I have not.

3/7 - Virginia Tech 3/8 - Washington University in St. Louis

3/7 - Virginia Tech

My classmates going to Wisconsin are in the same boat as me... I'm assuming others are as well. I actually called the Michigan bureau of professional licensing and they told me that my school can, in fact, send in before I've actually graduated (some states apparently will not allow it) so I'm...

Another update to the saga: Michigan requires a form to be sent to them by the medical school saying that we have or will receive our degree on graduation. I was under the impression that as long as I was expected to graduate, they could complete and mail the form to the state. Now, my...

Yeah, kind of wish that was the case for me lol. Just really don't understand why they'd do a massive month-long system update at almost the worst possible time. It's obviously for more than physician licenses, but... still.

Hi everyone, Thanks for the replies! To further clarify, it is up to us (not the program) to submit our application. It was really unfortunate that I was out of town and came back to find the system down for a month :( I did submit all of the paperwork required apart from the application...

Hey all, M4 getting ready to a general surgery residency in the state of Michigan. I'm currently stressed/wondering about the timeframe for obtaining your initial educational license. The Michigan application system has been down (they're transitioning to a new database or something) and I was...

Hey all, looking for some advice on my letters situation. I had 2 letters uploaded to ERAS before Oct. 1, but my 3rd writer has essentially fallen off the grid after saying she'd be happy to write me a letter back in early August. I've applied to 34 programs, with a mix of academic, hybrid, and...

I'm not sure why they say that on the website. Probably because they don't want hundreds of minor, random letters from people by default. HOWEVER, if you feel that you have a significant update that would affect your application, I would get in contact with Teresa Rickey in the admissions...

Hey gang, current M3 at BSOM who's busy procrastinating studying for a shelf exam. I did admissions committee last year and have conducted a few interviews this year, so feel free to ask any questions (either here or via DM) about admissions, the curriculum (I'm fairly familiar with the new one...

UWorld cumulative: 70% (81st percentile) UWSA 1 (10 days out): 245 NBME 18 (5 days out): 225 Real Step 1: 239 I had a lot of disagreement between my NBME and UWSA correlations to a real score. I should've probably taken another NBME, but $60 for a test with no answer explanations didn't appeal...

I've found that UWorld really wants to you "read into" the stem sometimes and make some assumptions. On NBME 18, I found that I was WAY overthinking some of the questions.... i.e. a stem that sounds like Meckel's diverticulum and looks like Meckel's, but I overthink it based on one thing they...

^^^ Haha you could almost hear the unclenching of sphincters... I was gonna say those numbers are lowwwww. :hungover:

Congrats! Our UWSA and NBME 18s are pretty much dead on, and I'd be perfectly happy with your score haha. Congrats again, must feel great to be done.
