before PC.
2. 有口音不要紧, but not talk with口头禅。
3. Thank you note by email is enough, email at least to PD, PC, maybe also
other interviews
4. After the interview, no need to call the programs often, maybe 1 or 2
times. It has little to do with ranking, which is usually a group decision.
5. In rare cases, referencee maybe called by the program before the
interview, so inform your LOR writer about the programs and specialties you
applied to.
6. Any boss you worked with will be your future reference, keep a good
relationship with your boss
7. prematch interview: most likely before Thanksgiving. This year all-in or
all-out, hard to say, prematch maybe more aggressive. | T****t

Q and A:
1,Does high score matters? Scores help to get interview, Interview
determines the rank.
2. Can submit without CK score? Yes, ]and email programs about your CK score
when it is available. Programs may screen scores and YOG.
3. How many programs to apply, pathology 80-90, IM, the more the better
4. Dean’s letter. Not much use, unless your medical school provides a very
standard one
5. Can mention OB doctor’s name in the PS? Yes, PS is a compensation of CV.
CMGs usually have complex CV, no need to write up a fancy PS. Write your
major events, such as transition careers, and explain a gap
6. What questions to ask during interview: such as board passing rate? Do
not ask questions that can be found on their website. If it is low, the
program will not like the question. Can ask same questions with different
interviewers, and personalize your questions. For example, do not ask the
chairman about the board passing rate, he will not know. Ask the general
development of the department.
7. Q: If have interviews previous year, will the same programs give
interviews again? A: Pathology may not interview same applicant again, IM
will not care. In addition, It is better to find out why did not do well in
interview.
8. Gap more than 3 months, do not volunteerly mention it, unless being asked
during interview.
9. Can program use clinical experience to sort out applicants? Yes, some may
prefer fresh graduates, some may prefer old Graduates, so we have to apply
more programs.
10. Q: YOG, 10 years strict, is that absolute? A: No, still worth a try.
11.Different programs may use different filters, manfully or by computer. | m*******e
