Your Path Through the SOAP Process

SOAP serves as an important pathway for applicants who do not match during the main NRMP cycle. Given the fast-paced nature of the process, informed decision-making is essential. Our structured support helps you evaluate opportunities, respond strategically, and optimize your chances of securing a residency position.

Strengthening Your SOAP Strategy for Success

SOAP is time-sensitive and emotionally intense. Most IMGs who don’t match spend the first critical hours in shock rather than in action. Having an advisor who knows which programmes have unfilled spots, can rapidly reassess your profile and can coach you for last-minute interviews – that is the difference between matching in SOAP and missing another cycle.

As soon as results come in, we reassess your profile against available SOAP positions – immediately, not after the fact.

We identify unfilled programmes that match your profile, specialty and score range – rapidly and without the panic of going in blind.

SOAP-specific adjustments to your documents to align with the programmes you’re targeting in the scramble window.

SOAP interviews happen within hours. We prepare you for the specific questions, format and tone of last-minute residency interviews.

Support through every SOAP round – which offers to accept, which to hold, how to evaluate fit and make the call under pressure.

SOAP Support is included at no additional charge for students who completed the Residency Application Support module.
