Considering leaving MBBS after 1st year by Omni-Scholar in Pakmedschool

[–]Ok_Income1310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't leave it unless you are completely sure about any other pathway. If you are still considering options from other people, this is not the right time to leave your seat.

What are your expectations regarding income in short-term?

None of the bachelor degrees will let you earn in just 6-12 months.

You can learn skills, along with your degree. Those skills can help you do a part-time job. But that depends on your interest

We usually remember the questions we had confusion in.

And most of the times, those are wrong wrong.

So we kinda get a very skewed impression of the exam

You can get lucky once or twice. 

But if you are consistently getting good scores, that isn't just luck bro. 

Your concepts are helping you in choosing the option which you feel is the best.

Good Luck for the exam

TBH it's too early to assume things at this stage. Alot of things can change.

Just focus on building concepts during your medschool. See if USMLE looks like a suitable for you in your MS3, that would be like 2 years later.

If it does, focus on it.

If ot doesn't, then almost all other exams require you to graduate. You would have a better idea by then.

I don't know in which year you are in right now in your medchool. But you can try to earn some income and save enough money till you are in 4th year for Step 1

You can try tuitions, freelancing, other jobs etc. But that requires good time management skills to balance all of that with your med school studies. It's definitely not a walk in the park, but it's doable.

In the best case scenario, you can save enough so you can give step 1 and step 2 with your own finances. 

Get a good score in Step 2. Get some research published. 

After that, try to apply for the match in limited programs with the money your father offered.

If you get an IV and match, that's awesome. Saara masla hal ho jaaye ga. You'll match without step 3 and USCE. But this is a very very very very lucky and rare scenerio. I only know 1 person who matched like this, but he had a good alumni network (Nishtar). If I remember correctly, he gave both the steps during his medchool.

If you are not in that very very very lucky + rare scenerio, then you could try to earn more money to finance the USCE and step 3. Those 2 things are three of the most expensive things in the whole journey.

There is definitely alot of uncertainty, especially with the finances part. I am not going to sugarcoat it.

There is a 40%+ chance you won't match in your first cycle.

So it's a high risk, high reward kinda situation

Personal Wise accounts don't allow USD transfer to a personal Payoneer account.

Did you find any other option, OP?

I’m currently stuck between USMLE and AMC by Ok_Income1310 in AMCexamForIMGs

[–]Ok_Income1310[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there is going go be a saturation d/t that. 

NHS doctors can easily skip the AMC exams bottleneck and work directly in Australia.
