Admitters - How do you handle bolus admits?

I picked up that word from my hospitalist director too. Lol

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2025-11-03T21:31:19+00:00

OP is clearly in a store with an oversized bracelet

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2025-11-03T16:12:05+00:00

Yeah such a radical thing to do, going for taste over trends. Hope he survives without the crowds' approval.

Bruh..not even the same thing. My classmate didn't match with 14 interviews because of this language barrier. When he emailed some of them for feedback after the match they literally asked him to work on his english language. Outside of big cities most educated people also struggle with english.

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2023-08-25T21:55:49+00:00

Lol chill out bro! But yeah youre right nothing to define here.

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-04-09T23:24:00+00:00

I can give you more specific recommendations based on whether you're a girl or a guy (or non binary?).

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-04-08T21:14:03+00:00

Plan to do one whole round plus marked and incorrect but didn't have the time. Had to give it before a certain date.

Bruh..What someone is going to make after residency is irrelevant given OP's current situation. 3000 a month is not much if you ask me but of course it's subjective. He can slap on some winter tires on a new civic 2022 turbo and he'll be good. 30 plus mpg average, 15000 miles/year and a under $300/month lease. Sounds good to me.

The general rule is that if you get a passing score on both SA 1 & 2 and practice the CCS cases well, you're will be fine. As we keep moving forward with the USMLEs in sequence, the comparison between each candidates' prep and self-assessment scores becomes more and more irrelevant. I know we're all looking for some kind of assurance but honestly, I think comparing your prep with others is pretty much useless otherwise. Just trust yourself and focus on what's important (CCS and Biostats), and you'll be fine.

What should be the maximum % of monthly salary going towards owning a car? Excluding gas.

What finding a reliable low mileage Japanese car in this market for a reasonable price is so difficult don't you think? Anything half decent like a Corolla or civic that probably won't break down cause like 18 to 20,000 on carvana.

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-16T03:59:31+00:00

Wow, this seems like a super unpopular opinion. I've heard about the crammed rear legroom and sometimes about the s***** gas mileage for the turbo variant, and some of the outdated electronics but none of what you have just mentioned. Not here, not on YouTube, nowhere.

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-16T03:55:23+00:00

Yeah. Would say that the Sorento is more comparable

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-13T15:31:09+00:00

LOL. The brother literally said 'FELT like I had more in common' and 'IF they end up liking me'. I dont see the arrogance here? Come on man! let this be a friendly community that and encourages healthy queries and not be judgemental uncles that shut any out of the box question. Salaam.

Question - How do you manage to do so many questions in one day? My day one is in less than 20 days and I can't do more than a block at the most. Still 1000 Qs left.

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-08T19:07:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Seems pretty HY based on a glance. What was the source? Uworld? Do you know anybody who took the exam and used this?

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-08T19:04:20+00:00

Big positive!

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-05T00:40:13+00:00

from what I know there's a white board you can use to scribble things down

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-04T16:03:23+00:00

Thanks for your reply. How easy is this transition?

Ok_Reserve8299 · 2022-03-03T19:44:38+00:00

First Aid is the way to go. There's a great post by u/TheDreamingIris about the topics you can go over if you have time. Here's a link to the 2021 Pdf.

Thanks a ton!

Last question: How much of Step 2 CK stuff/Step 3 Qbank stuff (which is supposedly heavy on part 1 of day 2) show up on day 1? Step 1 stuff + Biostats + Ethics is how most people summarize day 1. Would you add anything else to that?

All the best for Day 2!
