PGY-1 here. And I wish I had somebody to say this to me during the last interview season:
1. First and foremost if you have no interview offers yet, Do not panic. I promise it will be fine.
2. I kept getting offers THROUGH January. It’ll be okay.
3. Step scores help but are most definitely NOT end all be all. They’re useful to send out the first round of interviews and then less important for the second round.
4. Which brings me to number four, just because you see a school listed here, it does NOT mean they’re done offering invitations.
5. This is the hardest thing to do, but this website can be so incredibly tough to read sometimes. So pleas don’t compare yourself to others here. It’s so easy to lie and say “MGH sent me an invitation because I scored a 293 on step 1.” There’s no evidence to support any claims here.
6. With that said, let this site be a tool to guide you and not to control you.
Alright fellas, it’s interview season. Be happy. Get excited. Breathe. Calm down. Be chill. And let your personality shine through. Get along with everybody. Send out positive vibes during the dinners and you’ll get positivity back.
I assure you, it will be okay.
Now make the most of it. You’re fourth years ?.
