The match process is over for me, I went to my first IV and got pre-match offer. I should be happy but for any reason I don't,
 .My cred aren't to good but i have 6 IV already, who knows?? My advice is trust your self, and never give up.

Thank you, i do understand you because I didn't match last year, I'm probably still in shock about how easy was this year after a lot of anxiety since the pass season, but I'm pretty sure will be better with time.
Last year applied without CS score (got my around mid November) finally 4 IV, between December and January, didn't match anyway. Because of frustration and anxiety didn't take step 3, basically the only difference this year I applied with the ECFMG certificate ready, my scores 230s, 240s, CS all pass at once, very old IMG more than 10 years of graduation, but finished 2 specialties back in my home country, strong LoRs from US doctors.(again I used the same Lors from the last season, no differences still the same dates (2017). This year I went to my first IV with anxiety and very nervous as everyone else but fortunately the PD and the associate were very nice. The main point is keeping trying, we passed the USMLE steps and we can't change the scores or the YOG, but we can work on the CV, PS and LoR, make contacts, pray and wait for the best.

Had my first interview today. St. John’s Episcopal. Overall nice, friendly environment. Neighborhood not that nice. Medical questions, all manageable after steps. Prematch program, no cath lab, which is sad. New ED, rest a little older but nothing dramatic. A lot of work not only physicians duties but also paperwork and so on, much hands on.

kcbutterfly228: Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Are the medical questions related to common medical problems and do they ask about the dosage of drugs? Thank you!
