🚨 Stop stressing over Match rumors! 🩺❌

When it comes to residency applications, it’s easy to confuse "highly recommended" with "absolutely required." We sat down to bust the biggest myths floating around the medical community right now.

Here is the quick truth vs. myth breakdown from the video:

❌ MYTH: You must have USCE or US LoRs to legally apply.
❌ MYTH: Step 3 must be done before you can match.
❌ MYTH: Submitting early on Sept 9th gives you a head start over Sept 22nd (programs see all early applications at the exact same time!).
✅ TRUTH: Step 1, Step 2, OET, an ERAS CV, a Personal Statement, and your ECFMG pathways are the absolute core essentials.

Which of these myths did you think was actually true? Let us know in the comments! 👇
