Not without a USMLE it doesn't.
Lol at all of you in here crapping on this thread. The instant I read the OP it was obvious that OP is simply happy for their friend. No one is basing residency decisions off of a thread like this yet you all are strolling in here to **** post. You don't like it? Well thats too bad. If it bothers you, then GTFO and grow up. No one cares if you like it.
This thread isn't even close to virtue signaling so nice straw man.
Lol just a month ago there was a thread where a poster in this thread and one other person tried to rail against me for 2 pages when I simply told the OP of that thread (who had a 240+ on both Steps) to go talk to actual DO residents in GS about their experience because SDN wasn't going to give them good advice. According to them it was "extremely difficult" and "not a good chance" and there were other comments like "why are you glassing over the difficulty of DOs matching in surgery" and a bunch of other personal attacks, simply because I told someone to go talk to actual residents. That was literally my only advice I gave. One of those people is now in this thread acting like matching ACGME GS is cake. So... yeah someone matching ACGME surgery with simply COMLEX is something that is interesting, as it is in direct contradiction to the population of SDN who act like you need a 260, 10 pubs, and major residency connections to simply not do primary care. Everyone here obviously knows that this is still an outlier and not something anyone should expect, but its still a nice story to hear. DO students should be hopeful that their work will be rewarded if they put in the requisite amount of effort. But, it's nice to know though that there are people who aren't in medical school yet who clearly have the bull by the horns and will carry on the SDN torch of crapping on other people's accomplishments in the name of "we can't be misleading desperate people" and trying to make sure that people don't have hope because DOs should never have hope.
Someone could match neurosurgery at John's Hopkins from ICOM and there are people in this thread who would be ready with their, "yeah but...." statements 2 minutes after it was posted.
