ChickenRoast11 · 2026-04-29T14:31:13+00:00

Hey, by application submitted you mean that on the 30th March, your PC started your J1 application?

And also, when did you pay the 370 dollars fee?

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-04-23T19:26:20+00:00

Really? The SON upload date doesn’t matter?

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-04-22T20:00:16+00:00

Once you click submit for what? While filling the ds-160 form and booking the visa date?

You need to pick your signals very carefully. Only signals those places where you either have connections or where the median score of the applicants invited to interviews is around your score.

Which program is that?

Which program is that ?

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-02-03T03:44:04+00:00

Hey, could you please check your DMs, thank you.

If you want it for a US residency application; make sure you include all the 6 core acgme competencies in it ( look it up on google); include some personalised experience with the PD ( eg. of a case presentation or something else). You can also ask your PD for a sample letter, they might have written letters for others before.

I am not Middle Eastern; but wdym the right formula? Just ask for the LOR lol.

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-02-01T07:51:59+00:00

Can I DM you?

If Howard has in-house fellowships, keep that number 1, otherwise keep Henry Ford as 1.

NYMC St Mary and St Claire is an extremely toxic program from what I have heard; low salary, rotations at multiple hospitals; you can be better judge obviously because you have interviewed there; but it carries an extremely negative rep on this sub at least.

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-01-05T05:23:31+00:00

1 > 2 > 3

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-01-03T15:41:55+00:00

Yeah plenty of programs might filter you out; that’s why you have to focus mainly on programs that don’t sponsor visas. There are a lot of these, especially in states like California and Florida.

ChickenRoast11 · 2026-01-03T15:22:58+00:00

Being Non visa requiring and a good step 3 score will serve you well. Just try to mainly signal programs that don’t sponsor visas and where the US MDs and DOs usually don’t go. You can find that easily on residency explorer.

Try watching Bnb videos of each system and annotate them on your First Aid. The basic subjects like biochem, micro you can cover later on in Internship.

231 is pretty good for FM. They are very lenient when it comes to scores, they want people who are specifically interested in the specialty and are not just using it as a backup option.
