Meeeee! It was pretty crazy to be standing in an OR at Harvard of all places and to realize who I was standing next to of all people. And now looking forward to a year of fellowship fun together :meanie: People I knew back on SDN in the Lounge are now married and have SDN babies together. Now...

Maybe I missed it in one of the posts, but take Step 2 early and kill it. And have very strong rotations at well picked locations and you will have a great chance of matching. med students at my residency do it every year with step 1 scores less than yours.

I just searched FRIEDA and it has no program listed, here is the link to search all neurosurgery programs: http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/ there are 2 in Houston. 1 at Baylor, 1 at Methodist looks like they may be working on one...

yeah, we had 12 of 14 match in ortho. several of those guys could have gone anywhere, but had reasons to be elsewhere. people like me were just happy to match. :) Right now there are 15 people applying to ortho next yr. I assume you are referring to neurosurgery....we don't have our own...

well, in hindsight I should have been smart enough to change the web page address from the list last yr from a 6 to 7. :D haha student affairs! (in all reality they are super nice and lifesavers for all the 'drama' of applying for residency) countdown to MD <3 months!!!

typical, I find my school's match list on SDN, not the school website. I checked, the 'final' version will most likely be posted on out website on Monday.

just make sure you have all the dates for each shot. when you apply for away rotations in your 4th yr and get ready for residency you will need all that info again, but not an actual shot record.

Welcome to H-town!!!! Conrats!!!

Just thought I'd bump this old classic for the applying class of 2007 from the applying class of 2003, its good for more than a few laughs. Seems like just yesterday I was stressing about getting in to med school, now I'm stressing about residency....

I think a great book people have failed to mention is NMS Surgery Casebook. I went through this about 3 times and while it is not all you need, it does a great job and keeps things super simple in a quick read. I also skimmed (literally) through both BRS books, did some PreTest, and used Mont...

ahhhh! I start in a week and was already dreading it. why can't I be in the class behind me which will only get 6wks of ob/gyn instead of the 8wks I have to live through?!?!?!

don't believe the hype, there is plenty of time to have a life (in fact, a lot of people at our school seem to take up training for marathons for some reason.) things most likely will be harder than college and those of your friends not in medical school will never totally be able to understand...

and to the question about research....I think that is correct that you can't participate in the summer program if you have a masters. however, to get involved in research all you have to do is go find a lab to work in by putting yourself out there. I ended up working for a couple extra months in...

First, welcome everyone to UTH!!! Congrats!!! ohhh, my dad's family grew up in Bismarck! as for someone asking about the metrorail, I know people who live at the greenbriar tend to be woken at all hours of the night by its horn. don't get an apartment right on the side of the rail wherever...

just an FYI, but I think the only pharm question I had was making sure to add an ACE inhibitor to the regimen the patient already had for either diabetes or heart issues, can't remember which one. don't waste too much time on pharm. there is another recent thread with really good advice in...
