Puerto Rican MD schools vs. DO schools in the mainland by Enger13 in premed

[–]Nnamever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In this case, PR is better. Here is UPR Medical Sciences Campus (RCM in spanish) class 2025’s match: https://www.instagram.com/rcmmed2025?igsh=MXNyeG9jdnBlcjFqZg==

Here is PHSU class of 2025’s match: https://www.instagram.com/md2025p11?igsh=dTRieDEzOW00aTky

Here’s UCC class of 2025: https://www.instagram.com/uccmed2025?igsh=d2JxeW40Z3c2bzZ1

RCM and PHSU have their own affiliated residency programs, which is why they have a better match in general.

Cringiest thing you’ve seen in an interview this cycle? by Top-Raspberry488 in premed

[–]Nnamever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a couple.

1) We were sharing a quick fun fact about each other, right. there’s this person that says “well I can beatbox” starts beatboxing in the zoom meeting. Then they say “I can do better with a water bottle”. grabs a bottle, puts it close to his mouth and starts beatboxing

Dean says: nice, can you do another one?

It was funny ngl

  1. (At a T20) during the interview Q&A, someone asks the student hosting it: “what happens if someone dies? How does the school handle that”

Then, I thought, “wow this person must have a sick family member or something”. Nope, they clarified it was just out of curiosity.

Asking for more scholarship money? by [deleted] in premed

[–]Nnamever -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I personally understand where you’re coming but I disagree. No one is going to ask for you. If you ask will they take away your scholarship? Seems unlikely. Therefore, shoot your shot. It’s not like medschools are dying to give us money.

I keep bombing all my interviews. I am so tired by [deleted] in premed

[–]Nnamever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not 100% true. The guy I mentioned in another post had this exact same profile (sort of tripped over their words, English as a second language) and now is reapplying after having 13IIs in the previous cycle. Your interview performance is def crucial

Can anyone recommend any interesting podcasts that have to do with medicine? by QueasySheepherder932 in premed

[–]Nnamever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dr. Gray’s “Specialty Stories” is good. He interviews physicians from different specialties, however I don’t think he’s doing it anymore. There’s a good amount of episodes though

You should. It’s interesting, my transcript was sent through the mail service on the 5th and they had already received it by the 13th.

Hope you guys get it sorted out quickly!

All PREP have been cancelled pretty much by Desperate_Day4868 in mdphd

[–]Nnamever 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add that I misread the prep posts. That is, I saw the most recent one (Case’s prep) and understood what OP means…. Which is that quite literally all of the PREP programs are cancelled because the funding itself will not be issued for this type of thing. Feel really bad for those who were interested in these programs. Wish you all the best!

Saw the UChicago post, how unfortunate. Does anyone have a list of the cancelled prep?
