So happy for you!
Will the programs send out interviews to the candidates they interviewed on previous seasons?

Hello congratulations man... I have one question and hope you take it in a good way, as for research how did you find your spot? I mean I've been searching for positions around the web and didn't find anything but paid things or students only positions and I've already graduated from Medical School.
Can you share your experience with that? I mean any webpage or just google to find places? did you got it through contacts? did you just go to a place and ask a position (joking)... It would be great if you could give an approach for that matter as many people mentions research but for me at least I has been difficult to find a place. Best regards

drhh: Didn't do any internships. Only observerships and few months of research
successfulmatch2016: They MIGHT. I have seen people getting repeat interviews from places they interviewed previous year. You can prepare a separate PS specific to the program you want to re-interview at stating why you would want to interview there again, and what changes you made in your application in one year n1ckname: I was in my Masters program when I did research. Its easier when you are a student. Ofcrse, not to say that you can't get it other way. Most well-know method is to send out mass emails to faculty of your interested speciality. Another way is to go through contacts and start voluntary work and then ask for a pay (If they think you are worth it). https://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter.cfm Try this website to see who is having an NIH grant and can pay you for research assistant job. You can also go and visit any faculty and ask to help you out, but please be sincere and carry your best CV, since its a make or break situation, if you fail to impress, you might hurt your chances Thank you everone for your best wishes.

congrats usmlepath
do you think having step 3 completed helped? just curious did you have it on application during your 2nd match? this years match? thanks

lolojones1: Yes! Having Step3 score ready in your application definitely helps. I had Step3 score ready before September 15th 2014 (For second and this year's match)
