God I hope they're interviewing in their parents house and the parents are doctors lol. I would physically cringe looking at that.
Ned students are the clingiest out there haha between a mix of never being in the real world and being in a prestigious (?) field really inflates the ego
That's because people don't realize doctors are just stubborn people who went through a lot of training. The cross section of doctors probably has the same if not more problematic people in it than general society. They just hide it better and the system selects for some of these traits. They only come out as negatives at BBQs and stuff so no one notices normally.
If an IMG put it in Cyrillic I’d be impressed
With Zoom interviews, its crazy how little effort you need to present yourself and your background neatly. I wear white shirt with un-ironed sleeves (but covered by my suit jacket), shorts and/or PJs (not visible on camera obviously), tie that is too short sometimes (but not for the camera), suit that wont button for the life of me (but who cares cause it remains unbuttoned when I sit down). My foreground is untidy but my background is plain and neat. Even if I roll out of bed a few minutes before the interview, I wash my face and tidy my hair, cause that is showing up on camera.
I have a pretty strong sweater vest game, thank you very much.
If you are doing 2 blocks a day, I would do 1 block of medicine and 1 block mix. Make sure you finish all of the ethics and biostats questions, and review biostats from FA Step 1. Take UWorld Sim 2 around 1 week before the test.
Dude same haha. My guitars are mounted and always a talking point but not applying IM either. I thought this was about me for a sec haha.
And you we're freaking out earlier 😉
Congrats girly!!!!!!!!! so happy for you😍
Currently, 26/339 people on a reddit poll answered yes to: "Fellow MS4s, have any of you been asked to stand during an interview to confirm that you are wearing pants?"
This is hilarious but awful at the same time. I can't imagine what the PD was thinking when they made that subject line. Absolutely no mercy.
Wow. I always say it’s better to be rejected than straight ghosted. But no, this is worse.
EM. Yeah I've seen a couple of people put up guitars....which I think is more interesting than a potted plant or a national parks poster (seen at least 6 of those so far)
Wow, that's a rude alternative way of saying "f*** you".
I seem to remember for med school, one school sent me an email saying, "Please log into our portal for the result of your application." Yup, they made me log in just to see that I'd been rejected. That also felt like a dick move.
That feels like a lot of work..
I looked at it for sure. Sometimes to look for “safeties”. Sometimes to look for red flags. The thing is, my core site program really isn’t that bad. But they SOAP close to half I think. For them, I think the problem is they’re trying to date above themselves. Like a 4 saying you have to be a 7+ to go on a date with them. And yeah maybe the 7s/8s take you on a date, but in the end they don’t marry you because they have other better options from other 7s and 8s. Meanwhile, another core site I interviewed with, in the same corporation, but malignant program with scutwork and going over duty hours, always fills 100% with not a single American grad on their roster (no offense meant towards any IMG/FMGs. You can be amazing individuals but it’s well known that matching in general is more difficult for you.)
Yes! I was just typing out my reply and this is definitely the case at my core site program. Decent enough Community program that won’t consider “low tier applicants.”
For me, quick and dirty evaluation looks like this: If a larger program in a big city doesn't fill, I'm assuming malignant. If a smaller program in a very rural area doesn't fill, I assume its due to location.
i know this wasn't the point of this post ... but omg i'm a 4 married to a 10 lol.
As it turns out.. 3/6 of my PGY-3 class had to SOAP into our program, but it is the farthest thing from malignant.
No no no. Positive feelings only. You’re a 10, married to a 10.
Good for you! game must run in the family?
Another big aspect is some of these programs demand that you've auditioned/rotated at the program before they will give you a real shot.
it's all about PERSONALITY and having cute cats
I don't think any non-competitve specialties like IM,FM are requiring things like that. My colleagues in surgical specialties may argue there is a requirement, i'm not sure.
