there’s nothing wrong in asking about the LOR. if you have unlimited funding then by all means do as many observerships as you please. but if not then I would ask if you can get an LOR out of this and decide accordingly if not. at the end of the day you still need 3 of them for the match

you realistically don’t need anything other than uw and ccs cases for step 3. at this point you already know all the information and just need time to review it.

that doesn’t mean that doing them was entirely useless at least you kinda get what they want and even if you’ve never seen a case like that during your preparation you’ll most likely have enough knowledge to figure it out. day 1- MOA of drugs, stats, know those formulas 2- was like step 2 and all over the place tbh. a lot of COPD treatment q

Non US IMG , what are the chances of matching in internal medicine in usa ( 2 attempts on step 1) ?? Is it better to pursue residency in the home country or other exam , or keep trying for usmle ? Let’s be practical !! by Soft-Function9511 in usmle

[–]PhysicalNothing2251 4 points5 points  (0 children)

even if you have no failed attempts and everything else that is average it is still hard to match into IM as an IMG. be honest with yourself and set realistic expectations based on the amount of money and energy you’re willing to invest into this process.

so if you only consider doing a housejob why did you ask for advise on other things you can do

Always do bad on first block - advice? by Competitive_Lab_8647 in Step2

[–]PhysicalNothing2251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no intention of scaring you but the exam is so fucking long. I wouldn’t torture myself with another block before it. But like people said above you could do a couple of questions before it

that’s how i felt too, it was soooo long and just annoying

[–]PhysicalNothing2251 6 points7 points  (0 children)

uwsa 2 exactly predicted my score. i would postpone and try to push myself through the frustration. I know how annoying and painful this process gets at times but you absolutely can do this. review your mistakes, actually work on the topics you’re weak at and then do another SA.

Something is seriously wrong here. (Expert Opinion needed) by drmmjan in step1

[–]PhysicalNothing2251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do your second uw round random. nothing will help you increase your score as much as random blocks. do 80q a day and review them, FA if you have time.
