**pathology** - zstephden
#81
hi harddays!

from what i've heard, path is more competitive now than the previous years.. the fact that there are less path progs as compared to IM or FM makes it more competitive accdg to them.. knowing a faculty, member just like in any other field, would definitely help bigtime! Smile

Orphanannie,
its obvious from ur nickname and the "variegated" terms ur using that your so much into pathology Smile well that is what they want over here, someone that is for pathology because he/she has passion to it, not someone that got sick of surgery or internal medicine to get a more "relaxing" specialty, but frankly pathology is way more demanding than what people think, it is not the place to seek rest or easy going lifestyle! at least in the first 6-7 years!

And I am sure that you will get matched because your obviously determined, no one finishes all the steps in such a short time unless seeking after a dream, and I hope and I have a strong feeling the directors will see what you are seeking and will choose you as a resident Smile best of luck, ain't nothing more rewarding in life than seeking after your dreams, we all worked hard in a way or another, hope they appreciate that Smile

concerning the Q of harddays, pathology is definitely more competitive, they usually dont accept IMG's unless they have pathology experience, or with PhD! and concerning connections of course it helps, but it only helps in maybe getting you an interview but that does NOT guarantee that you would be favored in match, you got to work hard on your USMLE scores and empower your CV
