Hi guys ..i have a question ....can a good score in the usmle above 90 compensate a little bit... on multiple attempts....or all what they look at is the multiple attemps..
the idea is to get any residency any where.....i possess GC and USCE yeah some connections
thank you

  #2

one more thing i am thinking to get a masters in molecular biology soon ...do you think this will help


  #3

hi

i 've multiple attempts also,No GC . but i think u have still GOOD chance cuz u have GC. & USCE.


  #4

hi neuroblastoma thank you for encouraging me ...the problem is i always got 71 72 73 i do not know here the problem was i think more questions i need to do and probably more dedication
i am gonna pass it just to see if i can do it ...and later on we will see if i stand a chance what i am really counting on is some good connection


  #5

Some programs just look at the facet of multiple attemts and do not care of final results. i got rejected this year form 4 programs just because of sole fact that I passed my Step 1 from second attempt (everything else with first) - they wrote me that directly...

So, maybe most of the program are looking more carefully, but there are definetely some that just filter candidates trhough very strict requirements.

hi beefoxy ..can someone check if the program will accept people with many attempts or not ......for how many program can the applicant apply...and in the end did you heard of someone with many attempts got a residency or not

  #7

Actually I know some with multiple attemps in residency now. It's not a death sentence, but it's more difficult than first attempt.
Good luck!

  #8

yes, you can check on the website of the program, they usually specify if it is only one attempt. I wasn't very careful with reading the each program requirements, so I guess it is my fault to apply to those programs in the first place...

Some program are very strict with their written requirements, some are not. But some also have unwritten requirements they won't tell us.
Good luck!

  #10

  #11

the funny thing is , that many people think the same way - I choose less competitive, and then boom! - these "less competitive programs" suddenly become competitive.... smiling face

be sure to call program and ask specifically if they consider applis with attempts. meaning they are not screening u out..

i know ppl with cs attempt but great scores who have got into good places. but dont give usmle's with an intention that u will pass it this time or the next. every extra attempt is bad..
