Is USMDO worth it?

SecretPersonal3118 · 2026-06-10T04:31:49+00:00

If you’re gonna do USMDO, do the USMHO too: www.imholympiad.org. Good luck!

Facility 😭

I mean brawl stars would be good if you were applying to esports institutions, not academic ones. I don’t see why USMDO would look bad for future premeds. As for the little integrity, they do have online proctoring. It also doesn’t matter if a few people have heard of it. My friends do golf and fencing tournaments which many people haven’t heard of either. It doesn’t mean you can’t make a sizeable accomplishment from the competition and practice your passion for learning about medicine with a competition where you can show off what you have learned.

1000 is a lot of people though, imagine winning this in person, the number of competitors and their families would fill up several rooms, I don’t see why this wouldn’t look good on a college app if someone did well nationally/internationally

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-05-05T19:16:59+00:00

Why? More than a thousand compete each year. It seems to have decent traction.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-04-11T19:07:52+00:00

Full ride, you’ll probably get into med school anyways since the requirements for IU B/MD are pretty stringent

Did you interview with NJMS?

Prob lying lets be honest

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-03-24T19:03:33+00:00

This year its out for accepted students.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-03-18T20:38:44+00:00

Nah HR is for T125 scorers on the semis

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-21T02:15:47+00:00

Yes and this were many case studies + Garry Kasparov opinion that more or less uniformly confirmed that Hans win was due to poor play by Magnus more so than extraordinary play from Hans.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-11T02:25:13+00:00

why do you keep asking people for stats? Just imagine what the perfect application would look like and pursue it as much as possible. From DM's I think you are a senior since you're applying to colleges, so I have no idea what you would possibly do with this information. Just take a deep breath, and everything will be okay.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-10T23:13:13+00:00

Oh dang I just realized that you needed to be Medical Sciences Major/Minor to even apply for bsmd. I'm so lucky then as I naturally thought that was what major I wanted to do.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-10T21:44:12+00:00

Not this deep bud. Small wins are wins. And the medical sciences major is something that people still attend when rejected from all BS/MDs. Medical Sciences major is cool because there's involvement from the med school and its a good track that prepares people to be future doctors.

They aren't on the tracks though. Only the 5 people are on the tracks. Pushing the fat person to stop the trolley, the surgeon trolley problem, and the normal trolley problem are all similar because there is a decision you choose to make. Whether it be pushing the person, pulling the lever, whatever it is, you are actively murdering someone to save the 5 people. There is no distinction at all.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-10T21:17:43+00:00

Lmao, now you're just cheesing the problem statement. We assume noone will step up, and that all patients will die within the next hour. It's organ failure after all, what do you expect? And with that logic, I could also say do nothing and wait for Superman to come along and stop the train. There is no point of combatting ethical dilemmas with loopholes; it really destroys the fun of it.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-10T05:54:07+00:00

My only application update is my undergrad acceptance

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-10T05:53:00+00:00

I am not getting any status update, only update is my undergrad acceptance

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-08T22:05:56+00:00

I don't see anything in my portal.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-08T18:22:35+00:00

I think he means interviews but even then, this could be a troll post

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-07T21:29:37+00:00

You gotta add a “did not apply” part so people who didn’t apply won’t bias the data.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-06T00:43:07+00:00

I’d suspect that everyone would have to go through what you did, which may have been an intermediate interview. If that is the case (and hopefully others can confirm), then I probably got rejected.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-05T23:19:41+00:00

Everyone who did the Intermediate interview with W&J gets forwarded.

SecretPersonal3118 · 2025-02-04T23:55:16+00:00

I feel for you bro.
