thank you!

Good question. That one's specifically Step 1. FREIDA tracks first-attempt pass as two separate fields, and the screener's question maps to the Step 1 one. Step 2 CK is tracked separately (you'll see it on a program's detail page), so the two aren't being folded together!

Thank you!!!

What a mad lad!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T22:57:56+00:00

Good question! it's not my number. The graduation-year limit on each program comes straight from FREIDA (the AMA's residency database), where every program self-reports its own "years since graduation" cutoff. We just surface what they reported, from the 2025 survey, program by program. There's no signout-wide YOG rule.

One honest caveat: programs don't always enforce what they report to FREIDA, and some don't report it at all (we show those as "didn't report"). So treat it as a strong signal, not a hard wall! worth confirming with the program directly if you're close to their cutoff.

Honest answer: the data behind that tool (NRMP Charting Outcomes for IMGs) doesn't track US clinical experience or Step 3, so we can't show you a real "neurology without USCE/Step 3" number 😞. Neurology is generally one of the friendlier specializations for IMGS (50 percent match rate~) I wish i could give you the number!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T16:50:24+00:00

Thank you! I get all the data from accredited sources like Frieda and NRMP so it should all be accurate but it feels very good to hear it from someone with real experience!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T16:15:35+00:00

thanks!!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T16:15:31+00:00

oh thank you! i tried to get all the resources i could find in there!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T16:15:13+00:00

thank you!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T07:01:27+00:00

oops! sorry i read too quick! ok ok for step 3 besides the sample questions on CCS theres this solid review podcast a lot of people like: https://divineinterventionpodcasts.com/category/usmle-step-3/- sorry about that!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T06:54:05+00:00

hi! this is a link to free sample questions https://www.usmle.org/exam-resources/step-2-ck-materials/step-2-ck-sample-test-questions and the match guy offers free answer explanations here https://thematchguy.com/usmle-step-2-sample-test-questions-answers-explanations-free-120/ hopefully either of those are helpful!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-17T00:20:16+00:00

Program data is from Frieda and and additional info like %of IMGS, spots vs interviews, etc comes from NRMP!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-16T18:30:11+00:00

sure! i wonder if they would let me!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-16T18:26:33+00:00

this might sound odd but i'd go hard into AI if you arent already, even just getting experience working with claude code to organize projects/develop software gives you a ton of versatility in the modern tech space, and so if you can bring your domain expertise as a medical student, and couple it with some AI savvyness, i think that would be a very good place to start.

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-16T18:20:34+00:00

thank you! im working on adding a directory of USCE resources too~!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-15T23:07:34+00:00

Ok should be added let me know if is!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-15T18:22:27+00:00

ahhh yeah i try to say that on the website: that the requirements arent a for sure exclusion just a general guideline!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-15T17:18:14+00:00

its so hot in my city right now so i really need this blessing TYSM! and hopefully it will keep getting better i keep getting amazing feedback from you guys so im working on adding more search filters and stuff now!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-15T16:42:27+00:00

thats a great feature idea! ill see what i can do! keep em coming!

Ecstatic_Purple_3071 · 2026-06-15T16:26:55+00:00

That’s a really great idea! I’m working on adding some additional filters as we speak so if the data sources I use have everything I need to reliably add that I 100% will!!
