February: Submit ROL
March: NRMP Match Day!
Early match specialties have their own match
days in December and January
Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program
(SOAP)
Opportunity to review unfilled programs and
apply for those positions – often extremely
limited choices and very competitive
SOAP is not a good Plan B
Everyone needs a Plan B Keep options open from M1 year Pursue a variety of interests – don’t narrow in
on one specialty too early Application strategy NOT the same as
getting into medical school Academics are primary Leadership is great, but will not substitute for
poor academics Complete MATCH Check-Ups annually
Can tailor amount of info you receive to
individual preference
