I guess it would be a good idea if all of the postmatch seekers get together and start planning for the postmatch. I havent got any interviews (didnt have my step 2 scores). Anywas whatever the reason- not getting an interview or for the more unlucky ones not getting matched after interviews- i think postmatch is one scramble u would never regret getting trapped into. It is to me the shortest way (and possibly requiring the most fortune) and if done with all the preparations ... who knows maybe !!!
But to get started I need advice from as many ppl who have had the scramble experience. so plz advice.

For now i guess we gave time till mid-march. The first thing I know that we are supposed to do is have a fax machine and two phone lines ready till then 
Docs that we would need to fax are personal statement, 3lors, profile and application form eras format or maybe a regular CV, and yes our unofficial USMLE transcript.
Its an easy deal applying to programs we have already sent the application vis eras, for the rest unfilled programs its goin to be a bit crazy and tight.

I think this tme around would be a last desparate try to contact PDs to check if interview cancellations might help you get an interview. This is very rare but its definitely worth tryin. good luck.

Sure.. I am doing my MPH at UCLA + some Aids research
scores step 1- 95, step 2 86, waiting for csa results.
No publications in sight.
Got no interviews as was late in getting the step 2 scores and the CSA.
well USMLE u stand a pretty good chance for an HI, trust me. with a publication u good an edge over all the average scorers.
but for the rest of us.. hope is the best friend for now.
