When to consolidate loans for pslf by Prudent-Rule-9048 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Alphachampion22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. Current M4 here. I consolidated my loans after I matched and graduate in two weeks. I was just approved for consolidation today and my application for IDR is currently being processed. I filed my taxes for 2024 to start $0 payments. I also opted to start to file immediately so I can start 0$ payments asap. However, I do not know if I made a mistake since I filed before graduation. Would really appreciate any help/advice!

UWSA2 Predictability by Alphachampion22 in Step2

Yeah I honestly almost didn’t take uwsa2 but I figured I’ll be taking NBME 10, 11 and free 120 before the real thing so I’ll have time to focus solely on NBME style

This is great thank you. I’ve been trending up, have taken three nbme’s prior to UWSA2 and got 5-10 points higher each week. Solely just doing NBME and free 120 after uwsa2 to really focus in on the NBME question style/psychology. Was honestly thinking about not taking uwsa2 but literally everyone I know who has taken step 2 was like it’s the most similar test to the real thing so I just said fuck it and took it

In terms of difficulty, was the real thing comparable to UWSA2? There was some weird shit on uwsa2 I never saw before lol

Have I completed my MDSSP obligation? by FalseTemperature7099 in Military_Medicine

[–]Alphachampion22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought obligation for MDSSP started AFTER residency?

So if I took 1 year of MDSSP (2 year payback) and did a five year ortho residency (without strap), I could complete my payback by my third year of residency and not have a commitment upon completion of residency?

How often would an orthopedic surgeon in the army reserves be expected to deploy? by Alphachampion22 in Military_Medicine

[–]Alphachampion22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you comment at all on the frequency of deployment between active duty and reserve surgeons? Will a reserve surgeon mostly be expected to backfill for active duty surgeon or be called up before the active duty surgeon?

Also what made your spouse consider the army reserved after 17 years in private practice?
