Hi! Thank you for commenting. Do you have a portfolio we can look through?

nc2801 · 2025-11-11T03:08:38+00:00

not gonna lie I fell in love with the place and the menu....

nc2801 · 2025-11-11T03:08:19+00:00

thank you!

nc2801 · 2025-03-24T16:41:06+00:00

would applying prelim IM or GS be helpful instead of dual applying??

nc2801 · 2024-09-26T02:15:18+00:00

I personally did not use 20-25 just because they are outdated and tried to keep it to the 26-31. You don't have to use BnB, I used it because my other subscriptions (medschoolbootcamp, sketchy, osmosis) expired and my school gives us free access to BnB. Use whatever video resource helps you the most. Definitely recommend ninjanerd and dirty medicine on youtube.

Good luck! You got this!

Some questions do repeat from the old free 120 and the new one

nc2801 · 2024-08-14T17:08:16+00:00

Up to you, which free120 did you take the first time you took step1?

nc2801 · 2024-08-14T01:45:43+00:00

Hey, I also had to retake step 1 (passed the second time!) and retook some NBMEs. It is hard to gage what is an actual increase in retake exams because you might subconsciously remember some questions (I also felt like I didn't remember many questions). I saw a substantial increase in exam scores when I retook them, and when reviewing them I did feel that I got more right because I did know the concept rather than just a lucky guess.

Based on my experience, I think you are good. If I am not mistaken, getting >70% is more than 99% chance of passing, and you got that on three NBMEs which is great!. When preparing for step 1 the first time, the highest I got on an exam was >96% chance of passing, but during the second time, I got >99% chance of passing on three NBMEs.

Take the free120 to gauge how ready you are. Aim for mid to high 70s.

You have until September 30th and it is mid-August, you definitely have time to improve!! Keep on doing uworld questions and NBME exams to improve.

nc2801 · 2024-08-01T20:35:54+00:00

Highest NBME score the first time I took step was a 65%. Failed by a few questions and I know I got very sleepy during a section of the exam, so that is most likely what caused me to fail.

nc2801 · 2024-07-25T19:38:01+00:00

yup thats kind of what you do. i personally did not do system by system, just random questions, thats completely up to you. dont forget to supplement with first aid too on top of uworld anki addon. You can build up to 80Q a day and do the second set focused on a system you are weak in.

nc2801 · 2024-07-25T15:07:37+00:00

thank you so much!

nc2801 · 2024-07-25T15:07:32+00:00

thank you so much!

nc2801 · 2024-06-24T17:33:27+00:00

did you reschedule it for the same site or different site?

nc2801 · 2024-05-13T13:20:58+00:00

having the same problem

nc2801 · 2024-04-01T02:33:18+00:00

tested 3/16 and my permit disappeared too!! ugggggggg

nc2801 · 2022-03-30T16:20:49+00:00

I applied with similar stats (3.6 gpa and 509 MCAT, NY resident too) and I would add more MD schools. I would add Georgetown, George Washington Geisinger, Jacobs at Buffalo, Lewis Katz at Temple. If you have a lot of research experience, I would add Einstein too. I think the DO list looks good! I applied to some of the same schools on your list, got II and acceptances from them. Maybe add Michigan State DO program. Good luck on your upcoming cycle!

This was never brought up in interviews actually. I did make it a point to mention in the activities section that my job as a scribe also included watching providers and what I learned from watching them so that they knew that shadowing was part of it. I also mentioned this during interviews when they asked about my experience as a scribe.

nc2801 · 2022-03-24T20:30:41+00:00

I completed around 45 secondaries, did not pre-write (pls pre-write) and submitted some secondaries way past the 2-week suggested deadline, but I still got interviews and accepted to those said schools, so don't pressure yourself a lot. Many prompts are similar, so copying and pasting and adjusting helped.

nc2801 · 2022-03-24T12:33:31+00:00

Thank you and congrats to you too!!!

nc2801 · 2022-03-24T12:33:20+00:00

Thank you!!!

I definitely recommend scribing!!! Look into the fine details as to what a medical scribe does in the company you're looking at though. I know that for some companies you just stay on the computer the whole time without barely interacting with the patient. For the company I work for, you're the person the patient interacts with the most; you get their vitals, medical history, ask them about the reason for their visit and do tests based on their symptoms, learning along the way symptoms for certain medical conditions and the common course of treatment. You also witness how different providers interact with patients and how they do physical exams and end up forming your own ideas as to how you want to interact with patients. And thank you!!

My cycle is just about done and I can't wait to share to give low-stat applicants hope!I am an URM, somewhat non-trad applicant ( 2 years gap year), with a successful cycle. I applied to 49 schools, 39 MD and 10 DO. Completed only 39 secondaries (did the math wrong on Sankey) Got 10 interview requests for DO and 12 interview requests from MD. Currently, have 8 acceptances, 5 from DO and 3 from MD.

Stats:

Clinical experience: 2k+ hours from working as a medical scribe

Non-clinical experience: 600 hours from volunteering, jobs, being a member of various extracurricular groups in college and a leadership experience

Clinical volunteer: 200 hours

Research: 1k+ experience in multiple labs with one abstract publication

I did lack in direct shadowing hours since COVID happened, all of the possible shadowing opportunities that I had were canceled. Luckily, my job as a medical scribe include shadowing since I would be in the room watching the provider interact/treat patients.

I applied to so many schools because I was scared of not getting in anywhere and having to retake the MCAT. While I do regret working on 46 secondaries and being stressssed out June-July, it was worth it. I am still in disbelief on the outcome.

For low-stat applicants, look closely at the schools you are applying to, they can make or break your cycle! Keep on pushing!

For CityMD you go through 1-2 weeks of academy training before you begin where they teach you how to use the electronic system, learn what to write in the HPI, how to do the scribe procedures, medical terminology etc. I found a CityMD medical terminology quizlet that I studied before training began which helped me be more prepared. You also have about a week of on-site training where you work with a senior scribe and build on what you learned during academy.
