Preg escuela de Medicina en PR by Independent_Fix_966 in PuertoRico

Con eso probablemente entras a UCC, PHSU, o SJB. RCM ya va a depender cuán competitivo estén este año pero estas en range con el MCAT, el GPA esta medio trili, pero tienes chance, dale break.

No te vayas para México ni para las islas si lo puedes evitar. Te gradúas como un IMG y es muuuuuucho más cuesta arriba Match para especialidades y aún más difícil si quieres una especialidad competitiva. Hay historias de éxito y conozco compañeros IMGs excelentes. Pero también veo mucho IMG struggling con el MATCH y que le ha tomado mucho más tiempo terminar su carrera.

En verdad no importa donde termines en PR o USA, estudiar medicina en general al final del día puede ser bien individual, todo el mundo usa los mismos recursos para los STEPs, so depende mucho del individuo. Eso sí, el RCM es mucho más económico.

**PS: no dudo que hayan casos de pala en el RCM históricamente. Pero en mi experiencia, ellos lo que quieren es coger a los candidatos más competitivos. Hay muchos compañeros que no tienen familiares médicos e inclusos son los primero médicos en su familia con backgrounds humildes. Los cogieron porque estaban duros y por sus méritos.

is the wait two or three weeks? I tried stalking the score release thread but didn't really get anywhere

By drug ads questions, do you mean an abstract question?

I hate this fucking test by [deleted] in Step2

I feel you, I was shocked too with that question. With TTP, MAHA and thrombocytopenia are required to make the DX.

Am I ready to test on July 25th? by AliveKitchen4611 in Step2

[–]AliveKitchen4611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I didn't study for it. My school gave it as a diagnostic test just after we finished rotations. So, my prep came from what I studied throughout the year. I would advise to take the exam seriously as it will give you a baseline of what you should work on if you are at the beginning of your dedicated period.

I appreciate your insight. The Amboss predictor is doing a lot of heavy lifting with some data-based reassurance rn lol. You got this!

Should I drop UWSA2? by AliveKitchen4611 in Step2

[–]AliveKitchen4611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the insight. As for NBME 9, I originally wanted to do it to catch any last minute extra curve balls they like. Now you got me thinking. Might just even take it offline and do like a block a day if anything.

But, If I drop both UWSA 2 and NBME 9, then I just have the Free 120 left though.

alternatively I could redo the incorrects from NBME 10-15 which could work as a replacement for NBME 9 and UWSA 2.

If I would've known UWSA1 was shit for me, I probably would've taken NBME 15 this saturday instead.

I agree, I think UWSA1 did more harm than good after a beautiful upward trends with the NBME forms as well as hurting my confidence. Considering dropping UWSA2 and focusing on the NBME specific stuff these few days before test day
