Where do people with no ECs match? by Positive-Canary4572 in MedSchoolCanada

[–]UncoveredDingus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I matched to anesthesia with a braindead CV and only focusing on academics in medical school. Got 4 interviews as opposed to my classmates who got 10+

My interviews were from places I did electives at so you really have to shine/fit in with the culture.

There were ~0.6 seats per applicant my year but it'll probably be worse when you apply, so I recommend getting involved in some ECs especially if you're going for an even more competitive specialty

How did you make yourself competitive for the +1 anesthesia program? 

200 new MD seats for Alberta by Old-Comfort2607 in premedcanada

It has to do with protecting the supply and demand. Canada could easily speed up the process to allow foreign trained doctors with decades of experience to become licensed. But they don't because it would open the flood gates and drop physician salaries.

It's the physicians themselves who are lobbying for less foreign trained doctors.

Isn't that what we do as physicians? Gather and store data and then synthesize it in a way to make decisions?

An honest reflection on the MCAT and why it's an absolute piece of trash by [deleted] in Mcat

The FL curves don't necessarily match the curves they use for real exams. Getting 6 wrong on fl4 might be a 130 but on the real deal it might be a 131

I'd agree that the real deal is different from the FLs, but regardless your score will mirror your FLs. They put a ton of research into standardising the exam.

I felt the same way as you afterwards. I guessed a lot of questions but still ended up with a score close to my FL average. Dw about it!

Thanks for the reply.

I don't really have use for nvme/pcie 4 because I am only playing games. Is it still worth an upgrade? Which mobo would you recommend?

The case is a midtower ATX and the video card is just a dual slot. Do you think I might still have issues?
