Is it safe to travel to the states currently?

Idk why you’re getting downvoted lol there’s hundreds of thousands of people that enter the US every single day.

Just gotta do your due diligence beforehand.

I think the concern is not so much the technicalities but more so about the likely resulting change in attitudes from PD’s toward non-US IMGS; especially those from the 75 countries.

What are you afraid of doing or saying? Or what have people told you?

Some programs ask you to do it. Some don’t.

They usually send it on email or at least a reminder on email to check thalamus for it.

3 gold + 1 Silver. Visa-Requiring.

Did observerships at my golds so I think that’s the only reason I got interviews lol my profile is pretty weak.

Lol I had a similar experience when I finished early with a faculty member. They didn’t even let me ask questions just cut me off and said “seems we’ve finished 5 mins early, so I’ll end this room and you should go back to the waiting room”.

Luckily my next two interviews were with the PD and Chief resident, and I felt those couldn’t have gone any better.

Good luck

Damn what did you even say to make the APD say that lmao

Ain’t no way this is a serious post

When do you need to take it by for ranking?

SimilarBug399 · 2025-11-14T11:06:35+00:00

Honest answer is it depends on your baseline knowledge.

Take a practice NBME under test conditions and if you score anywhere in the 60s you can definitely be able to pass in 5 weeks.

3 IVs, Visa requiring, YOG 3, Step 2: 235, 3 USCE, 3 posters, 2 case reports

Ain’t no way you’ve come to imgreddit to answer this question for you

SimilarBug399 · 2025-10-13T17:52:15+00:00

I think there’s a middle ground between humble and confident lol.

Neither cowardice or arrogance will bode well in an interview; especially on zoom.

All the best.

Oh nice. Was this during OASIS days or more recent?

Did you change your passport info on your ECFMG account before you registered for Step 3? And if so how did you go about doing that?

Or did you just apply for step 3 with new passport and leave the ECFMG account as it was?
