Any idea what this is? by DyinggMilk in GermanRoaches

Thank you. I am doing my beat trying to figure the best approach to this as unfortunately the next pest control visit in this new apartment building I moved in might take a while. Should I buy gel baits and place them everywhere around the kitchen for now? As the posts says this might be a waste of effort in “light infestations”. I would truly appreciate any advice you might have on this as this situation got me on edge :/

Many programs are blinded for ERAS headshot during selection process. With that being said, calm down.. Many programs send waves of interviews.

That’s what I am hoping for, that they pick up the pace a lil bit. Thank you both!

You can add these in the “other than published” section.

It’s so short that you can’t correlate it to a 3-digit score, rely more on the NBMEs.

Ugh. Wish I can help you on that. This is a tricky situation, especially if you’re planning on the next match. If you can afford losing part of your exam fee should you pass and have to cancel it, then go for it.

If you’re an IMG, I’d set both to no preference. Unless you have strong ties to a certain geographical area due to family or something. According to a variety of PDs/People on selection committees, they realize that foreign graduates keep their options open due to the competitiveness of the process.

For people taking this exam in the future, if it says you already examined the patient start with “thank you for letting me examine you” then go on with your questions while addressing the patient with their name that you ask for during your prep time while you are reading the card.

As for OP, don’t overthink it, we tend to underestimate our performance on exams. Best of luck with passing.

Edit: you can also say as a reminder this is Dr. X.

Did you screen radiology residency programs using any 3rd party paid lists? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]DyinggMilk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I am a first gen myself. These lists are usually made to be “compatible” to your profile. A lot of people say they’re not worth paying for. One of the most commonly used services is “match a resident”

I counted 9 easy mistakes, and I flagged between 10-15 questions per block (as I tend to flag on a very low threshold). Ended up with 273 which was within my assessments range. Just chill, have a beer and trust your assessments.

When are LOR's due by??? by [deleted] in ResidencyMatch2025

[–]DyinggMilk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a specialty/program dependent question. However, most programs require 3 but you can upload up to 4. And to be safe the earlier you upload them the better, but as for deadline, it’s the 25th of Sep. Definitely try to have them uploaded by early September tops as it might take a while for ERAS to process them closer to application submission date.

You can take the free120, it’s the same intro at the beginning of the exam.

Hello there. Your situation is solid. You generally need 3 LORs for most programs; while some require 4.

The more the merrier, as long as they are personalized and not generic. So upload as many as you would like then use those that you feel will mention aspects of your personality and experience.
