For those who matched GI last year, how much of a role did letters of intent and thank-you emails play in where you matched?

Do people ask their mentors to reach out to programs directly, or is there a better or smoother way to go about it?

i felt like I was very prepared. however, i did so many errors on yesterday exam and now i feel like i failed and that Im a failure.

I know this varies, but how many interviews does an applicant typically need in order to have a good chance of matching? I’ve heard of people matching with only four interviews, but I know that may be atypical. Also, at this point in the interview season, how many interviews would be considered a good number to have?

is there is a way to make sure I put everything correct in order to receive an interview? applying GI with no interviews yet ( I know, its early) but I would like to make sure my eras and all of that is working appropriately.

is it too soon to send letters of interest? Applying for GI Fellowship

Are most interviews expected to be virtual or in-person?

Given that last year most of the applicants only got interviews from the programs they signaled, how many programs are people applying this cycle?

does anyone with usmle transcript issues got the problem solved?

Anyone else having issues with their USMLE transcript in ERAS?

I submitted my fellowship application yesterday and authorized my USMLE transcript through FSMB. The authorization appears complete on the FSMB side, but in ERAS the transcript status has been stuck on "Processing Request" since this morning.

Programs started reviewing applications today, so naturally I'm a bit anxious. ERAS shows that the request is processing, but no transcript has been transmitted yet and no scores are available in the transcript request report.

Has anyone experienced this before? How long did it take for the status to change from "Processing Request" to "Received"?

Thanks in advance.

hello, I’m currently 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant and I have literally no symptom other than cramps every now and then. Also, yesterday I had some light pink spotting that I noticed when I wiped myself that is no longer present. I called my clinic and my first scan will be tomorrow. Has anyone had a similar experience ?
