    👀 Please put in your thoughts in the comments section below- what do you think of the BIGSHOTS and the UNDERDGOS. And if you think I missed out on any other important milestones, feel free to add it in the comments below!

    Divya, this is genuinely the most comprehensive list of requirements for the USMLE that I've come across on the internet. Thank you!
    The underdogs were definitely the heroes in this one (I'm sure most people learn about them much later than they would have liked to).
    Great job! And thanks once again.

    DISCLAIMER: The universities that I mentioned in the video are open and accepting International Medical Students, at the time of making this video(Jan 2022). I have no affiliation to any of the universities, and their names have been suggested in the video for information purpose only.
    *Residency starts on 1st JULY.

    Concise and to the point! Divs this video throws extensive light on prepping for MLE and a heads up during covid times. Iam pretty sure this is going to serve as a map to all IMG's who wanna pursue their careers in USA. As per the technicalities of your video, great clarity and content! Looking forward to your upcoming videos! Cheers 🙌

    I’ve no words to explain how overwhelmed I’m by all these milestones right now, but I am also so so so grateful to you, I had to come to terms with all these sooner or later, and its just my first year in med school so it might feel like a lot (honestly it is a lot) but I can start with volunteering work and build my way up. So THANKYOU!!!
    Ps can you please tell me more about the rotaract club? How do I join?

    • @DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal
      @DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal  2 роки тому +1

      It's totally understandable to feel overwhelmed, but this shows that this journey matters to you. There's still a long way to go, so try not to burnout and just enjoy the process including your med school !
      Check out the Rotaract club - RC Caduceus website for details.

    • @DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal
      @DivyaSharma_KeepingitReal  2 роки тому

      Hello! The college transcripts are a part of your CV. Any awards/Honors/Gold medal you get during your medical school adds value to your cv. Its always a good option to give your best. To answer your second question, they view the applicant as a whole and you can improve the other parts of your application if your medical school marks are average.

      TOEFL isnt mandatory, but a lot of clerkships require it. Yes, you can take it anytime, but the scores are valid only for 2 years. So make sure when you apply for clerkships those scores ill be valid.

      ​@@trishafilm Definitely more than that. With the new pricing by Intealth, we will need at least 3.1 lakh rupees just for the ECFMG and USMLE procedures, and add a few lakhs more for preparatory resources, travels to and from the US and clerkships there, the additional (miscellaneous) expenses for the underdog milestones.... I'd say about 15 to 20 lakhs overall.
