Hello everyone,
Sorry if I am asking a question that has been asked before. I am really nervous about my situation.
Here is a snapshot of my medical school career:
Step 1: 197/81, first attempt
Step 2 CK: 217/93, THIRD attempt
Step 2 CS: Pass, first attempt
Had to take a year off during my M2 year because I became depressed (now well controlled on a SSRI)
After finally passing the USMLE in September of 2011, I became an MD from a school in the Midwest. Now I am studying in a Masters program in Bioethics (which is really interesting if anyone is curious).
Also, I was a board member for FMIG and APAMSA. And I was a member of my classes Lottery Committee (help sort out third year clerkships, etc). And I participated in a program where I shadowed a family doc for 1 month during the summer after my M1 year.
Applied to 44 programs (All family of course ). 4 rejections . No interview invitations yet .
I know I may have to scramble (or I guess go through the SOAP process) given my poor test grades. I am really starting to panic, though, that I may not get a job as a FM resident next year.
What do you all think my chances are? Any other advice?
Thank you for reading and for help,
Zoogie
