ms4

I am currently an MS4 at a mid to low tier US MD program. This past year I applied into ortho and did not match. I decided to pursue IM-->Cards as I had been considering this in the past. The SOAP options were terrible so after discussing with mentors and advisors, I decided to reapply this fall...

Note: I have mod approval for this post per @GoSpursGo I just released RateMyProfessor for med student rotations at www.rotationsinfo.com. We have a bunch of data for anything about rotations (housing, meals, best attending, etc). It's mainly meant for helping choose away rotations, but we...

helpful advice, thank you both!!

Hey yall, rising MS4 here applying to a top 3 competitive specialty. I am currently studying for step 2 and need to extend my dedicated period by 4-6 weeks. My advisors have suggested that I use vacation time for this, but I am nervous this would reflect poorly on my transcript? They assured me...

I just passed my last Shelf exam for clerkships and I'll be taking Step 1 in May as well as sitting for Step 2 a few months later. I'm also debating taking Step 3 before I start my intern year. I've been feeling anxious about being prepared for Intern year. What are some tips or advice for how...

TL;DR I'm not sure if I'm feeling cold feet towards a specialty I had always enjoyed or if my body is telling me I should pursue a different path. Hello internet! I am a 4th year MD student that could use some help. We are getting close to residency applications, and I'm feeling a lot of...

We are looking for MS4s from US medical schools to participate in an IRB-approved nationwide study on how different operational designs may affect the speed and quality of patient care delivery. We would greatly appreciate your participation in our anonymous survey, which we expect will take...

Hi everyone! I'm an IMG (from one of the top 5 Caribbean schools) about to finish my 3rd year in August. I won't be applying for the match this year as I want to be able to apply with a complete application (I wouldn't have my CK scores in and I probably wouldn't have even taken CS by the time...

Hey guys! If you're in the midst of the application cycle for this year, it's a very exciting time for you! I thought I'd go ahead and throw down some unsolicited advice that might be of help. Your time during the interview season is precious (and so is your money). Some tips: Geographical...

Hey guys! If you're in the midst of the application cycle for this year, it's a very exciting time for you! I thought I'd go ahead and throw down some unsolicited advice that might be of help. I know that med schools are generally recommending more applications and more interviews as psych has...

Just wanted to say what's up to those applying DR this cycle! Since ERAS app has already went out, just wanted to see what kind of programs everyone is applying to and their plan of attack for interviews! Cheers!

TL;DR: Deciding to do a dedicated year of research at MSKCC halfway into my MS4 would be a huge life-changing decision involving geographic relocation and postponing my graduation from med school. It's a decision I would be totally happy with however, if only I knew more about whether or not its...

Hi all. Current MS4 here, plan on applying to general surgery. Currently working on my list of programs to apply to. I go to a school in the south where one of our main hospitals has a patient population where ~85% of the patients speak Spanish (not even an exaggeration). Being that I am not a...

Hey guys, sorry to add to the deluge of MS4 threads, but as ERAS is closing in, I'd like your input about my list of programs. Specifically, I could use help in stratifying these into Reach/Probable/Safety. I'd also like your completely subjective opinions about these programs. My info: Ms4 at...

Hello everyone, I know there's been previous similar threads but considering recent changes in anesthesia, I was hoping for some more 'recent' advice. Apologies for this being long: I am an MS4 who's been involved with the anesthesia dept. since a wee lad. I ran the interest group, done...

I am an MS4 (c/o 2016), and here are the facts I delayed taking my Step 1 after my sophmore year, which subsequently led to me not being able to start 3rd year until November ( my schools rules) I completed 3rd year in November 2015, and was not allowed to participate in the 2015- 2016 match...
