It is a myth, and you can safely apply at the middle-end of September.

Yeah but what about CAF , it will be submitted for the whole season!! thats y..

I think the same as Ganesha, apply on sep 1 , then you dont even have to choose the automatic update(Incase you are unsure about how your step 3 scores will be) and you can manually release your step 3 score(in USMLE transcript again). Please someone correct me if I am wrong

okay this is what i heard.. cant confirm coz this is my first match... grin

due to the overwhelming amount of applications most programmes recive more than enuff in a matter of few days..... hence most places kinda stop looking at more if they have a good number of exceptional candidated available on day 1 itself..!!! thats possible.. hence some good candidate who sends late might miss out...also its not hard for ur appication to get lost in the sea of appplications they recieve... so technically applying ASAP increaes the chances of ur application being reviewed

now thats not the policy every where.. most programs wait and review applications but what i said above is a very strong possibility.....

How much of this is true.. ??? cant vouch for it....!!!! take each advise with apinch of salt and do what appeals the best to you..!!!! nod

hope it helps..



That's how myths are created... Sorry I don't know your true name, ganesha123, so now, when I re-tell this rumor, I need to say: ... I have heard it from somebody...

Remember that AMGs do not bother themselves to apply on Sep 1, only psychotic IMGs push the button on 12 am of Sep 1... If your story was true, then only IMGs would match...

What it could mean is that only those applications that are on the surface (most recently submitted, not those that came on sep 1) have a chance to be reviewed.

Does ANY prog look at EVERY application they receive?

I don't think so...

Is this really true? If yes, it gives me much hope, coz it looks like I'll only be 'perfectly ready' by mid-Sep or so.

hey justice.. i did not volunteer the information initially... the person kept insisting on knowing the base of the myth and i told him/her... i was very CLEAR on its validity too....

i dont think i was misleading anyone on that.... if u read the post again....

you didnt have to attack me on that....shaking head

Ganesha,
I did not even pretend to attack you or anyone who is concerned about residency application on Sep 1. And I am sorry if it happened to look so. You know that uncertainty can destroy any sound plan. And rumors aren't helpful in this regard.

i guess it comes with the stressful times.. we all r under tremendous pressure... what i wrote came from what people say after each match..people come up with million explanations as to why they think they matched or not..its like urban legend.. sticking out tongue
most of the stuff written on forums is just based on experiences....!!!! we need to read them and make out own decisions....
i will still delete the post since u think its misleading... smiling face you are a kind soul and i value ur opinion justice...
