Second year med student here. Literally involved in no ECs, did very little research this summer... need to beef up my experiences. There is a middle school not far from my apt. Is it too “undergrad-ish” to volunteer tutor middle school kids? I did it during my gap year, and med school admission...

I applied for neuro a few weeks ago and got one interview call. Today, I received an email from a director at a hospital I applied to pointing out that I messed up the city in my address - I wrote '(city in Florida), CA'. The city is my hometown, and I currently live in CA. I don't know how I...

Hi everyone, M2 here and starting to think about what type of career I want to have in medicine. For DOs that have successfully matched to Diagnostic Rads is there any advice that you can offer? I know that I will need a Step 1 in the 240s. Is research an absolute requirement? My school does...

I'm looking for advice regarding applying to a specialty with less than 5 sites. For instance, psych and neuro have only 2 sites, respectively, but we need to rank 5 locations. The question of what to do with the other 3 spots is complicated by the rumor I have heard that if you rank something...

Just a college freshman with a question: Why is it hard (low chance) for foreign med school students to match into anesthesiology, dermatology, radiology...etc in the U.S? If a U.S student and foreign student both get a good USMLE score, who would match into those competitive residencies? Isn’t...

Hi all, this may be extremely pre-mature of me but I tend to worry a bunch. I am a first year and have finished the first rounds of exams in my classes and I am currently at a C+/B range for all my classes. I've picked out a few clubs I want to join but don't have any leadership positions...

Hi, I am a non-US IMG who initially planned to apply for 2019. Currently I just have my Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores at hand. The scores are respectively 272 and 271. Due to unforeseeable circumstances, I had to postpone my Step 2 CS examination and am currently planning to appear for it in the...

I am an FMG. I graduated first week of July 2018. My internship doesn't start until December or maybe even February depending on the placement. That's how it is in my country. So now I'll have a good 5-7 months gap in my CV. Is this considered a gap for US residency program directors? Since I...

I'm a D3 and starting to look into externships for OMFS. I've read countless threads and done my own research and on 4 vs 6 year programs and I've decided that given my currently family situation, age, and where and how I plan to practice, a 4 year program is the route I want to take. My...

Hi I’m a dental student now. I am married with a small family right now. Does anyone know how competitive it is to get into Perio? I am probably ranked right in the middle of my class. I’d like to know how competitive it is and also how much more competitve are the programs that are free or...

Hi everyone, I'm at a great clinical ophtho program though very unhappy w/ my PD's lack of involvement. Everyone says he/she is busy but with what? Never see them in our clinics staffing w/ residents. Mostly sees private pts if/when seeing patients at all. Doesn't staff more than a handful of...

Hello Guys, I matched this year but my visa underwent administrative processing. It's still pending but the program couldn't afford to wait for me. They requested a waiver from NRMP one month only after the Residency start date. The waiver is granted and they released me. Its really hard for...

Hi, I'm considering possibly doing a neuro residency once I complete my DPT. This is just a thought for now, and I am still in the 2nd year of my program so I have more time to think about it, but I just wanted to hear from some people who have completed residencies or who have considered it...

Hello, I will be applying to medical schools next cycle and am currently debating whether or not I want to apply for the HPSP scholarship. I genuinely believe I would enjoy being in a military environment so my decision to apply isn't based solely on monetary needs. My primary concern of whether...

1. How would medical schools view an applicant (in regards to first time applicant, re applicant, and future medical student looking to match) that decided to withdraw their application before going to the II? 2. If I received an acceptance at my state school early this winter and decided this...

Hello Everyone, I received my usmle score today and am blown away with disappointment. I am an third year medical student. I was okay with my comlex score, however, before taking USMLE I was scoring at a 250 on NBMEs, with my baseline being a 230. I scored a 252 on NBME 18 a week before step. I...
