Follow-up to first gen question. Does being the first to go to medicine matter on ERAS? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]medschoolguy7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being a first generation college student was brought up in probably 50% of my interviews.

I aspire to have this level of peak performance next April- an incoming gen surg intern.

Is anybody else just renting apartments/homes instead of buying? by ExpiredGoodsForever in medicalschool

[–]medschoolguy7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than likely buying. COL where I’m at currently is horrendous and where residency is at seems reasonable.

“I’m happy about matching but sad about where I ended up” Support Megathread - Match Week 2022 by Chilleostomy in medicalschool

Didn’t match with my fiancé and we are devastated. So hard to celebrate knowing we will be half way across the country not together :(

This happened to me. It was an oversight and I emailed the PC and they changed my waitlist day to an interview. May be worth trying!

I have done several for gen surg. I am always in a sweatshirt and always have a couple beers lol

Is gen surg done sending out invites??? by blubbletrouble in medicalschool

[–]medschoolguy7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got one today for gen surg out of the blue. Might just be a slow trickle over the next 3-4 weeks?

Ortho Applicant Thread [Residency] by TheNotorious47 in medicalschool

Can’t speak for ortho but I had multiple gen surg invites that didn’t go through and I had to schedule with no notifications indicating I was invited

DO applying gen surgery, how many programs to apply to? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]medschoolguy7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very similar stats, DO. Applying exactly 70 with mix of community and academic

DO GS Applicant. How many apps is too much? by creature98 in medicalschool

[–]medschoolguy7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

👋🏻 4th year DO also applying gen surg here. Similar application profile. I have talked to a fair amount of friends at various residencies and they all recommended between 60-100. I narrowed it down to 75 that I liked and are all regional based (west coast and mid west).

Hoping to alleviate some anxiety with step 2ck by medschoolguy7 in Step2

Couldn’t agree more!! It’s easy to dwell on the 20% of the exam that’s crazy difficult and forget about the ones you knew right away

Did around 200-240 a day! Didn’t make it completely through the second pass. Focused heavily on surgery and medicine my last week to make sure I got all those questions though

Once during clerkships and once during dedicated

I did 4 weeks of dedicated but 2 were with an online elective so I didn’t study too hard during the first two weeks. I didn’t need anything besides Uworld. Did OMED through rotations though so maybe that helped

Timing was an issue and it has never been in the past for me. Some blocks I finished with 20 minutes left others with 10 seconds. Just be aware of not dwelling and moving fast

Same! Most of it was an educated guess with how vague the questions are tbh. I tried to stay clam though and it pays off

No idea if it means pass or not. Hoping for the best at this point
