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

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

ganesha123 wrote:okay this is what i heard.. cant confirm coz this is my first match... 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..!!!! 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...

Does ANY prog look at EVERY application they receive? I don't think 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....

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.. 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... you are a kind soul and i value ur opinion justice...
