RaNda MarZouk and her Husband MATCH 2019

We -Me and my Husband- couple matched at University of Central Florida/Ocala -Internal Medicine..

Since we first started the USMLE journey, all people were telling us what are you going to do if you end up being apart!!!
We have heard a lot of words and we have been faithful in this verse

"We do not know what to do , but our eyes are upon you"

1- everyone told us couple matching is very hard specially for international graduates.

2-how many interviews will you get as an international graduate separate applicant?

3-what are the odds that of these interviews you will have one or two common ones?

4 - and even if, how many of these the committee will like both of you together and choose both of you??

5 - and when it comes to the rank list, what are the odds that the programs will rank you close to each other, and it will not end up one taken and one not and you both will loose all the chances?!

6 - Most of the evidence and examples before you
They ended up one matched one not or both did not or matched to their last choices !!

7- and the most important thing that couple matching is kind of vague and no too much information is available over there about it.

But God is honest and just looks at hardship! Not to the algorithms !!
I say these words now ! Because I want to remind you all that God does not know impossible and calculations, you just have to work hard and always do your prt and he will complete the work!

Congratulations to those who matched out there 🎉🎉🎉 and those who didn’t have faith and keep going whatever your odds are !

I started my dedicated preparation for Step 2 CK during my internship, and the total duration was around 15 months.

Step 1-238

Hello guys, I want to share my experience as a gratitude for all the people that shared their step 1 journey before .For me all the stories posted in this group gave me strength to continue and became my guidelines in a process from I didn’t know anything about. Started with Kaplan lecture notes except for pathology. Then I watched all Kaplan 2014 videos except for pathology. Then I did Pathoma and gave my first FA read along with DIT videos, it made it easier to digest the book. Then I solved Usmle Rx and jumped straight to Uworld , first pass timed random mode score 62 % and after that I made it second time 85%. I felt confident with the knowledge I had but not with my test taking skills because I made online nbme 15 with a score of 213 and a lot of silly mistakes so I decided to do Kaplan qbank timed random mode( score 77%). I felt is very strong in anatomy and physiology concepts. After that I started to make more nbmes and I realize that my weakness was test taking skill...
