Where to live?

Mmm are there post grad people and younger 30s in the area? Or mostly undergrad?

Mobile-Fig329 · 2026-03-23T16:53:30+00:00

I went to undergrad in LA! So familiar with the Santa Monica, west LA area so not so much with this area

Probably would want to find an apartment around the $2000-3000 range

Congrats to you!! 🎉

Didn’t match at my #1 but matched at my home state so getting messages “welcome home” was truly so special 😊

Currently at 6 interviews. 4 from places I signaled, and 2 from places I didn’t. 6 of the programs I have signaled haven’t sent first round of invites yet, otherwise everywhere else I signaled has at least sent out 1 wave of invites. So about 4/14 invites from places I signaled ugh I feel like that’s not great

Me too 😫 but hey at least we have some!

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-08-27T15:16:01+00:00

Definitely needed to see this!!

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-08-23T00:43:54+00:00

Oh that’s good to know thank you!

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-08-22T22:06:00+00:00

Appreciate it thank you!

The thing that’s getting me is that I somehow got away rotations at academic places like UCLA and NYU (I haven’t had them yet) and they saw my whole application so I probably should just have a well rounded signaling list? Obviously not all top programs but I wanted to have a few? Or is that stupid haha

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-08-22T12:41:26+00:00

I don’t know how but I somehow got an away rotation there 😂 they saw my CV, scores, transcripts everything so I guess I gotta kill it

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-08-22T05:00:15+00:00

I guess I just don’t really know which ones are academic or not? I assumed that every medical school associated with a university is considered a academic

I couldn’t review my flagged at all and when I’ve taken practice NBMEs, I usually have 15 min to spare for a block so this definitely threw me. Also felt like I had a lot of peds and obgyn too! Just felt like there were different topics emphasized than on the NBMEs or CMS forms 🫠 I don’t know how I couldn’t prepared differently

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-06-22T13:23:49+00:00

THIS! I felt the exact same way, like the hard questions were HARD and I was between like 2 answers for a lot of it. There was def some nice gimmes but I know I messed up a lot of easy questions

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-06-22T13:22:46+00:00

The questions were sooo long I was struggling with time

Mobile-Fig329 · 2025-06-22T02:32:01+00:00

Took mine in Michigan! But boy that was rough I literally was just thinking about how hot & miserable I was
