the thing with forums

forums, i believe, can be a useful tool. however, sometimes, it can be full of shit. all i know is that when i go through it, i take it with a grain of salt.

how i wish i can be like the countless many that score 99s in the exams. which makes you wonder, how hard exaclty are the exams if people are getting 99s left and right. this is why you must view forums with a grain of salt.

the thing i like most about forums is that if you've got a question, someone out htere is bound to be nice enough to answer them. OR if you've got some concerns, someone must've already asked it.

and someone out there is going through exactly (almost) what you are going through.

there are numerous forums that deal with USMLE exams, matching, and residency concerns. you are bound to find one that would suit your preference. they can be helpful. they can give much needed insight in a very bleak and dull day. sometimes, it can give a little amusement. many times, i t can rattle your brain with numerous questions that help guide you in your studies.

but again, with a grain of salt.

lately, the forums i've been into a quite a few times are:

there are a few more but i can't seem to remember them at the moment. I'm sure others have visited much more. i'll add on to this w hen i can
