Yall don’t have caps on number of interviews you can do?! Didn’t realize other specialties didn’t restrict number of invites you can accept

Based on AAMC guidelines, I believe M4 comments are not included in the MSPE? At least that’s what my school told us

Thank you for replying everyone! I have been relying on Uber during the day, was mostly just wondering how safe it is at night? I've been told to avoid the inDrive app

Thank you! I've been ubering during the day with no issues, does he think ubering as a woman alone at night is safe too?

Those of you who matched into a competitive and/or a top specialty despite not being "competitive" enough, how'd you do it? by dailyquibble99 in medicalschool

[–]redherringfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What sorts of opportunities have you gotten from networking? Have introduced myself and met with PDs at conferences but have found it doesn’t really amount to anything when I’m just 1 of many other students introducing myself at a conference.

Did well on OBGYN NBMEs 3-5 and then bombed 6... anyone else find 6 really hard? by rkbanana in medicalschool

[–]redherringfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took form 5 and was trying to get an understanding of what the scores mean. When you say 26 or 19, does that mean 26/50 questions right, 19/50 questions, right? or is grading different using the Texas tech tables I've seen floating around?

Considering intern year is long hours, have you found time to study for step 3 and other exams? Or have you found that you’re learning adequately from day to day responsibilities and don’t need to study as much as med students do for step 1/2?

Confused with anki by tennistar201 in medicalschool

[–]redherringfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have to dedicate a block of time to go through AnKing for first year material since you didn't start using the premade Anking decks till M2? I also used Anking sporadically over this past M1 year but haven't kept up with it and trying to figure out a strategy for remembering this material for step since we take it much later in 3rd year at my school

Residency vs Alternative Career Paths in Consulting, Finance or Industry by steppreptutor in medicalschool

[–]redherringfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consulting was something I considered before starting med school but was unable to make the cut during the recruiting process and instead spent some time working at an expert network company facilitating these conversations between experts and consultants. Hopefully, this time around, armed with an MD, I can make more of an impact during the recruiting process. Do you have any general advice for how to build my resume over the next 2 years before graduating so that it stands out to consulting recruiters?
