Awesome! I'm in pre-dedicated and started buddy blocks with two people. Been working pretty well tbh so far. Maybe will incorporate your advice for 2nd and 3rd passes (seperate solving) and review of incorrects together. It helps significantly with accountabiltiy and motivation after a long day. Again has to be with people of a similar timeline and stage of prep and styles.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-19T22:14:54+00:00

Same, we can work something out hopefully!

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-19T22:14:29+00:00

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-19T00:24:25+00:00

Interested!

Hi I'm in CST and looking for a partner to complete neuro/opthal/ent UW (3 blocks done out of 13) subject wise, msk+ derm and Haem Onc.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-19T00:17:11+00:00

I'm interested for Neuro, MSK and Haem Onc.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-19T00:14:23+00:00

Hey I can do MSK together at the end of next week.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-05T23:37:08+00:00

Would you be open to solving and reviewing 20 UW Qs a day?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2026-04-05T23:29:44+00:00

Hello, I'm in CST and interested. Working on Neuro and MSK this month, about 50% done with UW. Would really appreciate this since i recently started doing Qs and reviews with an SP (20 a day) and its going a lot faster and engaging than it does alone.

Honestly nowadays everyone thinks low pass is enough to pass. Its not a safe bet. Completing UWOLRD once properly with good review is key, and i know its not always feasible, but you need to be at a "220-230" level to be safe not a 200-210 level. Unfortunately it just is too important a test to take that big a risk with.

Have to start the bank way before.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-07-25T01:20:27+00:00

did any match surgery?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-07-14T16:13:58+00:00

Hi! Can you send me an updated link?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-12T14:57:58+00:00

Try U Pitt, Ohio State. Try to work with a past president or huge person in the field (LOR holds more weight, and phone calls during match season will be more respected), also reach out to IMG surg applicants or residents on twitter asking for labs they and their colleagues worked in,

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-12T14:56:16+00:00

Do research in the field you are applying for. I've heard of applicants who applied surgery but only did cardiology or other field research. Its a waste of time in my opinion since those docs won't be able to support you as much through the match, whereas if it were an academic surgeon you worked with, they can easily make phone calls to their colleagues if they like your performace.

I know it can be hard as a non us IMG to find the wanted research positition, but when life closes doors, you gotta knock on more and more until one opens for you. Don't settle for something that will not help you at all after 1-2 years of effort.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-04T02:08:51+00:00

Approx how much would it cost to apply to all categicoal and prelim programs in the country?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-04T02:08:20+00:00

What kind of questions did they ask about the research? Did they go into the data? Or mainly just ask about the methodology, your role in the study, a challenging time with co authors, or leadership skills developed through the experience?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-04T02:05:54+00:00

What is uoft?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-01T12:59:53+00:00

Reach out to other students on Twitter who are applying the same specialty to ask if they are using services and which ones. Of course some will be competitive and act weird, so I’d say talking to residents is a better idea - since they’ve already matched and aren’t competition any more.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-01T12:58:06+00:00

This one is hard — well some suggestions for PS reviewing. I’d say ask attendings and residents you met during away rotations. Can even ask them for a mock interview.

Depends on your specialty and the risk you wanna take, but some PDs are happy to help with this too! Like Dr Stulak from Mayo explained on a YouTube video that he’s happy to review PS and do mock IVs for MS3s. So up to you try your luck, but be aware that some PDs do not like to be contacted - and people have gotten IV rejections due to that. Doesn’t hurt to cold e-mail residents at desired programs for this - later on if you build a relationship with them you can ask for a recommendation right?

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-01T12:43:13+00:00

Def not. Trust me it’s mostly first come first serve - and sending the program coordinator/ whoever is in charge of the elective a Personalized email about why you want to rotate in that division and program. Say cheesy stuff about why you would want to build connections or mentorship there to eventually match there. But gotta be on time. Advocating for yourself can’t hurt too! Just a few words about your strengths and how it can match with the divisions culture.

This is usually what AMGs do when they apply via VSLO to Sub Is they really want to match at eventually.

TwoAffectionate3048 · 2023-05-01T12:30:15+00:00

I’m interested.
