I did said that Faddy, I said it is not good +ve, but would be bad -ve .. but i didn't explain when ... look at it this way Faddy ...
If u r a program director and u r evaluating a candidate infront of u, this candidate is an old graduate, low scores, probably multiple no. of attempts ... a combination or some of these .. then u when u take a look at his Medschool performance u wanna c any +ve thing on his/her CV ... They wanna really stand on the real personality of u, r u a hard worker or not, sometimes, ur LORs are so gr8 but doesn't go with ur scores and this is confusing, so sure they will look to c how did u performed b4 ...
This is my own opinion, not based on any experience heared from anyone, just that the FA mentioned the previous performance and this is my own analysis to it, i might be wrong, i hope .. i might be correct, i might be partialy correct ... I don't know ....
& I still don't see that it is a smart move not to work hard on my medical school coz i've other plans ... that's all ...

This is Smirnoff!! My true true friend, some of the best times you never remember
You know what? My Peds exam that I thought it would be on Wednesday turned out to be on Saturday!! Which means I wasted last couple of days of my life in vain!!
I cut the bottle for privacy purposes!!

Hey Guys,
kaplan Pathology is sooooooooooo Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad ... Goljan Pathology is so Gr888888888888888888888888888 .... Most of the qs i got wrong in UW are in his notes & lectures, it was a very bad idea not to listen to it earlier, i thought that my step2 knowledge will suffice, but it didn't ... Now i have to discard Kaplan Pathology and start using Goljan notes ....
These notes are gr8, The qs are usually asking Why?? and How ??? and these are not mentioned in Kaplan, but they r in Goljan .... at least if anyone gonna pick something to review from Goljan then definitley Hematology & Nephrology ...
@ Nany, usmler & anyone preparing for step2ck,
I highly recommend that u print out Goljan high yield notes ( 36 pages ) ... and don't just review them, MEMORIZE them like ur names .. forget ur names but remember these, if i had done that in CK, I'd have ended up with a much higher score ... Beleive me ... He said in his lectures he prepared them for both steps 1 & 2 .... really gr8 ...
Good luck

Strongly support your recommendation bro!! yo the man of the week!!

Guys look what i found ...
Goljan has made lectures too for step2, they r 17 hrs, MP3 sound ...
I found it as a part of torrent file for step2 Kaplan videos ... here is the link
http://www.mininova.org/det/236420
click on details and scroll down and u'll find the details to the files ...
The problem is, no one is seeding and also it needs a password, i don't know if anyone of u has these lectures or have any idea about them or know a better link to download them or not ??

@ elreifai
The High Yield notes that i recommend for step2 taker, comes in 2 formats, 36 & 100 pages, they r the same, use the 36 pages, they r present with the Goljan Audio files ... print them out
For step1 takers, if u have the old 300 pages Goljan Rapid review, use it, it is gr8, the newer version is too long 700 pages ...
If u don't have either, then u;ve to print the notes that come with the Audio lectures, they are over 500 pages ....
Hope that cleared it for u

NO Usmler, Read it now It is a must ... Take my word ... it is not like u r starting something new, it is like a collection of the educational objectives of the UW, and even more, as it has lots that u lack in step2 like some genetics, some immunology, these things u don't have so much of info about specially because u didn't do step1 yet ..
It won't consume a lot of ur time ... 36 pages and u've 15 days, if u read 3 pages/day in just 30 minutes then u'll finish in 12 days, and u'll have anohter 3 days to reread ... don't miss any piece of it, u can be asked on the exam. on ur Step1 basic knowledge, they suppose that u've that knowledge even u if u didn't do step1, they did that with me ....
Do it man, it is not a waste of time or confusion at all .. u still r working on ur schedule & just adding 30 minutes at the end of the day for these notes ...
Good Luck
