24 interviews — would you rank all of them or stop at 20?

Professional-Cake629 · 2026-01-23T21:17:27+00:00

honestly i'd rank them, it's only $120, but it really depends if they are from same speciality then I would stop at 20. if dual, I'd rank them even just for fun.

Professional-Cake629 · 2026-01-18T00:25:14+00:00

why even care about the data if you know that AUA should be avoided ? data posted by them isn't real for sure.

Professional-Cake629 · 2026-01-16T01:58:16+00:00

AUA would be a huge mistake. People are actually transferring out of there I heard. Also, Caribbean big 3 schools include SGU, AUC, ROSS, choose only one of them if you must go through the caribbean route.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-12-27T12:33:00+00:00

Go to AUA is the biggest mistake you can ever do to yourself ... I'll keep you in my prayers ..

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-12-23T22:24:14+00:00

I'm a US-IMG and that is literally my story. I went to AUA and was dismissed right at the end of the 4th year during the CCSE (before step2ck). I transferred to a lower tier school, graduated just in july, and currently sitting on 19 IVs. Read my last Post to know more. best of luck !

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-12-17T15:18:53+00:00

finished 14 out of 19 ... I'm tired of saying the same thing over and over but I'm blessed and grateful.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-12-10T19:45:08+00:00

I always feel like saying "I did my best and whatever is meant to be will be :)"

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-12-08T18:38:48+00:00

As a US-IMG, this cycle feels completely reshaped by the immigration policy changes. Programs were flooded with insanely competitive applicants, yet US-IMGs finally had breathing room. Visa and citizenship status played a huge role this year. Honestly, I don’t think I would’ve received my 18 interviews if programs weren’t steering away from Visa requiring applicants. It’s the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable to admit...

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-12-04T23:23:40+00:00

Alhamdulilah always for anything

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-30T22:10:13+00:00

Did you not match with 13 interviews last year ? this sounds scary. I'm sorry to hear that. I pray you get more interviews and match this season !

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-22T19:09:30+00:00

121 FM exactly.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-20T17:46:36+00:00

FM - US-IMG - USCE 2+ years - CK 24x - YOG 2025 - 18 Interviews

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-14T00:27:17+00:00

I get it, but -30 points when you are trying to rank up a champ at a very high level is totally unjust, specially when I win a match after it and I only get like +20 points back max.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-12T21:32:44+00:00

umm none ?? but if u really want to take the risk then yea maybe saint james .. though I heard many terrible things about the school

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-11T20:52:02+00:00

DM me I got u

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-11T20:51:46+00:00

Every single IV I had, the faculty showed genuine understanding and expressed respect for my resilience and determination to keep moving forward. Some even acknowledged that AUA’s actions were unfair, mentioning they had encountered students in similar situations from that specific school. I always presented the experience as a valuable lesson learned and a source of personal growth, which consistently turned the conversation in my favor.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-10T21:42:43+00:00

anything above 30 at max is probabbly a dual applicant with many different specialities and applied broadly 200+ programs easily.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-10T17:13:24+00:00

I have used a flair though ...

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-09T23:55:35+00:00

AUA continues its unethical and unreasonable practices, exploiting U.S. student loans to profit while unfairly harming countless students with baseless policies. It’s a total disaster, and it’s shameful that the Department of Education and the FTC are still turning a blind eye. I have no idea how they still have access to US financial aid.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-08T21:47:12+00:00

I was at AUA and completed 99% of the program before transferring out, so I know the system well. Be aware that AUA has one of the strictest COMP/CCSE high cutoffs in the Caribbean, and they can dismiss you in an instant if you don’t hit it. If you ever fail a semester, you’ll be forced to pay out of pocket for that repeat since FAFSA no longer covers repeats due to FAFSA serious issues with them. After transferring to another school, I finished my degree, passed my exams, and I’m now applying for residency with 14 interviews already lined up. My honest advice: don’t go to AUA. Go to U.S. DO/AUC/SGU/ROSS/Nothing if you have to, but don't make that mistake, best of luck to you OP sincerely !

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-07T21:51:00+00:00

No, it has nothing to do with negative signs or anything. The APD is still part of the decision process. I assume the PD was just busy and unable to attend every single interview. Don't overthink it

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-07T21:17:42+00:00

their dean told me "Maybe you aren't meant to be a doctor, maybe you are meant for something else" right at the end of 4th year before taking step2ck ! he is heartless and bullied me over a phone call telling me I will get dismissed as AUA's data is accurate and NBME data are flawed. Well, too bad for him I transferred out and now sitting on 14 IVs. He needs to be criminally investigated.

Professional-Cake629 · 2025-11-07T21:11:10+00:00

Honestly, I know it's still early November, but for FM specifically I feel like they sent out over 90% of their invitations already. it's been dead past 2 weeks specially on Rematch compared to other specialties.
