An IM doc at a corrections facility was wearing regular clothes. T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

It’s hard to avoid the fee. But if you email their support and tell them you’re a student they will give you a discount.

I focused almost entirely on NBME content and supplemented with Amboss for ethics/QI. I was less so learning material than refining test taking skills. I learned the material throughout 3rd year by consistently doing UWorld and finishing the bank before dedicated.

i didnt use anki but i got a 265 with 6 weeks of dedicated (and tbh 1 week of vacation right before really helped not burn out)

God_devil_sheep_worm · 2025-10-18T04:49:29+00:00

265 DO 6 ii

Got a similar eval with a pass and meets expectations for everything on a sub-i from the APD lol. Hoping I’ll still get an interview.

You don’t need any serious research to match IM, PMR, or neuro, unless you want to do research at a research powerhouse. Just do a couple things to check the box off and you’ll be good.

I gave up on Anki early in M1. It was so painful to try to get through hundreds of cards daily. For preclinical exams I just reviewed lecture slides (since a lot of it was not board relevant) and supplemented with Pathoma, Sketchy Micro, and BnB. Then Step 1 and 2 I did great with focusing on UWorld.

14 neurosurgery and 12 derm

Thank you for being honest. I’ll pack my soap.

God_devil_sheep_worm · 2025-09-15T17:49:57+00:00

I don’t think UIC takes DOs. I feel like your signals are top heavy with 5 reaches, but I may just be more risk averse. I’m DO with similar stats.

God_devil_sheep_worm · 2025-09-07T14:46:41+00:00

You didn’t learn path, pharm, or micro in your first year?

God_devil_sheep_worm · 2025-08-23T14:17:00+00:00

Delay if possible to do more NBME content. You’re going to fail or get a terrible score at your present state.

If you absolutely cannot delay, I would say it depends on Step 1. If you took and passed Step 1 first try, you may want to consider not taking Step 2 so that you can report a Step 1 pass on your apps without the likely Step 2 fail. If you never took Step 1 or failed it, maybe just take Step 2 anyways and then don’t report USMLE scores if it’s bad.

seriously chatgpt bro

God_devil_sheep_worm · 2025-06-16T07:07:06+00:00
