I’m a 4th year medical student looking to get professional headshots taken for residency and would love some photographer recommendations in NYC, Westchester, or Long Island!

I’d especially appreciate recommendations for photographers who have experience working with South Asian clients or people of color. I’ve had issues with lighting in previous photoshoots, so finding someone who knows how to photograph different skin tones well is important to me.

I’m also working with a student budget, so I’m hoping to find someone reasonably priced without compromising on quality.

Would love to hear any recommendations or personal experiences. Thank you!

I have level 2 scheduled for the end of June. Just took my first self purchased COMSAE (113) and scored a 415. I won't be taking step so please give me advice on how to break 600 on level 2. I'm an average student, passed all my COMATs, never really felt uncomfortable with the material. I'll share what I've been doing below, please let me know what I should be changing.

I've been using uworld primarily since I used it for COMAT studying, should I switch to exclusively doing truelearn (the only bank my school pays for)?

I've never been an anki person bc it takes too much time. I've been doing questions on tutor mode, untimed but I think I've been spending way too much time reviewing so I haven't been able to do a higher volume of questions per day yet.

Admittedly I'm not doing hot with OMM/MSK questions. I have the Savarese book but not a big fan of it.

I plan on taking COMSAE 114, 115, and 116 (school purchased), and a TL half length prior to my exam. Any advice on how often to take these half lengths?

TLDR: PLS HELP, if you were me what would you do?
