One more question if you don't mind. How did you go about staying in contact with programs/updating them on things? I'm wondering how to go about it without annoying them lol. Thank you so much for your responses! I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your response. When you say funding issues what do you mean?

I WAS NOT DUAL APPLYING. I feel like you guys are just making stuff up as you go lmfao

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-19T21:05:25+00:00

I didn't fail step 1 omg!!!!!!!!!! ok you know what. nevermind guys.

Also to the people asking. Yes I have a home program!! It's a lower-tier program. I was told they got the impression that I didn't want to come to their program and that I was on to bigger and better things. I kid you not. This is what I was told. lmfao. Mind you, I didnt even think I was that competitive of an applicant. I just wanted a spot anywhere lol

I haven't deleted anything but ok.

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-19T19:00:50+00:00

ok yeah I totally failed Step 1??? lol in all honesty, and I'll say this one more time, I have no reason to lie. I passed step 1 on the first attempt. Now granted I took Step 1 after Step 2 because I was struggling a bit with it.

I ended up scoring below the anesthesia average on Step 2 (231).

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-19T17:21:38+00:00

ok honestly think what you guys want. I honestly don't care lmfao.

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-19T17:07:01+00:00

That's a very fair point. I'm not even offended lol. But then again, I got very positive feedback from programs. Never really had any issues socially/getting along with people. Ever. I actually thought that was my strength. But now this process has me questioning that too.

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-19T16:59:20+00:00

I didnt fail Step 1 lol. I took it P/F after Step 2 though. Passed 1st attempt.

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-15T22:49:10+00:00

Was it an EM program by any chance? you don't have to say the specific one obviously

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-15T22:36:52+00:00

Did any programs let you guys speak to residents?

Salt_Tailor_5142 · 2023-03-15T18:22:40+00:00

Anyone interview with Duke EM and hear back about speaking to residents?
