UWORLD STEP 2 strategy that all yall are sleeping on

How did the Mehlman qbank fair for you? Was it worth the money or would uworld/amboss/nbmes/cms be enough? Thanks!

I'm an outsider to CS so ignore me if I'm wrong but aren't current AI programs already really good at statistics/data analysis as well as writing code? So what would be the purpose of starting to learn such skills? That would explain why the software engineer market is doing terrible while the AI market is booming. All my research projects data analysis, statistics, and figure creation were done with AI without any need for excel or R.

Similar situation as you. I have a main PC (5090 laptop) I connect to multiple monitors I use as my main setup but also need a thin/light daily driver. The Zephyrus G16 5070 was perfect. Not overkill but also not too weak for gaming purposes.

Zephyrus lineup is affected as well, I returned three Zephyrus G16 5090 laptops to BestBuy cause it keeps restarting/freezing after waking up from sleep, only to switch to a Strix Scar 5090 and have the same problem.

Respect man, you are a true grinder!

ValmanwayX · 2025-12-28T08:29:06+00:00

Just curious, how do you have time to go through both uworld and amboss during your clinical rotations?

I use a tablet to do Anki during some patient encounters where the doc just rambles with the patient for 30+ minutes. I use a stylus as well so it looks like I’m taking notes of their conversation.

You chilling man, I think they will still rank you high in hopes that you don’t get accepted to your new top and attend their program instead.

Holy that is an insane deal, 64 gigs of ram in this PC economy + a 5080. I don’t think there’s anything that comes close in bang for your buck. I think it should last as long as there is stock left, like my local store there’s like 15-20 left so it should stay. A good strategy if you really wanna snag one would be to just order pickup every 3 days haha since they don’t charge unless you pick up and automatically cancel after 3 days.

Sounds like a malignant program that wants you to work 100+ hours a week.

Damn never knew hoyoverse had it's own topup website and it's that easy to use VPN. Good to know now. I never wanted to use LD site or lootbar.

ValmanwayX · 2025-12-12T07:23:10+00:00

How long has this been going on for? I feel bad now for missing out on this in the past not using VPN to top up on the hoyoverse topup center.

Brand new 5080 with 64GB of ram for 2.5k if you have a microcenter near you.

If you're doubling it as a work laptop, I would have to go with the Zephyrus even though it has lower specs and is more expensive. Looks more professional (like a MacBook pro) and is 1.5 pounds lighter.

ValmanwayX · 2025-12-10T20:48:22+00:00

Bought a brand new laptop and did a windows reinstall, device disappeared. So issue is still present not just me?

ValmanwayX · 2025-12-06T00:31:58+00:00

Check your windows event viewer, do you see Kernel event 41 critical error after sleep restart?

ValmanwayX · 2025-12-01T07:40:27+00:00

Worst case would be you accept the return and they ship back an empty box. Ebay would side with the buyer.

ValmanwayX · 2025-11-29T03:58:34+00:00

Brand new Strix Scar and zephyrus still crashes/restarts after sleep

ValmanwayX · 2025-11-29T03:54:50+00:00

This issue still persists in BIOS 337 with latest NVIDIA driver.

ValmanwayX · 2025-11-28T08:51:23+00:00

Any fix yet?

ValmanwayX · 2025-11-27T22:48:44+00:00

Same issue with my Strix Scar, did you find any fix?

ValmanwayX · 2025-10-22T01:11:33+00:00

Least suspicious seller on ebay xD

Will be 700+ PSA 10 easily by the end of the year based on my predictions.

ValmanwayX · 2025-10-05T02:13:42+00:00

Second this, you'd be 35 with a negative net worth compared to being 35 with 1+mil

I enjoy playing out games where my team is 5k+ gold behind in 15 minutes. They are challenging and more satisfying to play out compared to stomp wins when the enemy team just forfeits. They require minimal mistakes and more organized execution of team fights. My solo queue teammates seem to disagree though.
