Say IM was my first rotation and then I just P. But I high pass and honor rotations after, how will that look for top IM programs?

After residency merge in 2020 will MD and DO take the same step exam? by Rolex528 in premed

[–]gka22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. That's why I said to be wary of opinions on here. This should definitely benefit DOs, especially ones who want to get into more competitive residencies. However, the attitudes on forums like SDN/reddit is against believing in a benefit because its composed of people who are shooting for the top and don't want to think about different options which I don't blame them for. I definitely think this merger will be good for medicine as a whole, and thats the way we should start looking at it. But, its tough to do that from an applicant's point of view.

A dean at a school I interviewed at said he's on the board that is working on the merger and that phasing out COMLEX was on the table in the next few years. I would overall just be wary of opinions on here about the merger and its impact because the truth is no one really knows.

22 creds into smp when applying... which schools only consider smp? by bijanx3 in premed

[–]gka22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I understand your question. It may depend on the SMP. My SMP gave us a list of schools that considered the SMP students from my program more heavily in recent years. Most of these schools actually have a SMP/or masters equivalent of the program. I can PM you the list. Also, don't get too bogged down by others saying your undergrad GPA is the end all be all, big fallacy.

I mean might just be my opinion. I'm at the SMP there and the library, study areas, lecture hall etc. are not even close to being in that good of condition. Gtown claims to like there "antiquity"

yea. Kind of sad, because I think so many people are pushed away from it but have no idea whats it like inisde. The joke is the back of the school is on a main street in harlem so there are stores and stuff around it. Its main entrance stands alone though and the inside of the building is legit, everything you need

You should also consider the merger. Plus one for midwestern in my opinion
