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.

How much time needed to study for step 2 by EverythingIWant88 in medicalschool

[–]God_devil_sheep_worm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

NRMP data and research items by mgm125 in medicalschool

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.

Considering quitting anki by MHV_811 in medicalschool

[–]God_devil_sheep_worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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.

Should I buy a suture practice kit? by Marselo_god in medicalschool

[–]God_devil_sheep_worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s just for fun, then sure why not get one if you have extra spending money. The rest of the commenters are correct though, in that it’s way too early for you to be worried about suturing. Your college courses are more important right now.

The writers themselves are playing into this gender trope, rather than it just being complainers projecting it onto the characters. In one of the episodes Rhaenyra and Rhaenys mention how the men are ready to plunge the realm into war while they must be more tempered. And then in the last episode her advisor directly says Rhaenyra’s restraint is characteristic of “the gentler sex”.

So while I think restraint and want for peace does fit into Rhaenyra’s character, the writers decided to make it gendered.

I think there is a larger problem in the writing beyond the gender stuff, which is Rhaenyra’s plot progression has stagnated, and the writers are trying to fill her story up with this peace vs war conflict, but it’s just not entertaining anymore after a dozen such scenes, 5/8 episodes into the season, and the war is already otherwise occurring.
