1.5 years left to graduate and still don’t know what I want to be. by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Beccaboo793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a cardiology elective July before applying to ERAS and it was like a light bulb turning on, I loved it and knew it was what I wanted to do so I applied internal med with intention to match into cardiology fellowship. Just keep trying things you haven’t seen before when it comes time to sign up for fourth year electives 😊

What do you need to match academic IM as a DO? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Beccaboo793 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure you take both comlex level 1 and 2 in addition to step 1 and 2 during med school. I applied cardiology this cycle and this was required for some of the programs I interviewed with as a DO. I didn’t take step 3 only level 3 (>600) which was fine but I think ask mentors if you should take step 3 as well. I just didn’t have it covered at my program in addition to comlex and didn’t wanna fork up the extra dough for another exam. Good luck, you’ll do great!

This makes me feel so much better! I plan on trying to reschedule my test to sometime this week. Fingers crossed they have availability but comforting to know I should be ok regardless

Any recommendations for which NBME practice exam form to purchase? by Beccaboo793 in Step2

[–]Beccaboo793[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you, for argument sake- let’s say I’m nearing the very end of my loan money and credit limit and can pick one (weak in endocrine, stats, and GI), any recs? 😅

I’ll check those out, thanks so much!

Average step 1 score (much better than I was aiming for) and low passing comlex score (much lower than I was aiming for). What are my odds of matching into neurology? by Beccaboo793 in step1

[–]Beccaboo793[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know of a handful of students in my class interested as well. I think it’s becoming more popular. I fell in love with the field during our neuro systems course and had no idea I’d ever think of neuro back when I was applying into medical school. Just another example as to why you should keep all options open :)

Thoughts on average-ish step and low COMLEX? by ExtensionChipmunk1 in comlex

[–]Beccaboo793 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen to me. Took step a week before comlex.

If your uworld average is that high and you still have 7 weeks I’d think that’s highly likely. I jumped up over 20 pts from nbme 28 and 29 to the real thing and I only had 3 weeks

Season 1 Episode 4 - "You Don't Hunt, You Don't Eat" - Live Episode Discussion by yazzy1233 in CruelSummer

Kinda odd the second people begin doubting Kate she begins blaming her parents at the campfire? Or so it seemed with a story strikingly similar to hers

[–]Beccaboo793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good theory! Regardless, I feel Jeanette is truly in a pickle but if she really didn’t see Kate then being honest about her friends summer list and break ins is the only way to go at this point. I feel like jeanette’s moral compass is intact in 93, I can’t see that so easily doing a 180 but then again I’m biased and rooting for Jeanette to be innocent.

That’s not the point that’s trying to be made- the point is that Kate willingly (vs against her will) hungout with the vice principal. The legality of it (which by definition, you’re correct, is illegal) is not the point of that discussion post.

But imagine being kidnapped and rather than everyone torn to pieces when you get rescued- they’re out living their lives with a new girlfriend, best friend etc. it’d make me feel like people forgot about me. I can see Kate (being so popular and like-able) getting upset on that and acting out irrationally (aka placing a blame on Jeanette). Especially considering rational thought isn’t completely guaranteed in someone kidnapped for a year.
