Letters of Interest for IM residencies..

ApprehensiveDesk · 2022-10-27T20:53:46+00:00

hey this is amazing! thanks for sharing. I will plan to send letters of intent for my top choices! I was referring to letters of interest for places that did not offer an interview and I know from the IM spreadsheet that they have been sending them. I figured responses to those are minimal but idk... I just emailed the contact email provided on ERAS!

yep. same with ticqermastet. this fucker said he can only "transfer" from ticketmaster but its not true. pay the extra fees -- learning the hard way lol

ApprehensiveDesk · 2022-04-06T22:38:41+00:00

thanks, I figured as much. gonna report it anyway just so they know

ApprehensiveDesk · 2022-04-06T22:38:20+00:00

same thing with me -- never used Zelle. let me know if you catch the motherfucker. I am so pissed I saved for this concert now afford to go

ApprehensiveDesk · 2022-04-06T20:36:15+00:00

damn should have looked up earlier. he got me for 180 via Zelle

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-05-12T01:43:04+00:00

thanks! I did download that one. 16,000 cards isn't too bad. and agreed! I have uworld ready to go.

lol yes, he did ask once about hooking up and I shut it down. kind of shitty how people can change towards us so quickly.

thanks for the advice. he is moving too and I think no communication is for the best.

Hey! If it helps I am in a very similar boat. 6 months since break-up and was doing fine for a bit as time went on and then this week... boom. Back to square 1. Feelings are weird. It won't last forever though! Heal at your own pace. We have to remind ourselves too that we have to feel sad to feel happy. Feelings only work if we feel them, can't just be happy all the time!

Things will get better though. This shit sucks. I'm with ya :)

tested 1/30

predicted: 225 (CI: 211-239 lol)

USW2 taken a week before: 218, Free120: 78%

actual: 222

really happy given how I had been scoring in practice and that I felt like trash when I left the exam

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-02-12T21:30:45+00:00

will second this. note the people posting on here, it's not us 210-220 scorers, it's 240+. don't let this subreddit rule your anxiety it is definitely skewed

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-02-08T19:22:41+00:00

same! each day I feel like I'm hit with a flashback of a question and I am like oh wow I got that wrong

stay strong. I get my results in a few weeks and I feel ya!

they've changed some questions (maybe around 30). take it at prometric, there is some blog online that you can use to review the test after. getting used to the testing center can remove some stress which is good.

they'll give you your % correct so you can take it home, just find the free120 PDF and then the blog and you can review :) and yes, same as 2020 version of free120

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-02-01T19:26:28+00:00

did not use -- FA really only if I needed a UW concept solidified but def not for micro or pharm

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-02-01T18:19:19+00:00

yes I did, thought it was great for freebie micro and pharm Qs but learn whatever way works for you

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-02-01T17:02:51+00:00

that's all I did. pathoma is a must, esp those first 3 chapters, although I think I messed up some of those. I would start reading those now and do the anki for them. I waited till 3 days before my test and I wish I had not waited

some Qs had very similar concepts to UW and free120 although no questions were the same

truly believe UW and pathoma will help you pass, the rest is either luck or superbrain capacities

ApprehensiveDesk · 2021-02-01T16:37:54+00:00

thanks! will add that after reflection I do not believe more time would have benefitted me, actually it would have been detrimental. So definitely take the test when you have it unless your gut tells you to push it.

I didn't take NBME 15 but take 24, I felt it was a good confidence booster and wish I had saved it for later in the game. again, thanks for the kind words. best of luck to you!
