

All the best drcully.

Is it worthwile taking time out before that to prepare my list? or could I do that in the week following my exam?

Plz advise! Thanx!
