Scores Aren’t Enough: What Actually Got This IMG Matched! | IMG Speaks Out | USMLE

She had great scores. ✅ She did her rotations. ✅ But that still wasn't enough to stand out.

In this powerful interview, Dr. Arundhati shares the real reasons of how she matched into categorical internal medicine — and it has less to do with USMLE scores than you’d expect.

💥 How volunteering came up in every single interview
💥 The difference between just observing vs. living like a resident
💥 Why her outpatient + inpatient rotation mix made her application unmissable
💥 How research — even without prior experience — became her competitive edge
💥 The mindset that interviewers were really looking for

She says it herself: “They want to see the whole person, not just a number.”

📌 This is a must-watch if you think high scores alone will carry you through Match. The programs are evolving — are you?
