Thanks for doing this! What should we be aiming for on cbse? Also any tips on being a good extern?
CBSE is still kind of an unknown. I know many people who matched with scores anywhere from 40s-70s. As for externing, be polite and professional. Ask questions when appropriate, and if you are ever asked to help with something and don’t know how, tell them you don’t know how. Don’t just try and figure it out on your own.
Is this based off of the "old" scores with the conversion or the EPCs?
EPCs since most applicants took it after EPC became the new scoring system
Check the ADEA PASS website under the individual programs tab. Each school seems to do it a bit differently
could you let us know what you've found out!
If you registered through ASDA to take the CBSE you should have checked for it to be sent automatically to all of the programs

It was a two week hands on rotation at the university of Utah. Full time in the OR with medical attendings. It’s for medical students but they let the dental students come do it if they wantHi! I have a questionCould you explain what the anesthesia clerkship you did was and where you completed it at?
Uworld, pathoma, first aid, sketchy videos. Uworld is the most helpful. Reading explanations and referencing the explanations in first aid and pathoma
does anyone know if all interview emails are sent out at once by a particular program or do they send them out in waves?
I believe they usually come in waves, most should come in the next week or two. Sometimes phone call, sometimes just emails
NYU sent invites last week
Do they send all their invites all at once, or would they send another batch?
Do you know when they were sent?
I do not but the director emailed me saying they were released already.
And I guess Ohio sent theirs on Monday... that might be all folks!

That's so interesting. Wasn't advocate illinois one of the first programs to require it?Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center - ADEA PASS® Program
St. Barnabas Hospital - ADEA PASS® Program
No they’ve never required it as far as I’m aware
Would I be able to send you a private message to get some information about this and how to attend?
Sure
. I know CBSE is required for some schools and not others, is this being discussed more in depth regarding scores weight on the overall application?
Take the CBSE, a majority of the programs require it. Yeah it sucks, but why limit yourself when there are already so few spots. It’s also not weighted super heavily unlike omfs. Many applicants scored in the 30-40% range and matched at their top programs.I am also applying next cycle and would love to hear feedback for interview tips, application tips, etc
Thank you

Sent you a DM! Thanks
A 30-40% is enough to apply? I actually deferred applying because I thought I scored too low...
I think you should apply. CBSE is very difficult exam, and I think since DA programs are transitioning towards it, they are still flexible with the scores. Externships are very important in DA.
