Hello!
When do you guys suggest canceling / turning down interviews.
I am at 15 for my dream specialty and 3 for my backup probably going to cancel my backup.
But how about for my specialty of choice? I failed two classes M1 so I terrified of not even matching in the first place so I feel so guilty and worried (because what happens if I don’t want to rank some) turning down an interview!!

Had postural issues since the beginning of time. When I bend over it looks bad … but the x-ray says otherwise I don’t think I see much wedging. My right trap / levator’s have hurt for at least 10 years. For the past 3 or so, my left rib 7 has been sticking out from behind my scapula and causing a dull but deep ache whenever I sit in a chair without a back.
I have tried excersize s I’m the past but I feel like I didn’t stick with them long enough. My mom has always had my doctor check out my spine and never found anything, but I only remember her checking for scoliosis not from the side.
Hello!
I am freaking out. I have hardly activities from med school (I struggled my first two years) - only club I was in was SOMA (DO), I have 1 poster, and I joined a number of psychiatric / medicine organizations this year like 5-6.
I initially included them on my CV for my letters of rec, however we just got an email saying if we’re requesting a chair letter (I’m applying IM just incase) to NOT include activities before med school.
I only plan to put my activities that were meaningful. I really really want to match psych!! So I want to put how I volunteer at a camp with children with special needs for 6 years, the 5 posters I did in undergrad, and my public speaking and highest GPA award from undergrad. Maybe tutoring?
I’m just freaking out. I feel like I’m a below average application. I have a 3.4 GPA and failed two classes my first year. I did much better in clinicals and I subjectively I think my reviews are pretty good, but still!
Of course I panicked after seeing just to include medical stuff for our chair letters that we have to do it for ERAS and I feel like some of those really help!
Has any MS4s heard about approval for level 2? I scored above a 450 but a little below a 500. However I did terrible on the step one (didn’t plan to take it anyway).
They aren’t taking the step exam into account right? I mean it wasn’t mandatory anyway.
My test isn’t until around the end of June but I’m anxious.
