Scramble Tips

Scramble needs lot of patience and time. Last year I participated in it. I will share my experience. Most of the phone lines were coming busy and the spots were filling up by the same afternoon I will say by evening lot of them had filled up their spots. There were numerous vacancies in Prelim Surgery and on contacting them the coordinators told me they were for designated spots i.e. for people with confirmed PGY2 in specialised streams requiring PGY1 Prelim surgery. So it was a wasted effort contacting them. I noticed one more thing- programs were prefering people with no visa issues. FP programs were requiring USCE and lot of vacancies were present. Fax machines were busy and email was the only method that was atleast sending confirmation SENT!

ERAS has a limit of 30 free applications.

So guys get ready and buy fax machines, scan your documents, get access to national calling phones and dont forget to pray.

All the best. Feel free to throw in any questions.
