I recently finished 2nd year but did not pass Step 1 due to lack of motivation and inadequate prep. So currently, I'm considering three possibilities (kind of raked in the order of interest):
Transfer my credits to a Masters in Basic Medical Sciences and complete a Capstone project that could...
Hello!
I am an incoming OMS-1 who is leaning heavily towards PM&R. I am starting med school soon and could use some wisdom as my biggest fear is going unmatched, so I am trying to get a head start on this. I am attending MSUCOM which has it's own AOA recognized PM&R program and a lot of...
Just started studying for step 3 and hoping to take it by end of the month since I'm on a relatively easy rotation in my residency program. Based on my past step scores (264 step 1, 275 step 2), how long do I realistically need to study for step 3? My thought was to spend most of my prep time...
Hey everyone!
So I just took NBME 20 last week (provided by my school) and I was pleasantly surprised by my grade (215). The reason I was surprised is that I have done virtually no review to date, although I have taken every block very seriously so far, scoring in the top 10 percent or of my...

There has been a lot of discussion on this board concerning the trick to find out if you passed exam prior to the release of the score report. Could people please post experience with the presence of a link to a new application and its association with a subsequent failure once the score Report...
Did anyone have a bad CCS experience and still pass? It would help me a lot to know that other people had issues solving multiple cases and maybe ran out of time. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi, I was really nervous about the match so I wanted some feedback on my current application status.
I'm a U.S. MD grad applying for psychiatry.
Failed step 1 and did much better the second time with an average score.
Step 2 CS and CK pending (I know I have to work hard on this)
Otherwise...
if cases end early but it doesn't say the patient is getting better but say a patient was scheduled for surgery and the program says that and ends the case, is that a good sign?
If you run out of time on the case before the patient can improve but you put in the correct treatment regimen before...
Army HPSP MS3 thinking internal medicine. Unfortunately, I struggled more than I would have liked my first two years of medical school, and hesitated to get involved in research. If it makes any difference, I served as a student leader for two student groups and I should be able to present an...

Hello all.
I’m a medical student that strives to take the best quality notes. Thus, I have decided to share them with others beyond my classmates. I have compiled my notes from the respiratory/pulmonary unit into four ebooks. For the next couple of days (until Monday 9/13), my ebooks will be...
Hi!
I am interested in psychiatry residency and would like to match in California, where I am from. I am wondering, with my step score of 227 (a little above the average psych step score....I think average was 224 according the charting the outcomes), and someone being from an allopathic U.S...
Hey you guys I'm 12 days out from my exam and I'm trying to figure out whether it would be worth it to take the Kaplan Free 150 diagnostic test or the one DIT put out, or if it is a waste of time.
I'm doing NBME 19 tomorrow even though I know I'll probably be disappointed in the score because of...

Hi!
I was just wondering if a step 1 score of 227 was a "good enough" score to be obtain a surgical residency at university programs (or at least an interview...). I was a disappointed in my score, but it is what it is and life goes on!
Any suggestions on how to strengthen my application as I...

I ordered a USMLE step 1 book and browsed through it. I realized that the MCAT tests almost everything in the USMLE step 1. I always hear how the MCAT is not representative of medical school; however, it seems that the MCAT is pretty much the same. The only difference, is that there are a few...
