i heard mar is better than resident cafe cause of the 'additional comments' section, which gives important info about the program...but mar is also more expensive...


  #6

I just purchased a list from MAR. It's decent. But nothing much in the comment section. The most useful info is the requirement of certification for interviews.

Which one would you recommend?? MAR, resident cafe, or fmgamerica?

chicagodoc79,

Sorry that I don't know about resident cafe, or fmgamerica. But as for requirements, MAR is pretty decent. They also reveal the percentage of IMGs in each program (but the percentage is generally greater than what I got from the programs' Website. Maybe they counted the fellows also).

MAR is good enough.but its expensive.usmerockers.net provides a handwritten list for 15 dollars but its not a complete list.

Or you can do your own search, which is very time-consuming. Go to ERAS, select programs, then check their websites, find out their requirements. Believe it or not, I did it this way. Some programs listed all the criteria, which were good, so you can eliminate right away if you don't meet that. But some, just keep the criteria as a secret, mentioning if you need more information, you could email the PC. When you really email the PC, they won't reply in a few days. Anyway, if you have enough money, I would suggest you buy a list. If not, just follow my complicated way. GL.

Thank you guys for your information. anyone heard about about IMG-interactive?

  #15

I used it last year,
It's cheap and worth 4 the money u pay.

  #16

After read all your posts, I googled and accidently found this website which I also posted in another thread: http://usmlein.com/usmle/?page_id=9

Check that out if needed. Once again, we have to do our own homework to double check and confirm. GL.
