记得以前看过ericusa回答过类似的问题,现在想再听听大家的建议。分不高,
research background强,IM 和neuro都想申请,那么总共选的这些program怎么分呢?
有人说大学的prelim都是留给自己学校学生advan的, 所以prelim给咱的机会少;但是
community hospital我们是不是更容易进IM。现在不报prelim, 等知道neuro的机会以
后再报是不是太冒险了。
真是不知怎么办,向抓阄一样。

在usmleforum上看到这个,更confused。

"We offer both categorical (3 year) and preliminary (1 year) Training
Programs. I urge graduates of international medical schools who are
interested in our categorical program to also apply to the preliminary
program and to rank both. In the event that an applicant interested in the
categorical program matches with the preliminary program and performs well
during internship, he or she is given special

IMHO, the safest way for you to go is to apply only to all the Categorical
Neurology programs and all the categorical IM programs that you meet the
minimum requirements. It will be too late to apply for Preliminary IM
programs when you get Neuro interviews.

This makes sense.
Since residency selection is processed by human, there are always general
rules and exceptions. Generalization based on a few exceptions can be
misleading.
It's a good idea to check each program's requirements and suggestions. If a
PD believes that it's OK to apply for both categorical and preliminary IM by
the same candidate, go for it. But this is not a general case. Several PDs
told us many programs don't like that. Programs may think the candidate uses
categorical IM as a b

如果向同一个program申请both prelim and categorical IM,如果PS用同一个(IM)
,可以吗?
I just wonder whether by doing so, the IM program will NOT think we use
categorical IM as backup?
但是不知道这样合理吗?
欢迎砸砖!

Same as Emily2009. Can we apply for both prelim and categorical, then
indicate our PGY-2 Specialty interest(s) as IM?

-This does not make any sense, it is much much tougher to get preliminary
year IM interviews compared to categorical IM at the same institution. Your
chances of getting an interview is not going to be increased by applying to
preliminary year.

Thanks, alohaahola, for your comment.
So for prelim IM, we should just try to look for small community hospitals?
I would appreciate any suggestions or opinions!
Thanks!

well not necessarily. you can focus on categorical programs. it all depends
on your whole package.
however I want to point out a bloody truth again which no one wants to hear.
for most CMG, especially IM, the final destination is ' small community
program'.

I'm NOT against community hospitals, as many of us will go there for
residency.
I just want to figure out how to decide which programs for prelim while
others for categorical IM.
Any more opinions or comments, please.
Thanks.

你误解我的意思了。
我是说 community IM categorical 通常来讲,是相对容易申请的。如果你都拿来申请
prelim,那你用什么保底?
别忘了,即使是community IM prelim, 大部分也都是amg. 可是community IM
categorical,基本上是没有amg
