Match 2019! - goinghigher2
#1
My fellow colleagues, as we all know this is November. Many of us are still waiting for IVs, let us stay encouraged. There are still rooms at the top. I am an old IMG with an attempt but I am still hopeful through this difficult time. Let's be cautious how we send emails to programs. Don't be too desperate to spoil the strong applications you have submitted. Stay positive!!! Stay hopeful!!! Stay strong!!!!

My credentials are 235, 241, CS passed, 214. Need a visa. My IV is in IM. Sure, let's be positive because negative will not help us achieve our goal.

Quick question please, to anyone. Is it possible to change iv date directly on ERAS without contacting the program?

@ goinghigher2

Yes you can change iv date directly in eras without contacting program. Make you sure you do that well in advance though.
Also, your credentials are solid. Can't believe you have just 1 iv so far. If i may ask when is your YOG, how many programs did you apply to?

@goinghigher2 I have 2 attempts on step 1, passed it with low score at the end (200). I passed step 2 and step 3 on first attempt. YOG 2012, have worked in primary care, pediatrics and urgent care for the past 5 years as a medical assistant/ medical scribe. This is my first time applying, and I did 2 FM/IM rotations. Got 4 strong LOR (one from chairman) but still have no interviews. I happy you got interviews and definitely you can match with one! Good luck to you, personally I have given up for this year. Debating if I should apply next year or just call it a life...
