Dr. Alyssa, came across your channel and I have chills after watching 4 videos in a row! Too many similarities to your experiences to just be coincidence. I’m not sure how to get in touch with you outside of general comments but if there’s a way to connect via email please do let me know❤

congratulations need your advice regarding step2 preparation as I cannot learn from uworld step2ck did a lot of work on it completed first pass did in corrects still not getting good scores what to do?

Wow, sounds intense! Hope your exams go well!

Missed your videos!!

Wow! I'm shook. I knew it was gonna be hard but your experience really puts it in perspective how challenging intern year is. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!

Did you study for step 3 during medical school? I took step 2 a few days ago. Wondering if I should keep doing my anki cards.

Hi Alyssa I’m also hoping to apply anesthesia would it be ok to reach out to you to go over best practices for the application?

Just make sure you won't need STEP-3 for your State Licensure. Also, the AAMC has proposed for STEP-3 to be switched into P/F and 1 day exam. So, I'd recommend to maybe wait for a bit and see how things go with STEP-3

I really like your channel. Your only a year ahead of me, so your perspective is super helpful. I'm trying to write my personal statement for IM right now, and I feel like my mind is blank. Like I don't know what to write. If you could make a video on writing your personal statement (if it isn't too personal), I think a lot of people would find it helpful.

Which cheesy dorion deck?

Which chat gpt did you use?

Hello, I just wanted to know the safe score on Nbmes to pass step one ?? Thanks.

can you make a video about surgery and internal medicine resources during medical school

The “maybe this is a experimental question” strategy is gold. Thank you so much ❤️

That was funny trying to see you do the math from 1400 haha

This strategy doesn't work when you're unsure about every other question

Thank you for all your great videos. Step 2 prep is absolute torture.

Thanks for sharing and being honest May you have peace and success

Hi! Checking in, got my step 2 results back and was hoping for higher, got a 257. Thanks for All your advice. Would love a video on how things have been starting residency, hope you’re well!

Could you please send the decks. I cant find them anywhere on the internet

Oh so you were doing incorrects throughout the year and not just at dedicated

Hey, when you say that you only wrote notes on UW questions you got wrong twice are you speaking about an incorrect that you would do again in dedicated and that was the first time you wrote notes? When preparing for shelfs since you didn’t do used questions then did you write notes to prepare for those?

Do have a recommendation for which chat gpt to use to help understand answer explanations better?

Hello, I was analyzing your KZfaq channel. your you tube SEO score is very low. It should be increased. and subscribers ,views , like, comments is very low according to your channel age. This is why your you tube growth is very low and your channel setup is also having many problems. If, you can solve this problems your channel will grow and be famous very quickly.

Nice content

During dedicated did you do all your practice questions in timed mode (Vs. Tutored)? and with do you recommend?

great tip!! I didn't even pay attn to this.

Thankyou, this is so relatable and hearing this helps so much. Usually you hear people on here talking only about how they were able to study for extended periods of time relentlessly, and my need to take frequent breaks had me doubting my abilities and feeling stressed and extremely guilty. This was so reassuring, thankyou for putting this out here.

Congratulations on matching! Hoping to match into the same come my time, starting m3 soon, would it be possible to email you questions I have about matching as a DO?

Hi Alyssa. Thank you so much for your content and for sharing your journey. I am currently preparing for step 2 and I find your content intensely helpful. Thank you so much!

OMG the guy coughing!! I had the same experience during my step 1 exam. The guy was coughing for 3 blocks!! I almost cried!!

I'm surprised with how much you could utilize ChatGPT on that level! I'd never thought that it could do the stuff you made it do! Generate questions with the literal goal of delineating differences between related diseases? Wow! I mean when I was studying , my experience with ChatGPT was very disappointing. It probably is the case that it got much better since then, but I think also the fact that is more of basic science (solid knowledge) heavy material made it really futile... LLM like ChatGPT excel at "processing" the info & details, manipulating the knowledge, the approach, the algorithms & the rather than generating info or help digging deep into the scientific basis... It's why & how the dots are connected, rather than what are the dots? or why the dots are that shape? if that makes sense... That's why it could be used in clinical knowledge exams preparation, I guess!

Hahahaha! Oh my god, your experience with the exam reminds me of mine during exam day last year! I remember that during the 3rd to 4th blocks, there was this eardrum piercing, literally screeching sounds & stomping noise... I almost lost it! The terrifying thing is that I have misophonia & my PARTICULAR trigger was stomping noises & basically any noise produced through walls. It was actually a very debilitating thing that I had to live through during my Step 1 preparation period (& most of Step 2 before moving out). I don't remember a single NBME that I have taken during the day because of my misophonia. I'd literally take my NBMEs in the middle of the night, after 3 to 4 hours of "sleep", just to be able to go through them while there was no noise! Gosh I can't believe what I did in my preparation period... It was a period of my life that I wish no one EVER has to go through! Anyways, back to the main story, lol! The stomping & screeching in my exam went on for almost 2 hours, the problem is that the proctors literally said that they can't do anything! I mean imagine going to the most (actually 2nd most) important exam in your life & your archnemesis is lurking around the corner just to show up when you least expect it! The very thing that messed my life up during preparation showed up in the real deal! That is what literally happened to me... but when you go through what I had to go through during my early journey. You are not gonna go back... I was like, Ok, are you kidding me? If it's gonna be this way then I don't care... Is it a challenge? You can't beat me! It was a miracle! I passed , my is gonna be soon... I'm hoping to get a great score like yours. I just wanna share an advice to all of those who made it this far: Don't let these exams or anything else in life get to you! You are stronger than you think, and the road is full of & bumps, sometimes straight up barricades, but with a bit of endurance and a leap of faith... You will get there! Also, do NOT forget to bring earplugs with you to the exam centre! lol!

im doing engineering in computer science so am i eligible for md programm or do i need to do mor courses?

I'm amazed at how much higher my exam scores are since I've started skipping ANY question that I am not at least 90+ percent sure on!! Literally 10+ points higher because like you said, I am maximizing the ones I CAN do!! Brilliant!!

This is kind of random but what is your zodiac sign!

Thank you so much for sharing. In my third year and looking forward to this.

Did you study CMS FORMS?

Thanks for your important advice..❤❤❤

Hi.. Alysha..Congratulations ❤❤❤

Doc .. waiting for 2ck stuff 😊

Did you end up finishing your UW incorrects? I'm trying to figure out whether I should prioritize one over the other with CMS forms, since most of my UW incorrects were when I just didn't know the content in the beginning of 3rd year

Yay! A new video, thank you for answering my Step 2 questions, I test in 3 weeks. Can you make a video about signaling and your residency program you matched in, interview. If you felt like they liked you? It was good or if you had zero feelings you made it?

Mam how much medical student loans do you have? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
