Arrow Internal Medicine Residency 2007
Why did you choose IM as a specialty to apply to in the 2007 Match?

Maybe you should also add the following answer choices:

"My step scores where not competitive enough for surgery or ER"
and
"I applied to internal medicine as a back plan, just in case..."

Perhaps you would get more participation.

you won't get participation, no matter how good the poll, because most people don't care about posting on valuemd.

now s.d.n is another story.
