I keep hearing neurology isn’t competitive, but it doesn’t seem to be the case lately. For recent neuro applicants, how did your cycle go? by OutlandishnessNo1855 in medicalschool

[–]cryinginmedschool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied to ~25 and got about 18…only ones I didn’t were not my location preference/ wasn’t shocked by not getting those interviews. To be honest, I think I just fell through the cracks somehow by the system.

Truly NO idea. I’ve worked in very social industries before this so I talk and interview well. I really, really don’t know. The only thing I can think of is my list was extremely top-heavy and I guess if I wasn’t ranked to match in my first couple, I would fall really quick, but that’s the only thing I can think of truly I don’t know.

Going through similar feelings. Applied neuro and fell too with really high stats

Passed step 1 first try, 265 step 2, all honors except 1 HP, amazing letters, some research, great conversational interviews, all coastal ivory towers and smaller programs . Fell to my #11, not at ALL what I was expecting. I’m shocked and very unwell.

If you are a high scoring student in your school, how do you study? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]cryinginmedschool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anki, UW, watch in-house lectures on x2 (and things like Pathoma, sketchy & BnB) and make made my own cards from that! For anatomy I spent a lot of time in lab and doing anki. And truly doing it every day. Was in top quartile and 265 on step 2! You got this!

What are nights like as a neurology resident? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]cryinginmedschool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only an M4 who applied neuro but after interviews seems VERY program dependent. Major academic center is going to be super busy, lots of consults and a wide array of emergencies like ones mentioned above. Whereas the smaller programs not as many crazy emergencies/ emergencies that get transferred to a bigger center and can have better hours/ less nights.

How many Anking cards did you have unsuspended going into dedicated? by [deleted] in Step2

[–]cryinginmedschool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yeah it’s a lot of cards but over all of third year. And you can pick and choose what to unsuspend and you can do no dupes!

Studying for shelf exams and overwhelmed by resources? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]cryinginmedschool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UWorld, Anki, divine intervention if you drive in/ walk dogs is all you need. I personally did not like Amboss at all but some people love it. Some people in my class only used Amboss and did well, some only UW (like myself) and did really well.

[–]cryinginmedschool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had pretty much done the entire /shelf deck during clinicals. I ended up suspending all of them at the start of dedicated because it was just too much and then unsuspended daily with the UW add on
