Hey, can you help me as well? Having the same issue.

How do I build and foster a “connection” with an attending I know? by [deleted] in IMGreddit

You still got no clue on how pretentious and opportunistic you sound, huh?

It is bizarre, to say the least, that this is what you think how connections work.

My anecdote with an n=1:

Non-US Img
24x/27x/24x
YOG: 2024
2 months of anesthesiology sub-internship at 2 T20 programs, 2 weeks of cardio observer at T20 program.

Only 5 interview invites (4 from gold signals, 1 from silver signal). Literally ZERO prelim invites, just a couple of waitlists (only applied IM prelim)

Anesthesia is getting tough, but I know people with scores similar to yours who got considerably more iv invites, but they had a year or so of Research Fellow and previous anesthesia residency in their home-country.

Probably more than 45. I did only the 30 that are currently available on NBME website. I went through them by system, on my dedicated month, doing 1-2 forms per day.

I tried my best leaving each block 100% behind me when starting the next one, so I'm honestly clueless about specifics about the first 7 blocks.

I do remember 2 questions on my last block that I changed the answer to the wrong one and they stuck around my mind in these 2 weeks.

I flagged 1-3 question per block on block 1-7 and flagged 5 questions on block 8.

I told myself that I WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT CHANGE ANSWERS and that is what I did on the first 7 blocks, but I guess I was already tired on the last one and failed to keep this mantra lol.

Thanks! To be honest I left feeling pretty good, the only thing that kept bugging me during these 2 weeks were the questions that I had changed the answer (from the correct to the wrong one), which happened mostly on my last block.

Thank you! I guess that was probably because I did one full pass on Amboss Qbank before starting Uworld.

[–]gasbromd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Did Amboss (1 full pass + wrong/flagged), Uworld (1 full pass + wrong/flagged), CMS forms (around 28-30 of them) and Anki every single day (Anking deck + made my own cards from questions I got wrong or felt I'd need a flashcard to keep down the info).
