cost of my jorney - star12345

I spent 15,000$ for my journey from step1 to matching

Did it pay off ? Did you match ?

[ArchivalUser]

yes I matched

matching is "priceless"

Gosh star12345 seeing this thread prompted me to calculate what i spend in this journey.

Just tallied my USMLE expense spreadsheet. almost as nearly as yours $14535 with today's conversion rate of INR 50.9 for 1$

But like pubmed said matching is priceless. and i matched. praise be to God.

Guys, you are just awesome with your spirits. Keep it up. My figure is near about the same so let's not loose hope like the winners are saying. Thanks.

average expense for an applicant ( IMG) would range around - 10000$- 18000$ ... + any masters' degree expenses

Just remember ... AMGs are some what 150,000 $-200,000$ in their med school education debt!

So what we people spend is just peanuts compared to their's

I myself found some consolation comparing the two figures!

yes pubmed that's true i agree completely. we can complaint on that accord.

At least it's only half the fees for a PG course in deemed universities in India. The stress and uncertainty is what eats us out more than the expenses.

By god's grace I matched, for all these days I was tensed and didnt thought abt what I spent. Getting residency is priceless and we cant compare cost of getting residency with $. Just now calculated the amount and wanted to share with u guys, thats all.

AMG debt include all their expenses to live during med school, am I right?
