What helps someone stand out during their interviews or applications? Additionally, have you ever given interviews or accepted any applicants with red flags, and if so, what allowed you to look past their red flags?
Hi all, I’m now an M4 beginning ERAS applications and needed advice. I failed Level 1 and have had to remediate a few pre-clinical courses during M1 year in medical school. How do I go about addressing them in the ERAS section in a positive manner? My main difficulty with these areas had primarily been not being able to form good study habits and not locking in ahead of time. How should I address this without looking like a complete idiot or someone that is lazy? I’m super stressed because these failures already carry huge red flags, and I don’t want my explanation to add onto that. Would love any advice or would love to know what you wrote if you went through something similar. I’m currently in the process of studying for Level 2/Step 2 and am aiming for at least a 245 if possible. I have also been accepted for Sub-Is at Neurology residency programs that aren’t typically as competitive or academic focused, and am also dual applying in IM as my safety.
