Hi I agree with Roja. This does not need to be in your PS. I took a leave when I was first accepted for med school. I returned from the year off, did well in school, applied for EM, was fortunate to get plenty of interviews and matched at my top choice. I was asked about my year off at maybe...

AMEN! I am not a resident...yet...but I can honestly tell you that I HATE my ambulatory month! Its just so freaking boring...and time just doesn't pass in clinic. I'm glad others feel this way too...As important as post-hospital admit f/u and lipid checks are...they just don't turn me on!:sleep:

yeah...that's what I did too...:( did we screw-up?!?!?...help people!!!!!!:scared:

Since ERAS doesn't get submmitted until Sept 1....will my score by reported as it will already be in?? I have selcted the "No" option to retransmission..will...

Hi guys! I'm planning to taking 2CK at the end of July....I have both B/W and Secrets. I also liked Step Up to Medicine for my IM rotations....thought it helped for the shelf...so I may be reading that a bit too ....My question is what do I need for phram review. None of the above resources...

Just bumping this up as I too would really like an anwer to this question.

Congrats to all accepted to MCW! Its a great school and you'll get a good education here. :) If you're waitlisted, let them know how badly you'd like to attend. I think its too early to find out your rank...but the list does move a lot...so don't give up on it. Maple

Exactly what I was thinking.... I'm sorry your experience has been so tough Persia...keep at it..it has to get better. If you stick it out, they will have to acknowledge you. :thumbup: good luck! Maple

No reason to hide it and if you get an interview, it will be obvious anyway....It really doesn't matter whether or not you disclose and they don't care either which is why its optional. If you have a solid application, just complete your apps, cross your fingers and wait. It'll work out! :)

At MCW we have note packets which we buy at the beginning of school year. Some are very complete and you can add more stuff during lecture...others are more bare, and you have to take good notes. We also have a student run notes service, where the day's lecture is essentially transcribed. All in...

...only until you guys begin med school...then you will go weeks *gasp* without even thinking about SDN! :laugh: have fun til then! :thumbup:

Pick Tulane....Better school+ better reputation= may help out in the future. May sound jaded, but if you get into a better ranking/reputed school with a good program, then you should pick it! Maximize your chances come residency/match time. good luck!
