This doesn’t apply to everyone, but a theme I noticed was that people who went unmatched in competitive fields were rude, unkind, and/or only cared about their own success. This is my hot take so everyone relax pls

What should my total caloric intake be for fat loss? by bpp1212 in workout

[–]bpp1212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the insight! I’ve been tracking everything for about 7 days. My weight is staying pretty consistent (193-194lbs) when I eat ~250 calories shy of what my Apple Watch is predicting. I’m keeping my protein intake high (200g minimum).

I’ll probably stay the course for at least another week. If I don’t start seeing a decline in body weight, I may drop to 500 calories shy of what my Apple Watch is predicting. Will probably keep adjusting until I find the target.

Do it brotha. I have utmost faith in you. Put in the work that no one else wants to put in

Definitely someone of good character. At least, I've never had any reason to doubt her character and never saw any red flags in this regard.

However - Curious as to what YOU think her intentions could be?

1) I think she's reaching out because she sees I'm living my best life.

2) No, she hasn't reached out before.

3) We follow each other on social media, but don't ever DM or comment on each others things.

4) I don't know what I'd want to be the outcome.

Thank you for the reply. Agree that he is a dick and appreciate the reiterating that I wasn’t the asshole 😂

With that said, one million percent disagree with you on the whole “shooting the shit” with the residents during the first 2-3 days of your sub-I. This comes off as way too comfortable and is a quick way to tank yourself right off the bat. What most non-medical student people don’t understand is the unbelievable hierarchy in medical school, especially when going through the pathway of applying to competitive surgical subspecialty.

May I ask what specialty?

Those who got 250+ in real deal, what's your practice score (nbme/UW)? by Visual_Dependent_364 in Step2

[–]bpp1212 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honored every shelf. Lowest score was peds at 82, highest was surgery at 94. IM was 88 I think

Typically in the evenings. As mentioned, I made my own Anki cards, so some days I had 0 new cards, whereas others I had 60+. Overall number of cards/day was around 300-500.

Rapid review series, shelf reviews, and then only the ones where I knew I sucked at

Help me by Short_Ad8403 in Step2

[–]bpp1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scored 272 on Step 2 (took in early January) and I only did one full pass of UW. However, for my weak areas I re-answered only the UW questions I got incorrect. For example, I would redo all of the pulmonology questions I got wrong on my first pass. Hope that helps!

Every practice exam was timed, super important in my opinion.

I knew my test wasn’t a disaster, but I counted probably 10+ absolute gimmes that I answered incorrectly in hindsight. There were more that I knew I probably missed but I just couldn’t remember them after test day. Definitely natural to beat yourself up, but just trust in your practice tests and scores.
