when is the last date to take NRMP token without extra charge in this match cycle

[poojareddy]

Thank you so much! This video really helps!! I wanted to know, when we are personalising the SOP, can we mention the name of the program we are applying to? And if yes, do you suggest in the first paragraph or the last paragraph?
Can we also name drop the perceptora or attendings we rotated with in the SOP?

[anitaramani]

How many programs did you apply to? Great content, btw!

[STstars]

Best of luck for Match day Dr. Divya 👍🏼
Amazing video!
Could you please share with us how long do interviews last? And how did you prepare for them?

[mohammadsk]

Thanks for the video! Do you think applying before graduation is an advantage (finished all exams and USCE early before graduation) or disadvantage (late paperwork)?

[deepajain-lk]

Hi wanted to ask which agency did you seek help from for Eras, cv, match etc.? Or do you suggest any?

[inchyokk]

[sylviayuhanna]

I have a question regarding the LORs, did you get them from your original country or all of them from USA?
Thanks in advance

[Huda-hckr]

What if I apply in January still I have a chance to get an interview

[SS-gwcb]

I have few questions, expecting ur response. Can we pursue usmle journey after post graduation here in india? Will PG degree have any impact on our overall CV? Does duration of PG in our home country count as continuous medical education or gap year?
