I am just curious, how different do you think your prospects would be if you scored say a 235 (still substantially below avg for what you're applying for) instead of your low 220's?

Substantially better. Again, I don't expect to match. I expect to be depressed and alone at the end of this thing. Hopefully God has mercy on me.

It is customary to grant interviews to people who do away rotations and home program applicants.

Yea, definitely true for home programs; however, all the places that I did aways actually made it a point that they do not auto interview away rotators. There are some programs in ENT that do, but I would guess more do not give auto interviews. Sorry, I'm not trying to argue or anything like that, I just don't want people having wrong information with regards to interviews from aways as well as failed's posts. Sure, getting a lower step score will make things an uphill climb, but it is not always an end. I personally know multiple residents at my program who had step scores around the same as him or worse who ended up going on plenty of interviews and matched at a well regarded program. I think its entertaining and all, but I don't want someone who is thinking of doing ENT seeing his posts and assuming that they are the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

I gave up on him a while ago too. I have a friend who believed god would carry them through Step 1 and they failed step 1. They had a rough period, recovered and now doesn't believe in god anymore either.

You can't actually be going into this cycle blind with a 222. My theory is that you're hard core trolling everyone and you already know that your home program and/or an away program that you rotated at has your back and will take you. I think you're trying to make it seem like a miracle/against all odds story, so that when you inevitably match at a program you already knew were going to match at, you can come here and post about it. That's my theory.

I was thinking this exact thing.


Unless @failedatlife dual applied.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I'm an worthless POS who can't pass a test. Yes, others who did much better than me on that test deserve to be otolaryngoligists more than I do. Yes, I have more baggage than Kim K and am more of a liability to a program than Kayne at an award show.

...But I tried my best. And I'm going to try to match (even if I look like a clown to every person who reads my application, if it doesn't get screened). If I don't match, then I don't match. Who knows what will become of me?? I don't deserve it, but I made it this far. The only thing I believe is that God has a plan for everyone. I may be useless to the medical field because I can't take standardized tests, but I'll be useful to someone, somewhere on this earth. I truly believe that.

So yes, you're absolutely right. I'm blind, stupid, ignorant, anything else you want to call me. Trust me I feel worse about myself than anything you can ever call me. Getting rejected by every program will just be confirmation on top of how I feel I performed as a medical student. There is no forgiveness for the mess I created, but I wanted to give it a try...

If anyone else wants to post in here, I promise I will provide a supportive reply, as that is what I meant this thread to be for in the first place.

I genuinely commend you on the most ridiculous multi-year trolling endeavor known to man. It takes serious intelligence, skill, and devotion to pull off something as clever as this. I'm sure in reality you have a 260+ and come on SDN to kill time for fun as you wait for match day. Bravo, you've become one of the most hysterical and well known members on SDN.

I think he's just in it for the lulz
 
Didn't dual apply. Not in it for the lulz. Doing it because I want to be an ENT someday. Some part of me likes to think that there is more to an individual than a test score. I have a lot more on my resume than a bad test score.

Haha I got that...I just haven't read enough of the OP's posts to assess whether he's a deeply, deeply disturbed individual or just a very dedicated troll.
 
so failed... hows it going?
 
Keep ur head up homie. idgaf if you're even trolling or anything but you would definitely be a character on always sunny.

You're like rickety cricket after he leaves the clergy and becomes homeless.

Since this has already been bumped, I just cant help but ask - why ENT? And don't give me the BS interview answer. Seriously dude, what it is about ENT that makes it so much better than any other sub-specialty in surgery?
