I have been reading SDN and asking questions about matching into Radiology. The general answer I get about match chances is " A passing Step score and a pulse" are all that is needed to match Radiology. Yet the Step 1 average is 240. On Charting outcomes I also see that a score greater than 220...

Hi everyone! I could use some advice regarding pregnancy and Step 1. I am currently a second year MD/PhD student. I am planning on taking Step 1 between mid-June/early-July before starting graduate school in September. My husband and I want to have all of our children before I'm ~32 (I'm...

Hello, first-time poster sorry in advance....I failed my step one (185) and now to avoid getting kicked out of my house my parents are forcing me to attend an onsite course. I read through the forms some pro's and con's for the aforementioned programs but nothing seemed very up-to-date. Please...

Hello, I wanted to match into a decent academic radiology program in the southeast. For some reason i cannot hack the honors/240 barrier. Hopelessly mediocre yet stressing and studying like I should be doing much better. Do I have a good shot at matching in Radiology with these average stats and...

I have no interest in OB/GYN or Surgery but my step 1 score is 205 and i'm an usimg so FM seems to be my only choice if I spend 2yrs building my cv but like i said above i have no interest in those two fields, so is FM a good choice at all?

I got a 205 in step 1 What are my chances for family medicine residency matching? i know there are a lot of other factors going on, but even to get an interview.. does my step 1 score hurt me?

I'm an IMG that scored 205 on step 1 I'm at a crossroads on whether to continue with step 2 or just pick another career option I don't want to waste time if there is no chance for me to match next year.. What are the chances of me matching into Family, Internal, or Neuro with this score? And...

Ill start off by saying that I am applying to internal medicine and my step 1 score is fairly low. I am looking for a way to search residency programs based off of step cut offs or even average step scores, so I do not waste my money applying to programs that I won't get into. If anyone has a...

Unfortunately I scored much lower than expected. Thought Id atleast hit 240s based on all my practice scores. Do I need research to make up for the lackluster step score? or will doing well in grades and step 2 be enough to match a mid- low tier DR program? By the way I am an MD at a top 50 school

Not sure if there's a demand for this but I have a UWorld self-assessment I never used from my step 1 studying. It hasn't expired yet so if someone wants it, I'd be happy to pass it along somehow.

Is it possible? How is the program in terms of competitiveness? What would you guys recommend to have a high chance of matching there?

Hi all, Haven't posted since my premed days but I recently have gotten my board scores back 240 step 1 and 621 comlex. I honestly don't know what a good comlex score is though. If anyone can provide some guidance on that please feel free to respond! As for my main reason for posting, I am NY...
