question about SOAP preparation - psycho14

[ArchivalUser]

I'm so sorry if this is a stupid question, but I didn't really see a question recently that answered this question for this year.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare for the SOAP this year? Do I need to fill out anything or apply for anything before match day in order to get ready for it?

Thanks so much, sorry if this is obnoxious.

hopefully you do not have to use SOAP ....

As long as you are participating in the Match and registered with the NRMP and have applied to at least 1 program, theres nothing more to do. Just check the NRMP R3 system and it will tell you your soap status so just make sure that is correct and says eligible

Thank you guys. Yes I hope I don't have to use SOAP, but with only one interview, the chances are very low for match day and SOAP. Gotta keep praying!

There is nothing you need to do, except register for NRPM

Pray to God that you don't need to SOAP, cause chances for IMGs are close to nil - especially if you require a visa.
