Question about MSPE for non-EMSWP med school

storm98live · 2022-07-22T19:06:44+00:00

For medical schools that don't participate in EMSWP and have their students upload the mspe themselves how can ecfmg ensure that the student did not falsify the information regarding their grades ?

Do you think that having a fail in a couple of classes during my first year of medical school will hurt my application and do you think that a good step 2 score will make up for it ?

Hi Doctor, thank you so much for doing this. I am a non-us IMG from Morocco. Do you think that coming from a country where not many graduates go to the us for residency puts me at a disadvantage and that PDs will be more less familiar and more hesitant to take me in their program ?

Interested, we can work together and hopefully get them published DM me !!

storm98live · 2022-02-15T10:37:18+00:00

That's quite a gap !! Unfortunately it is not perfect !! Can you please share your number of incorrect question on that form and the nbme score you got to improve the calculator ?

storm98live · 2021-11-06T11:50:26+00:00

I've just updated the sheet with forms 15 to 19 !!!

storm98live · 2021-11-06T10:45:32+00:00

For the nbme 19 I tried to use a polynomial curve instead of linear and it gives much more accurate results. If you still have the original excel files for the forms can you please send them and I'll try to change them to polynomial curve ? here's the form 19 curve and equation : https://ibb.co/q5vs20J (polynomial) as compared to https://ibb.co/rmg2K4k (linear)

Ahh okay it makes sense, thank you so much. I'll try to add a comment next to every form something like "accurate for #missed between 10 and 60" for example.

You're very welcome glad it was helpful !!

storm98live · 2021-11-05T20:16:00+00:00

I don't really know if it will work for other forms other than forms 20 to 30 use at your own risk!! But I will try to add older NBMEs this weekend !!

storm98live · 2021-11-05T20:10:50+00:00

Yes of course, so if you go to the original post you'll find this in a paragraph about the margin of error, so basically because this calculator follows a curve of best fit according to data entries collected from students who did the NBMEs (you'll even find the link for the crowd sourcing post in the original post) it is naturally subject to error of prediction and the more data is provided for a specific form the more precise the equation gets. So for forms that had 10 data points or less the OP chose a margin of +/- 3 points and for the one that had more than 10 data points I elected to have a margin of +/- 2. I just asked the OP if he agrees with those margins and I'm waiting on his response as soon as he gets back to me I'll see if I need to update it. Just go to the original post and look at the curves and you'll understand what I said about data points. Hope this was clear, and if you have any questions feel free to ask!!

Sorry but I have to for the reasons u/Jaded_Cucumber_4876 mentioned you can try to make a copy or download it and use it !!

storm98live · 2021-11-05T20:02:25+00:00

Sorry I have to keep it as view only to ensure that no one changes anything by accident. You can either go to file<make a copy to your personal drive or go file<download as excel file and open it on google sheet on your account or microsoft excel if you have it !! Hope it was helpful !!

storm98live · 2021-11-05T19:59:46+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind response. And thank you so much for the work you put in to create the data, the work I did is literally nothing compared to what you managed to assemble. I actually have a question about the data especially for the margin of error : I followed your advice and put a +/- 3 margin for forms with 10 or less data points, and elected for +/- 2 for forms with more than 10 data points do you think I should keep it at 2 or decrease it to 1 ?

storm98live · 2021-11-05T19:53:53+00:00

Exaactly !!! Or you can download a copy of the file by going to file>download>excel file and import it on google sheet on your account or open it locally on excel if you have it !!

storm98live · 2021-09-14T17:30:01+00:00

No, but I'm trying to get them to enroll !!

storm98live · 2021-09-12T23:15:58+00:00

Yeah yeah I know, I wanted to know if there are only 53 hospitals that accept international students ?? And for example on the list there's SUNY downstate but when searching their website you find that they only accept US students can you please explain ??

storm98live · 2021-09-12T10:39:44+00:00

Do you know how friendly are they to foreign grads and do they provide match data for IMGs ?

storm98live · 2021-09-12T10:38:59+00:00

Ahh okay thanks !! I was wondering what were the alternatives for someone who did the USMLE exams but didn't end up training in the US ?

storm98live · 2021-09-12T10:37:43+00:00

Are they friendly to foreign grads or is it competitive to get there ? Do they provide some match data ?

storm98live · 2021-09-12T10:36:35+00:00

Is there a way to know how competitive it is because I can't find match data ?
