Hello,
I got a pass in Medicine, barely passed the shelf. Pass in Psychiatry. High pass in Neuro. Pass in Primary Care. I have never got above 42nd percentile on a shelf. It has been difficult for me to sit down and do uworld questions every day. I take longer than most people because I know less and get distracted, and the knowledge gap issue compounds daily. I have not taken Step 1 or 2 yet. I had a 99th pct MCAT so I was once able to do this, but the rate of med school has been difficult to handle.
Obviously competitive residencies are out. What is still in the cards? Are there any surgical routes still open for me? I want to turn this around obviously, but like optho ortho derm are long gone imo, which is sad.
I don' t know what to do. Literally thinking about getting a script for adderall as my best option.
