Well I made it this Far

General Med Student Discussion

Started in 2005 and ended up at a Caribbean school in 2006, many many problems along the way.


Graduated in April 2011 but had not cleared CK and CS yet.


I Passed CK in July 2011 and Just found out I passed CS.


I’m now ECFMG certified and hope I still have a chance in the Match although I need advice on SOAP


since I think thats where I will be on March 12th.

Good to hear from you! Glad you have persevered! Can’t offer any advice on SOAP as I have no idea what it is unless you mean a SOAP note which I don’t think you do.


Take care

Congrats!! Like linda, I’m similarly confused as to what SOAP is.

National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP) = the new and improved scramble for ACGME residencies. No more faxes. No more initial phone calls.


There is no SOAP for the AOA Match. The scramble is still the same as before.

Looks like it could be a fair way to conduct the scramble.


Now only


Certified/Verified grads can apply


those with a match cannot apply


No faxing


Apply through ERAS only to the programs (All In policy)


I hope it helps and works this year.
