Harsh Patel---Match tips--- MOST IMPORTANT

2. Getting email addresses B. How to get email addresses of PDs and Associate PDs, Chief Residents and even Coordinators First of all, I emailed PDs, APDs as well as the Chief Residents during the interview season to see if they can review my application for an interview. It might not work everytime but atleast from my experience I would say it works more often than not (atleast one of them PD/APD or Chief will review it- will give true examples at the end of this post) One more thing to note is most residency coordinator emails listed on ERAS are the ones that the programs have created specifically for residency and most of them are not even opened and looked at lol. So you will need the coordinator's routine working emails to actually reach them which most of the times is not there on ERAS. I dont know how others used to get them but this is how I found out something which might be the easier way to get around this! - Google 1.'Program Search ACGME-' 2...

USMLE Step1 Score: 250

Finally Got my result  😊 😊 😊 So I thought to share my experience. May be it can help somebody. First of all, what worked for me may not work for you. Like any advice you read on the internet, absorb what you feel is good information and ignore the rest. Nobody is infallible. There are multiple routes to success. I would go as far to say that UWorld is the only resource you absolutely cannot do without. USMLE Step1 Score: 250 Begining: I started my preperation with Kaplan Lecture notes + videos. I did Kaplan for Physiology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Anatomy and BS . For Pathology I used Pathoma and FA. For Microbiology only FA and UW. As soon as I finished Kaplan once, I had a quick read of First Aid and started Uworld Online. Iam a very very very slow reader it took me 5 months to complete Uworld Once for all. So remember this thing that every person has it's own speed of getting things so don't panic even if u do less UW questions in a day, how much yo...

Beryl Kalul-- MATCH 2019

Matched into FM with low scores and attempts. I am sharing my experience in hopes it may help/encourage some of you going through the same experience as I did. Step 1: 204 (2nd attempt) 2014 Step 2: 225 (1st attempt) 2015 Step 2CS pass (1st attempt) 2015 Step 3: 205 (2nd attempt) 2017 YOG: 2013 and Green Card Holder Matched: 2018 to FM This is my 4th time applying, and I finally got it. First time I applied I had only 2 LORs from private clinic doctors, 2nd time I applied I had 7 LOR from mostly internal and one from FM and no Step 3. 3rd time applying I had step 3 and several LOR, one even from a PD.  I think what helped me the most was connections. I knew I had low scores and attempts, and it felt next to impossible to get matched. Most of the people in residency I talked to said that my chances were extremely low. I went to 2 big conferences, the AAFP national conference in Kansas City MO that happens every year in July and the FMEC that happens around November every year. I...
