Short and sweet. DO student who applied EM in Sept. Didn't have Rad (IR, DR, Rad onc) until mid/late M4. Really enjoyed DR day to day. Wish I experienced it as an M3 in more detail as I would have applied. Now I am having serious regrets committing to EM and losing the ability to try and match DR.
I am stuck and wondering what I can do and how to even approach this a few weeks away from match.
Do I contact Rad PDs to ask for advice?
Do I not take a guaranteed EM spot at a solid place to SOAP prelim and play my cards again?
Do I rank EM programs with Rad programs higher in hopes of pulling some sort of post-match magic?
A bit lost and confused right now.
I cannot extend med school as my school doesn't offer anything like this for m4s.
Not matching is basically shooting myself in the foot.
What are some solid strategies from the wisdom of this group? Thank you in advance.
