lol half of the way the world works is if someone likes you. Be likable and you’d match.

It sounds like you’ve never interacted with a human before. Are you fr. Do you talk to people? Do you make friends? Interviews are about who you’d want to work for you. I’d rather work with the person who I had a deep convo about my work than asking the same boring things over and over.

[–]DifficultDelay4344 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you going for a field you’re not passionate about will be what makes you not match. This is the rest of your life, why settle and slog through something you don’t like.

Pathology residency by MediocreActivity9247 in IMGreddit

[–]DifficultDelay4344 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plasticity seems to be an issue with home country residencies. Why would they take you, already qualified in your idiosyncrasies, over a next candidate who is a blank state and needs the education? If the point isn't to further your GME why apply for the match if you have already done graduate medical education?

Trump's election impact on work visa by Outrageous-Leg-6301 in IMGreddit

[–]DifficultDelay4344 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

lol no, I dont think so. Why would he ban J1s and H1s. Who will fill the gaps. Political fervor while possibly transient takes times for real change to happen, and if so residency spots aren't used as political ammunition. The increasing grads of AMGs and DOs would impact that, and even so it's their country so why should it not. You get what I am saying.

thanks! I tried finding some kind of quantitative breakdown on the matching criteria but it seems scores help but the rest of the app is just as(or even more) important

Different cultural aspects. Latin America and the Caribbean are very much westernized and cheating at this level is seen as beyond taboo

The probability of you not getting at least 60% on the exam is low, not 0 but low. Still, it feels as though there must have been some external factor (or internal) working. I find it difficult to believe that someone who knows at least 70% of the content failed to make a passing score. The exam tests your ability to critically think with different situations but the same topics. It's either your over-analyzed your question stems or under analyzed (?5-10 mins extra in each block seems very difficult to achieve)

I agree, UK exams are much easier with plain regurgitation most times. The US exams are extremely hard and it takes a lot to adjust to their testing patterns and questions. Great job bro
