IMGs post-Scramble

 I got an absolutely insane amount of emails from IMGs looking for residency positions yesterday. I usually get one or two every couple of days. For some reason everyone who did not match decided to email me looking for PGY2 spots yesterday. As we have no openings, it was very strange! Is there some conventional wisdom out there that says that you should email on a Monday? I personally think it 's the worst day to solicit, because when I roll in on Monday morning, there are a zillion urgent emails clogging up my inbox. At least on Tuesday/ Wednesday, I have time to respond to them.


P.S. For some reason, 90% of the IMGs looking for residency spots use the word "keen" in their emails. Again, very curious!
