On this episode of GMM, you will get the scoop on IM and IM residency application from M4 Sofia Toro Alvarez, who's survived the grind and lived to tell the tale:

1. How to Prep for Residency Interviews: Study the program’s vibe, know your stuff, and be able to talk about your experiences without sounding like a robot. 

2. Signaling on Applications—What the Heck is That? Gold vs Silver! Think of it as telling a program, "Hey, I’m interested in you,” without getting too desperate. 

3. How to Stand Out in Your Interview: Be yourself—seriously. Your personality is the secret sauce. Show them you’re not just a future doctor, but someone they’d actually want to work with for 80+ hours a week.
