Good luck to all of us for this match

@hitesh,milee hope the PD's consider

By the way did you get reply to your email for postponement.They said they would not postpone.disapprovalBut the date when it will be changed is from aug 14th.saddisapproval


  #207

docdoc9: did they say the date is Aug 14th? Isnt it supposed to be implemented ''over several weeks''..

'cos if it actually is 14th Aug and if anyone taking the test before that will get the results on time, then I guess Milee should consider it..

i believe u have matched this year rite? its really nice of you to stay around to help and ans queries smiling face.



You are welcome. As such, unfortunately I have two of my lightest rotations back to back in the beginning. So I find time to log in here. And that is besides the fact that old habits die hard!

i am an FMG who planning to apply to california. My internship training have deficiencies as per the PTAL requirements. I have 2 wks training in peadiatrics and none for psyche. How can I make up this defiency? Does it have to be done at my medical school only?? Can it be done at any hospital or another medical school in India?

Thanks!

  #210

moto, you're in Peds, right? So which rotation are you at right now? Man, I'm so envious of you! But, I guess my time will come too. Can't wait! smiling face

@ hitesh

http://www.usmle.org/general_information/announce...

The website says

The migration is expected to begin at a small number of test centers on August 14, and will then be phased in at remaining test centers throughout the remainder of August and into September.


  #212

@ HITESH:

THERE ARE ONLY FIVE DATES IN AUGUST in all 5 centres around me, in every center.. and none before 14 august.

also, i am just beginning.. about 200 pages of first read done so far..

even 25 august is a risk

@hitesh

thanx a lot. you are taking step 1 soon i think. Do well nod

@ mukho, motorolo or any senior who passed through match process..

need little guidence from you people.
i scheduled my step 3 in 20-22 sept,2008..i plan to come usa by 15 sept...
i'll get max stay for 6 moths ie. 14 march 2009..my q is that do we have to stay till match day ie. on march 19,2009?

if i come to usa on sept as mentioned above i wont be able to stay till match day..what u suggest shall i reschedule my plan and make some delay in step 3..or shall i come according to my plan ie. sep15, 2008? lets think worse -what if i dont match then shall i able to participate in post match scramble by staying in India or staying in Usa is preferable? how the residency contract sh'd be signed? shall we need to go persoanlly to hospital and how the visa is managed once we match?

waiting for reply....

Hello Bax,
There's no need for you to stay till match day, so don't change ur step 3 date,
Suppose if u prematch then there's absoultely no need!!!

All the best for ur step 3.

i didnt stay till match. many dont. but one of my friends didnt match and had to do the post match scramble. I was with him for the scramble. I feel it is near impossible to get a position thru scramble if you are not in the US. This however should not probably change your Step3 plans as the probability that you dont match is low (especially with step3 done so well in time though i dont know rest of your creds. i might be able to advice better if u post them here.). if u dont match...there is hardly any guarantee that u will get thru the scramble even if u r in the USA. in summary i would say stick to ur plan if ur creds are decent.

mukho would be a good person to advice on this but i m sure she is extremely busy as a PL2 !
