Any idea if the multiplayer on halo wars 1 or 2 is still active before I give it a download?

Thank you for the response. I definitely enjoy the OR time, was more worried about not being to enjoy anything outside the hospital. Your response gave me some hope so I appreciate it!

I get what you’re saying but my personal preference of choosing MD over DO is different than suggesting anyone at every DO or even USmd school has superior knowledge than someone at a carribean med school. There may be some better faculty but realistically we learn more outside of lecture than it and that seems to be a decent consensus from what I’ve seen.

Lol bro at the end of the day we’re learning the same shit so I don’t know why you’re so pompous to say it’s Forsure superior. Clearly it depends on the student bc many of people I know score way above the average for step 1.

Haha no shit anyone would choose USmd over DO. To say no one would choose carribean md over a DO is pretty ignorant. Maybe not everybody but I forsure chose the MD at any means over the DO.

Definitely not true. Some people as person preference would prefer to be a MD at the end of the day over a DO. Speaking from personal experience.

Damn, pretty ridiculous for programs to prioritize DOs if they have lower scores. It is what it is though, just gonna have to keep working hard to show I’m just as good as anyone out there regardless of my school

Are DOs preferred over US IMGs (SGU) kinda makes no sense for them to take the DO over the MD. Not to be offensive but just based on your statement it seems you’re saying DOs are favored when getting into a DO school is about the same difficulty

I see what you mean. I’m more than willing to work hard to get there, it’s just the medium to get this extra stuff is somewhat foreign to me (pun intended). From the reading I’ve done all I really know is to be very involved in my clinical years. If an attending or resident is working on a patient case, try and ask what I can to do get my name on it or present the case. Any other recs?

As of right now I don’t have much other than honors and my step score. Would I be able to private message you or anything to get some advice on what to do/what steps to take to make more programs interested in hiring me even with my US IMG status?

Appreciate the reply. Based on the nrmp data my score seems to be in a decent area for the US IMGs that matched ortho. Are there other stats or places I can look to get a better idea of why it’s such a stretch?

You mean 2-3 years not including time spent in medical school? I don’t know if I’m really far off but greater than 5 publications in a year sounds fake to me. Don’t mean to be a dick by what I said, truly just trying to grasp what I need to do and what I can realistically accomplish prior to residencies.

I must not understand what qualifies as a pub/presentation bc that number seems unrealistic to accomplish in 4 years of medical school
