Those who spread the nonsense that this or that specialty is less competitive actually no nothing about the actual process of matching in the US.
My final conclusion is that for every position from any specialty there are hundreds of candidates and that holds true for preliminary surgery as well.
SOAP is a false hope and the Match is a big Mismatch where scores and connections only matter. One needs to have either of them or both.
Know the reality earlier rather than later and save your future.
I am already in a much secure position and was just trying my luck but those who pin high hopes on this residency gamble without having a back r really without any brains.
The residency programs even do not pick up the calls if you call them and that shows that there is no dearth of applicants for them.
Do not play such a big gamble in life if you lack high score of strong connections.
