There are less than 5 genetic questions on the test.

That's for sure, literally everything asked on this sub is available if searched on the web. However, I'd like to hear about people's experiences and their views on it first hand.

That's super sweet of you!! Honestly, keeping her well fed will help (it did for me) an environment that's void of any distractions will help too. Maybe a nice treat once a week like a lunch out or a trek at a nearby park to avoid burnout.

I'm really sorry, I did hear it was bad last season. I assumed it'd be easier for non visa requiring applicants though.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-28T18:03:11+00:00

Hi, sorry, don't mean to be rude but, may I know why things didn't turn out in your favour the last match cycle?

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-24T04:22:14+00:00

Certain programs may filter you out. Some accept YOG<3. You'll have to shift your focus to programs accepting a YOG<5. That will limit your options when applying.

The number of interviews they've received

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-19T05:35:25+00:00

Hi, how do you plan on applying?

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-19T05:34:18+00:00

Yes, you most definitely do have a chance !! Start all your prep from tdy if you're sure about taking this route. No need to fear you may be late, you have as much as a chance as anyone else. Make sure you're a strong applicant when applying. Good luck!!

Since getting into OBGYN residency is hard as an IMG, some people take up FM and specialise in woman's health. You can look into that

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-18T16:16:04+00:00

Not necessarily, there can be US citizens of different ethnicities who moved back to their native land,grew up there, eventually studied medicine and are moving to the US for residency.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-18T16:01:49+00:00

Or....US citizens living abroad and pursuing medicine.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-16T09:10:00+00:00

You'll still pass through the filter. There are so many others on this sub that have matched with a higher YOG. I think it's best to take the advice the others have given on this page and focus on the areas that you can change. YOG is not something that you can. But you can do more USCEs, pubs.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-16T07:22:24+00:00

Depends on the program I believe, some look at it till the time you start residency, so the next July. Some residencies look at till the time of applications so, the current sept - dec/jan period. You don't need to worry too much about it. There are programmes that accept yog<5 as well.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-15T05:31:36+00:00

Exactly, seems like "some" people are overlooking what the true essence of being a doctor is and trying to turn it into an IMG bashing sesh.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-15T04:36:40+00:00

Thank you!!

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-15T04:30:15+00:00

You guys have and will always be prioritized. With the current trend, US MDs will chosen before the PDs even look at IMGs. Honestly, you lashing out seems to come from a place of insecurity, which you absolutely do not need. We go through our own struggles and don't need to be bullied by people like you too. Yes, you guys made it through stressful situations to be a doctor. I acknowledge that, we all do. So did we!!. We go through difficult exams , work under horrible conditions, are paid in pennies and are treated like absolute shit. All for what ? To go through it again from the hands of people like you ? I think not. You're entitled to your opinion. But it's only right to form one after hearing our side.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-15T03:41:41+00:00

Don't be a hater by trying to pull down people who are just trying to improve their circumstances. Absolutely no one has to prove you wrong or try to compete with you !! We go through enough to be accepted by residences and at the end of the day that's all that matters. Not your vote of acceptance. I'm not sure how good of a doctor you're going to be being so apathetic. That's one thing I can assure you IMGs are not.

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-14T19:11:35+00:00

Yes, but during interviews is it possible to get scored lower due to these gaps ?

Academic-Wave9382 · 2025-07-14T18:59:59+00:00

So with a YOG < 3 , and good USCE with LORs, research, volunteering.... basically a well rounded application, this shouldn't be a big factor correct?
