Sak Pase!
Just came by real quick to upload AUC's match list along with a spreadsheet that the students at our school has for people who matched to post their step scores and where they matched. The link's are below but I while looking at these lists I decided to do some calculations. As an IMG, I have to apply to over 10 times more residency programs than the med students in the states. Yes I said 10x. Consider all else equal, a student in the states can apply to just 10 residency programs and they might get interview invitations for all 10 spots. A Caribbean med student like myself has to apply to over 100 just to get those same 10 interview invitations. I did the math and to apply for 130 residency programs the costs came out to over $3,000. Mind you, this is not including other app fees and traveling/flying/hotel costs. WHAT DID I SIGN UP FOR!?
Anyway here are the links for your viewing pleasure, just click on them.

TTYL!
My thoughts, frustrations, run-on sentences, and poor grammar while I document my journey through medical school at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. For all newcomers, please read the post titled "Epiphany" first to understand how I got to where I am now. You can find it below above my head. Lol! Name is pronounced Bih-Tee-Nah. Welcome friends! :)
