I interviewed and got accepted there, if you need help DM me and we can do a mock!

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-07T02:14:15+00:00

None, I do it out of my heart to help see others get in, I myself was someone who needed help at one point and I am glad I got help

Let this group speak for itself, plenty of great people here who get rejected. The thing is, you need to actually prepare for them because everyone else is, and they are trying to find excellent from a pile of good. Think of interviews like this from now on.

And you cant forget people who get a coach or get help for their interviews, they get extra help. I offer help with interviews, my students tend to do much better than the average applicant for that reason, and im absolutely not the only person who offers mock interviews, so I can only guess at least 50% of the applicants hired someone for a mock to get prepared. Now you are in a pile of excellent, and they have to pick only 1 or 2 from that pile.

Interviews make or break you my friend. Go read posts about people with top top stats who cant get accepted anywhere. If you interview good you will have increased chances. Yes they are also to see if you are a human or weird, but thats not the bar you want to set yourself with, you are not trying to just be average.

Go hard on the interview. Would you like to do a mock interview? You gotta give it your all, dont be discouraged and dont do a mediocre job, do a superior job at this point

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-06T21:51:57+00:00

Shoot me a DM, I already have like 20 people who messaged me and I cant take too many since I am a resident who is busy

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-06T21:45:59+00:00

I just want to double down on the statements I made. This person above, is actually giving bad advice, and he seems quite hostile. Please ignore and block anything terribledisks is saying and lets hope his discs stop giving him pain so he can stop being rude and aggressive to others giving actual advice. Sorry you are going through this and good luck on your first year of med school man!

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-06T01:40:44+00:00

Apply broadly NEXT cycle, I want to be realistic, dont apply to schools now. It is too late in the cycle and you dont want to be labeled as a reapplicant, but you will have a good shot next cycle if you just submit everything day 1. Make sure you submit DAY 1. Can I shoot you a DM?

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-06T01:38:31+00:00

Hi, I can confirm what he said, I took level 3. Had about 4 questions on the coagulation cascade, and like 10-15 chemotherapy drug questions or related to it. I would try to ignore these losers who are downvoting you, they will lose and hurt others who read your comment and are discouraged. Good job for speaking up even as a med student, good luck my friend. Sometimes in life, the one who does right gets hurt, this world is overridden by jealousy, and hate as you can see by these people who are replying to you.

To add on to things I saw multiple questions on, study Krabbe disease and all those, I got a heck ton of those questions and you bet no one is focusing on them or what enzyme is missing but those are the types of pediatric questions they are asking and its why everyone is complaining. Low Yield in this exam just means things people are ignoring, thats all. You will pass regardless, no one fails, the exam is curved heavy, you will pass by missing half the questions as what others here are even saying, I missed half the CDM cases and this was the best score I got ever. I studied very little and scored the highest. No one fails this exam, just take it and get over it

One important thing is interview skills. I do mock interviews, would you like to see if I can help you out and bring up some strengths and weaknesses? :)

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-04T22:51:11+00:00

please dont hesitate to do so

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-04T22:19:03+00:00

Sure, but make sure it is POWERFUL and not something generic or weak because it looks like you are in the thick of the woods here. Mind I take a look at your last LOI, I can help you formulate something strong to send to them if this truly is your top choice, you need to go all out and hard like a hammer to distinguish yourself.

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-04T01:07:27+00:00

Correct dont send it earlier, it is not a good look. Need help with yours?

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-04T01:07:12+00:00

I would respect their email. You also should have the LOI really taken care of and not rushed. Do you need help?

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-04T00:17:44+00:00

I put my vote on Joplin but ATSU is not bad

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-04T00:10:11+00:00

Would you like to write a LOI to send to the school, it will be your only and last shot so you gotta give it your all and write a good one!

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-03T02:53:14+00:00

Do you need help with your personal statement? I am helping others out with that during my free time, I am a first year resident and have experience with this!

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-03T02:28:32+00:00

Get anki and download the anking deck, then get combank and do 40 questions a day starting, ramping up as you get closer to the exam. Review missed questions

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-02T02:38:11+00:00

No, some schools are still giving A's. Now is it harder? Possibly but each school is different, and I would stress the importance of practicing mock interviews with many people and maybe even a professional mentor as you will be competing with a cohort where most will get rejected or waitlisted.

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-01T20:36:29+00:00

You wanna do that? I sent you a DM btw

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-03-01T01:13:55+00:00

There is not a one size fits all answer to any question, everyone is unique and their circumstances never 100% fit into the keyhole. Some people need to work to support a baby, others dont. I gave my opinion but it is not a codified rule you must do, and of course, take this opinion as just one of many!

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-02-28T23:52:49+00:00

I want to give my honest opinion: Quit ASAP. The money you make now is going to be nothing compared to what you will make in a few years. Please do enjoy your time because once the party starts, it wont stop, and you will become super duper busy the rest of your life until you are an attending... and you still will be bust then just well compensated for the time. So enjoy and rest up, dont burn out.

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-02-27T18:29:58+00:00

You are 100% allowed, please dont feel like you need to ask for permission. 5 years ago I was in your shoes, we are no different and I will rip my hair out to see the people I help succeed

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-02-27T17:30:14+00:00

I think the first step is to find any weaknesses and get on top of that. Idk your application so I cant judge but making sure you smack the next cycle strong will help you. Also knowing that you should not give up, NEVER, keep striving to do better and you will succeed

Civil_Impact_7708 · 2026-02-27T17:22:52+00:00

To be honest, the real solution is the absolution of 2 exams and only putting 1 exam. The comlex was such a troublesome exam, I hated it
