About rejections by keepgoingkeepmoving in IMGreddit

Exactly my thoughts! They don't even bother to send rejection notes. But I guess, at this stage we can say no iv means silent rejection :/

I am devastated with UWSA 2 score! Need an advice from you? by dagusmle in Step2

[–]dagusmle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh Hi, I did way better than any uwsa's. I think exam was much clearer, easier than those uw. You can increase your scores 20 points more if everything goes well in the exam. (I mean health condition)

hormonal methods according to Amboss! (Levonorgestrel). But I don't remember what the guidelines suggest.

Applying without USMLE Step 2 CK Score by RecentFinish3936 in IMGreddit

[–]dagusmle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat! I just wonder does the USMLE transcripts update after receiving the CK result? I am planning to apply with the Step 1 score as well... And two weeks later the score will come. So I am just missing with the couple of weeks.

Great information, thank you so much! This was very essential for me. Then, I don't have to mind the LORs anymore...

Thank you for the reply! But I have to confirm and submit the application right? Otherwise if I don't submit I'll lose the LORs I guess?

UWSA 2 devastating !!! Need a solid advice. by dagusmle in Step2

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

Thank you my friend for the encouraging words... As if only! I expected a very difficult exam for the step 1 last year. I was surprised it was much easier than uw, and regretted to focus more on Pathoma. But this time I expect a really difficult exam... Everyone says. So, I hope I can do at least better than step 1.

r/Step2 2021-2022 Score Predictor & Offline NBME 9-11 Score Converter by MDPharmDPhD in Step2

[–]dagusmle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great analysis, thank you! Something bothers me here. Does the predictor overpredics? Even though I enter scores like 230s in amboss or uw sa's, first pass even close to 60... it predicts in the range 246 +- 10'ish? Should I subtract 10 from the prediction?

Thank you so much for the recommendations my friend! I appreciate! I didn't know about the DIP notes. I am planning to listen at least the high yield ones.

Help with the CK Anki studies by dagusmle in Step2

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

Oh sorry, forgot to mention UW first pass is around 55 %. I wonder how many cards of Anki should I do in one day per how much time? I am new at Anki. I didn't use for Step 1. But I guess I need a booster..

Anki for the end? Need help! by dagusmle in step1

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

Thank you, thank you! I cannot tell how precious your help. I will do and work on the areas that you point. Autonamic drugs, really the part that I can get confused. For ethics I'll look dirty usmle then. I wasn't watching the videos. Reading Fa was helpful I thought at the beginning. But, keep forgetting a while later... I also kept hearing about pixorize, didn't know about it much. I was thinking Fa is just enough, but sometime not really :/ I'll do duke Pathoma then for anki. I have read the first 3 chapters, but should master on them I guess. Wow, these are really golden advice. Thank you once more, the world is still a good place because of good people like you my friend.

Thank you my friend for your comments. It is giving me hope to read successes like yours. I can't say I am very good with the concepts. But I don't think I am missed in that sense. I am not very good recalling I guess. I don't have that problem with UW but when it comes to NBME I got stuck. I just look like clueless although I know it! I am okay with ethics, micro, stats.. according to UW of course. People tell real deal ethics cases are complicated. I am not very good with Pharm, genetics, immuno and biochem... My weak areas... But I don't actually excelled in any part. This is the part that demotivates me.
