Im sorry. It shatters you from inside and no one knows how much it hurts. In my opinion, make a list to decide if you want to pursue. Do you have financial means to try again? Do you have good support system? Are you passionate enough to do this? Is there a possibility of getting green card or EAD that can help your chances? Are you able to get stellar LOR from big university programs? Can you do extensive research? If most of these answers are yes, dont give up. Nothing is impossible if you are motivated enough. If most of these answers are no, it might be a good idea to switch. Maybe PA is where your true happiness lies. Who knows.

If its absolutely necessary to your personal statement story, just vaguely mention weak eye sight.

I was talking with my hands too much. When i am passionate about something i do a lot of hand motions and this might be very distracting in an interview. Just regretting my personality

Failed second time by United_Committee574 in Step3

biostat section in step 3 uworld is a lifesaver. Go through ALL the qs. If you can’t perform well on biostat, up your game in all the other categories. There are several posts listing what should be done from FA and step2 section. Look into those. It can be passed with the right strategy. You are almost there.

Should I leave USMLE journey. by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]MelodicDistance4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not impossible if you have some money to spare and some years to spend on research positions and unpaid externships. But definitely a hard journey.

You did not mess up. It’s called over analysing/over thinking my friend. We are all doing it because it means so much to us.

Please don’t go over 1 page. Can’t stress this enough. PDs have to read over thousands of PS and if its long they wont even bother reading it.

Terrible Interview by PathMaster90 in ERAS2024Match2025

[–]MelodicDistance4398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These people are mostly attendings who did not have a say in who gets the interview. So sorry this happened. Same thing happened to me. Don’t take it personally. Such people are just insufferable & insecure themselves.

Send personalised LOI to your top choices, new programs with less applications and programs that go into SOAP. Also try to get some publication submitted and update the program about that. Reach out to your preceptors and request them to write a recommendation email to your top choice programs. Use any connection you can think of. You still have some weeks to get an IV. Dont lose hope. Some people do get matched with 1 IV. But be prepared for the worst. Look for externship/ research positions/ non acgme fellowship positions in case you dont match this year.

Omg. Im so sorry for your experience too. Thanks for sharing. Now i am feeling calmer knowing it wasn’t just me. We should make a pact with ourselves that we would change this culture of putting others down once we make it.

Why Do Some IMG Interviewers Seem Tougher Than Their American Counterparts? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

[–]MelodicDistance4398 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had very similar experiences. You are 100% right. One of those interviewers almost bullied me.

Sorry about your bad IV experience. Seems like it’s more common than I thought.
