I feel for anyone applying in years where it’s more difficult than normal, esp for those who’ve had the dream for eons. Getting in is tough enough as it is.

Unfortunately, there can also be problems getting jobs post residency in some specialties. @WayOutWestMom probably knows more about the specifics with that. From what I’ve heard it has to do with hospitals having cash flow problems due to Covid. There are the uninsured (all the time) and with no or fewer elective procedures coupled with all the extras needed from Covid, it’s not going well financially for many places.
