Passing the USMLE (National Board of Examiners 2005)
Grade: AAAAA+++++++++++

HELL FREAKIN YEAH!!!! I passed!! I passed!! I seriously feel like I got into med school all over again. This is a great feeling and I haven't felt this way in so long! It's refreshing. The USMLE is the boards all M.D.'s have to take. Being a D.O. and passing the USMLE makes you more competitive because they can measure you against M.D.'s. I don't HAVE to pass these boards, but it is to my benefit if I do. Passing is usually a score of 182...(I can't remember out of how much) and a percentage of 75%.

My score: 207 Percent: 84%

I called my mom and told her to check the mail. She said she would call me back with my score. When she called she asked, "What's passing?" and I told her 182. And she's like you got an 84. And i'm like um...are you sure it's not a 184?? And she was like no it's an 84. And I'm like is it the percent? and she's like yes 84% whew!! then she told me my score.

Freakin awesome! I almost don't care about the hot scorching 2 hour drive I have to make to Fontana without A/C! What a wonderful day!
