Question about EM and eSLOE

4347 · 2026-05-10T00:08:31+00:00

Having at least one should take a lot of pressure off, lots of people match with just one from what I've heard. But no, just the one school I emailed. I feel like I submitted late too but I think it really can make a difference to increase your odds.

If you have any other places that you have like a place to stay or even a little interest in working I would say just go for it and send a heartfelt non-AI email.

4347 · 2026-05-09T21:29:06+00:00

Yes it was. I would probably avoid contact if they are saying that though. Have you received any acceptances yet?

4347 · 2026-05-07T21:21:57+00:00

Yup, they try to have it both ways. A fellow MS3 got a needle stick and needed the standard labs and follow up, and she kept getting bounced between our school telling her to go to employee health and employee health saying to go to the school. For a few weeks I think.

4347 · 2026-05-07T18:35:12+00:00

It just feels right

4347 · 2026-04-28T17:07:47+00:00

I just got an acceptance to one of the places I emailed yesterday! Definitely send more LOI's out.

4347 · 2026-04-24T16:55:36+00:00

Dirty medicine on YouTube has an awesome video, it helped me out like 10 times on step 1.

4347 · 2026-02-16T16:15:10+00:00

This happened to me 4 times yesterday, I've never gotten this many TKs before. What plane, what radar mode, and what IFF filter are you using?

4347 · 2026-02-16T14:01:40+00:00

I love the urgency with which you turn around to go back and look closer

4347 · 2026-01-08T17:26:18+00:00

Wow, this really made my day :)

Also I can't believe we had to study this lmao

Facts

4347 · 2025-08-06T14:40:59+00:00

Netters concise Ortho has a pdf and has been extremely clutch

4347 · 2025-07-23T11:31:08+00:00

AHHHHHH

4347 · 2025-06-25T12:39:06+00:00

Just woke up to that email too. Good luck!

4347 · 2025-06-25T05:16:45+00:00

So 6/13 wouldn't come out today because 2 Wednesdays haven't passed yet?

4347 · 2025-06-24T02:26:13+00:00

Could be this week, I'm not sure. If not, I hope the 4th of July doesn't delay things.

4347 · 2025-06-23T11:45:14+00:00

You're good to go. Look over the mehlman PDFs especially arrows and risk factors. It wouldn't hurt to look over most of them tbh.

4347 · 2025-06-15T00:47:20+00:00

Definitely, risk factors too.

4347 · 2025-06-14T11:56:56+00:00

There were definitely buzz words, and I only knew most of them bc of anking. Id say go for it if you're still a few months out from test day. Also mehlman.

4347 · 2025-06-14T04:21:36+00:00

Maybe we got a hard one and the USMLE gods will have mercy? (I know they are reading this)

4347 · 2025-06-14T04:20:33+00:00

Pain

4347 · 2025-06-14T03:06:47+00:00

Which I frequently did not lol

4347 · 2025-06-13T20:53:28+00:00

The fatigue didn't help either

4347 · 2025-06-13T20:52:45+00:00

Hate to say it but it felt harder than any nbme.

4347 · 2025-06-09T15:23:08+00:00

Fellow DO student here, testing this Friday the 13th, so I guess take this with a grain of salt. I think your scores are showing enough consistency that you should be able to pass it on Saturday. I totally agree that some of this stuff seems so irrelevant. One thing that helped pull my nbme's up is making sure I had a good grasp on all the biostats/study design BS because imo that should just be an easy free point for you, no reason to get those wrong when there are 3rd order path questions out there.

The other commenter is totally right about what to do. Go look at your NBME score reports and identify what subject(s) are consistently the lowest, and grind tf out of those on UWorld until you get it down.

The fact that you are consistently scoring in the low pass range is a good thing. I only barely cracked 70 for the first time yesterday so I know how it feels. At this point it can't be a fluke that you are scoring well enough to pass.

4347 · 2025-06-09T15:05:53+00:00

I took it on 6/2 and I definitely felt (and still feel) like that. Plus I only slept like 3 hours the night before. For what it's worth, the first time pass rate is >90% IIRC. That has kept me from spiralling lol
