The program’s decision to schedule Step 1 in a quieter window gave me a real edge. Srinidhi Ma’am kept checking in on my practice and adjusted my plan whenever I slipped. That focus on timing and follow‑up made my USMLE‑to‑match journey feel protected, not just rushed.

What stood out for me was how the US‑rotations were built into my long‑term match plan from the start. The staff were very patient, especially when I struggled to align my experience with Saint Peter’s expectations. That consistent guidance helped me feel like I was building a real Pediatrics portfolio, not just collecting hours.

The 6‑hour interview‑drill was the real difference for me. Srinidhi kept checking in during the sessions and adjusted my answers so they sounded like me, not a script. That personalised practice is what made my interviews feel like calm conversations, not rehearsed lines.
