I’m currently finishing my last week of M3, I did very average throughout basic sciences on the island. Currently through my cores I have B+ and the rest A.. just pending my last shelf score.
I have my electives lined up, mostly IM specialties; GI, EM, Med Sub I, ICU, Pulm scheduled so far. I secured a letter from the IM PD of the hospital I did my cores and plan to get the other LOR from my GI and Med subI electives. I have 2 research papers under review, hold 2 exec positions in OBGYN and IM interest groups as some volunteer activities which have plan to build on my resume.
My Step 1 was a Pass and Planning to take Step 2 at the end of April with the goal of a 245 minimum
My goal is to match IM, currently on the fence of applying to Psych, but I’ve been having a lot of anxiety lately. When I talked to the M4s I worked with throughout my cores, getting interviews it felt a bit surreal that this is happening a Ross grad can do it, we can get into residency. I know how silly that sounds, but I bring it up because it made me realize how much doubt I have about getting residency.
The funny thing is I don’t know exactly what advice to ask for, I feel like I’m just going through the motions, writing my personal statement, studying for step, looking up US-IMG friendly programs. But I feel like I’m reaching out and grabbing smoke. If there’s any advice or people you could recommend reaching out to I would appreciate it so much.
