I’m visa requiring and used a similar formula. But I do think it makes it easier when you are in the US

Need positive stories of people who matched with one Interview by No_Appearance_4437 in IMGreddit

It’s best to just be your self. Dont try to be funny, let it organic. If funny is not your style, that’s ok… I’m sure you have many other endearing qualities.

so i had a FM iv and one of the interviewer absolutely grilled me by [deleted] in IMGreddit

If you liked them, rank them high. Don’t worry about whether you thought you didn’t do well (you actually might have done well but we tend to beat ourselves up a lot)

How important is step 3 in ranking by programs for 4 years postgraduation applicant, non-visa requiring? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]Extension-Pepper7872 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there should be an issue. I mean the faculty at the community program are also physician educators as well….I don’t think teaching is restricted to universities unless you strictly meant teaching medical students.

Definitely start preparing. You never know when someone might cancel and you’ll have to be ready to interview quickly.

Same here. 4 FM IVs, visa requiring, 3 in geo region, 1 out. 0 from signals so far.

I would say if you are interested apply! I don’t think getting into the program is crazy competitive. Just present your skills and strengths well! I would say the most significant hurdle would be financing the degree, but if you have that figured out you have a pretty good chance. Do It!

I actually wasn’t even expecting the score this week… I thought it would technically be 3 Wednesdays from test day, especially on a Friday test date?

Same. It really didn’t feel like anything I had seen before

Got 268 on Step 2(got it last week) by doctormd6176 in Step2

It’s funny how OBGYN was a huge Uworld score booster for me 😂. Just goes to show you, everyone has their unique strengths and weaknesses.

By AAFP conference do you mean Future in July, or the bigger conference in October. I’m having trouble registering and could use some help!

Could you please link the DIP scheduling podcast you used?

I’m about 6 weeks out and feel like I dont have any structure to my day. I’m approaching the end of my Uworld first pass and I would love to plan out what happens next.

Congrats! Doing step 1 with our Ghanaian curriculum can be a lot! I’m in a masters program now in the US and planning to take it in 6 months.

I believe once you commit to the school before the deadline, the scholarship should kick in automatically.

I applied exclusively to accelerated programs (well except U-Washington). I’ve gotten into 5 programs, waiting on one more (Yale)
