I agree with Laura 100%. Do not pay for " COACHING ".
This is my challege for ROCK.
Are you able to gea a spot with your famous COACHING for a FMG with Multiple attempts, low scores, no USCE,
Old graduate. Even with all USMLE and low scores your coaching is not going to work.
FMG need to go to the NRMP and see what is the reality.
Every year is getting tougher to ger a spot.
I bet if someone is with low scores even if this FMG passed all USMLE in ther first try is gonna be difficult for him.
AGAIN!!!!
Do not spend money in coaching.
The only thing as far as I know work for old FMG and with low scores is networking.
I know a couple of guys here and they are doing FM residency.
They graduate from medical school 12 years ago and with 3 attempts in USMLE step 1.
What was the trick? Networking.
I remember they did not even enroll in the ERAS process.
For an Old FMG is very hard and the only thing I have noticed based in my experience is networking.
