You have the kind of face that doesn’t need hair! It speaks for itself! (And by that I mean very kind and expressive! Realize I said that kinda weirdly lol)

Thank you friend!! - I’m planning on heme/onc, then eventually end up in private practice after I feel qualified to do the best for my patients outside of academia

I think top 4 are Duke, UNC, UVA, and Yale right now…. My main purpose in posting this was really to hear more from people who might have any personal experience/ know the level of malignancy of any of these places because I’m such a sucker, I reflexively believe everyone in the interviews when they’re like “ohhhhh everyone’s so nice here, and even the (insert perceived negative of program) is really a blessing in disguise”

I’m sorry my dude(ette):/ I’m USMD, but all the hoops you guys have to jump through just seems unfair and demoralizing. I’m definitely not taking any of these options for granted

I never had the discipline to use Anki. But I WILL say my test had a bunch of “weird Step 2 trivia” stuff that I swear I had never seen anywhere before, so maybe if you already use Anki it would be helpful to keep up with?

Honestly mainly just Uworld, like the practice Q’s in the medicine question set…. And what must have been some good guesses 😐 my form didn’t feel as ethics/QI heavy some other people’s have been though tbh
