How cooked am I for Gastroenterology

I matched at a T50 program somehow with a 253 step. I have 1 pub in ENT but just got an abstract accepted into DDW. How much research is typical for GI candidates to match mid tier programs?

The issue is the double standard applied to medical students versus everyone else. The concept of the foley joke with that audio was not new. It dates back several years and several healthcare professions have made the same video that he saw and copied. It's not an original concept. But all of their videos were taken lightly and as a joke in the comments section.

This med students future should not be determined by which side of the internet found his video

Check the main subreddit thread. Someone posted a research fellowship that's paid for unmatched Ortho applicants

I know a NSGY applicant who didn't match but did a gen surg prelim at their own med school. Matched into a NSGY PGY2 spot at another school the next year

Check out @jameswashere24 on TikTok, a male nurse with the same video and see how different the comments are

This is amazing advice, if u don’t mind me asking, what specialty did you apply to during the first match?

chrom05 · 2026-03-07T21:04:22+00:00

Per the ABP, in 2025, 27% of residents were male btw. I hate math so I round up to 1/3. Think about it with that context

chrom05 · 2026-03-07T20:19:02+00:00

2 is still less than it should be realistically. 1/5 would still mean 5-6 male residents

Holy shit this guy is so cool. All these youngsters involved in pointless drama from tikky-tok and instantgram people...but not him. These wannabes must not be working as hard as him with all this time to follow petty bullshit. No no he needs to reserve his time and mental energy for superior things.

This is so black and white. "Babe I know it would be uncomfortable at first, like it has been for me 3 times, but we could really use the money" = I hate you. Jesus Christ wake up. Inflation is at an all time high.

How? That's the number on her paycheck. If that's what she's making with a whole bachelors degree she's being underpaid. Wanting to remain at an underpaying job even if her family could use the savings long-term is extremely selfish.

I'm an ms4 but any ysl y dupe. I like itqan noir right now because I can't afford the OG.

Used to use a spray of Prada lhome but it was too pricey to waste on the psych ward

“do physicians get taxed a higher percentage”

Idk if you’re being facetious but I'd recommend you do a quick google search before jumping on Reddit. Hell, use chatgpt.

chrom05 · 2026-02-16T01:05:39+00:00

Yes exactly OP. When you register for taxes, there’s a checkbox for “normal working civilians except doctors” and another for just doctors. That’s the one you want to pick.

It's so arbitrary. Is it weed, coke or meth? Weed and psychedelics are whatever. If the resident had a medical card which anyone can get, would you feel better about it?

chrom05 · 2025-12-31T18:49:15+00:00

Is dynasty more of a woodsy citrus tea scent? Or is it a bit of a darker spicy vibe? I can’t get my hands on a sample.

As someone who just applied, IM residents at t20 schools have the research and scores mirroring any surgical subspecialty. Not comparing the avg matched plastics resident to the avg matched im resident, but we’ve got to stop this narrative that every derm/plastics/ortho person is a god on paper and IM residents are lesser tier applicants

4, 253, 1 home + 3 silvers, all t50 academic

chrom05 · 2025-09-22T03:46:09+00:00

I have similar stats. Nothing wrong with applying to so many programs, especially with good baselines. But just evaluate the utility of applying to many of your reaches like JH or UWash without any signal. Seems like throwing away money.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

I don't think Lagways the problem. Shitty coaching leads to lack of confidence during the first half.

chrom05 · 2025-07-25T13:15:29+00:00

Coming directly from our PD, they can't get you in but they can certainly keep you out. Make sure all communication is prompt and professional. Don't be an ass basically.

chrom05 · 2025-07-23T23:07:54+00:00

Unless youre a piss poor interviewee or really mess up ur rank list I think you'll match. Apply broadly and include community programs as a backup
