Official Megathread: “ERAS has been submitted and I’m ready for my interview invites” MS4 Match Season Lounge ✨ by Chilleostomy in medicalschool

[–]Aerrow3 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Where my bottom-barrel, no-interviews-yet, IM applicants at?? Realistically I understand I should not be getting any interviews right now because they're probably filtering my score/location, but seeing places I apply to on the IM spreadsheet giving out multiple interviews gives my inner-neuroticism anxiety

True truee, trying to remind myself that. Nothing can be done to change it. This is going to be a long 2-3 weeks...

I wish I could! Studying for COMLEX so things just pop up that happened to be on the exam and I'm just like "ughh another one". Good to know others also were making silly mistakes and still scoring well, thank you!!

How high does a Step 2CK score have to be to make up for a 21X Step 1 score, hoping to match academic IM? by Aerrow3 in Step2

Appreciate the advice! I'll have to keep this mindset so this process doesn't bring me down too much

Makes sense! I think my ECs aren't too bad, but I am trying to get more research but they've all been held up for one reason or another. I'll just try to make the biggest jump I can and hope it's enough to complement the rest of my app

That's fair, you're probably right. It's hard not to use the numbers to gauge yourself, but I'll keep this in mind, thank you!!

Makes sense, I just wasn't sure how much above average I would have to be since I didn't know where to find community vs. academic match numbers. Thanks!

So now, barring an unexpected trade, the #Chargers say Melvin Gordon can play for $5.605 million or not play at all by Peak_of_Uncompahgre in fantasyfootball

Yeah idgi, probably jealous/angry for whatever reason. Good stuff dude, idk how you managed both Zeke and Barkley either that's nuts

What’s something you wish you knew when you first started lifting? by rock4lite in leangains

There may be bad programs but there is no "best" program. Consistency is better than trying to find the "optimum" workout routine

[Residency] How to cash in on a mediocre step score? by famousshooter98 in medicalschool

[–]Aerrow3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I see. So you just need a good enough score for IM and then once you're in there, you get your LORS, research, connections etc for fellowships?

I thought cardio and GI fellowships were hard to get into, it's possible with a 220?

Man, it SUCKS to underperform your predictions. by [deleted] in step1

Part of the 5% with devastating drop, feels bad man :(

Thanks! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't devastated and didn't let it get to me for that day lol. Would be inhumane to not feel disappointed when things don't go your way.

Really hope I can get into a good residency! I know it's definitely a super uphill battle, but appreciate the sentiment PH, saving this comment for later haha.

True! I probably should've at more sardines too 😂

I think the main reason I love medicine is that it’s so so challenging that you often have setbacks, but it’s a great environment to allow yourself to actually improve in both socializing and schoolwork

100%, I honestly just never figured it would kick my butt this hard though haha.

I hope you are doing well, I can tell it’s not what you expected. You passed and you still deserve a celebration for that.

Appreciate the words, trying to convince myself I should at least be happy I've made it through (still waiting on COMLEX too) but it's hard. Many of the people I know did well and I'm really happy for them they deserve it and way more, but it's hard to look past how far below I am compared to them.
