I didn’t get interviews until late October! I didn’t take STEP 2 until December of that cycle!! I had 20+ interviews before step 2!

1/2 Dear Premed advisor,
In 2015, you asked me to not bother with medical school and to not think about Caribbean medical schools because I won’t make it with my low science GPA. I went to medical school (Caribbean medical school) and I matched on my first residency cycle!
I grew up in an underserved community in Brooklyn, NY as a first-gen student and a child of Egyptian immigrants. I know everything there is to know about Medicaid and have been a part of government funded clinics my entire life. 1/2

Tip of the day: make sure you share a personal story of why you chose the speciality you chose!! Don’t give general vague responses to “why this speciality”. Make it personal. Make it unique!! 💪🏽

Not alone at all!!!! Will always try to be a voice for those underrepresented in medicine or paved their own path into med school and became first in the family to be a doctor! Keep working hard 🙌🏽
Keep coming with these “I got an interview!!!!” Tweeets!! & if you’re still waiting, that’s ok because they’re coming!! Good things come to those who wait 🙃

@fa2tine
I recommend
@doc2doc_lending
if you’d like to consider a loan for that. I just borrowed a loan after match day and it’s helping so much with move in expenses until we get on our feet with getting paid in the summer! They were very easy to communicate with!
Most helpful tip for
#Match2024
: START EARLY. This means ask for LOR early (I asked in June and reminded them in august), draft your personal statement EARLY, fix that resume EARLY. Thank me & everyone who recommended this tip later 🙃

I agree with this 100%! There’s a hobbies section in there on the app , don’t be afraid to be honest about it! I’ve been asked about my hobbies in every interview and it honestly made the interviews fun and more conversational.
Thank you for a wonderful talk,

I’m broke too and had no idea what to do until a few colleagues recommended
@doc2doc_lending
and I applied and was so easy. They give a max of 25k for matched students and I can’t tell you how much it has helped me for rent, bills
It's really about the support system by your side that makes this Match cycle a little more bearable. Grateful to my family, friends, and

I had faith that hard work pays off and when I submitted apps I told myself my part is done and focused on studying. In my interviews I informed PDs of the late step and believe it or not, they were completely fine with it not being in early in cycle.
On May 21, 2023, I married my best friend in Egypt ❤️🙏🏽 This year has been full of blessings for me personally and I’m so excited for what’s next. I’m officially a doctor, I matched, I signed on an apartment and got a car, and I’m a wife 🧿

I chose medicine so I can serve my people, the underserved, diverse communities in need of doctors. Health equity and mental health advocacy will help me pave the way for more women of color and first-gen students who want to pursue this field.
It truly makes me happy to see fellow IMG residents giving their time to review our PS and ERAS application! This all means so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽 can’t wait to give back when I’m in your position and beyond! You’re all amazing!!

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was in high school and have been battling it for over 10 years now. I will always advocate to bring awareness and resources to tackle this! I will continue building on the platform in my blog for women empowerment.

Putting yourself first isn’t selfish. Cutting people off for the sake of your mental health isn’t selfish either. It’s necessary. Prioritize your well-being FIRST. Those who love you will understand and will be there when all is good✨
