MBRU Internship portfolio reassessment

Hello I’m unable to find the reassessment option for MBRU internship. I’ve been checking since the scores arrived and can’t find it.
As per the mail it was supposed to open ‘after two days’ so I tried again a while ago didn’t see it and I was checking the notifications in the portal where I saw it said you had to do it ‘within two days’ or else it will be accepted as if you’re okay with the score which doesn’t make sense to me is it ‘after two days’ or ‘within two days’? I’ve mailed the admissions department but still if anyone has done it please guide me.

Update: received no response on both the mails and tried calling them, they gave me GME’s numbers as it’s a separate department no one picked up tried multiple times :’(

I literally can’t do 40 UWORLD at random mode it makes me feel so stupid I can barely push myself to do 10-20 without giving up and all the words feel so big and don’t make sense at all like I skipped all of it in medical university or something 😭 it’s just too much and then FA is so concise
I want to watch BnB but there’s 400+ plus videos and watching all of them in detail will take me so much time and I just cannot without making sure every single thing sticks in my head and after a while it’s like my brain hits saturation and I just want to sleep. It’s either this or me just giving up I don’t know how people managed to finish within a few weeks or months of prep. Nothing makes sense at all and how am I supposed to just read explanations and move past like how will that even stick?! Please any help

It’s like someone needs to teach me how to study and then teach me everything 😭 I’ve never felt more stupider than whenever I try to or think of STEPs

Graduated in Feb, tried preparing for STEP before but always end up feeling overwhelmed. I was in USMD style school until pre clinicals got over then switched to a basic MD school where I finally felt contident enough as USMD would drain me and I always felt I wasn't doing enough. Used to watch BnB back then but had no time to do Uworld and could never sit through FA. My modules there were mostly just pass or above, some with resits and only one that I had to retake. University wasn't really teaching and instead caused issues so I moved out but now that I'm done I have time to study until my clinicals start next month and I want to brush up my basics and work on Uworld.
I can answer most questions but I don't know why or how most times and now I have forgotten a lot more. I feel like I need a whole year but I don't want to stretch it that much. Also if I don't pass this my parents have told me to just leave clinical side. I have really great clinical experience and CV but feel like I suck at this. The fear of failing modules etc made me hate the whole FA and uworld thing but I have to do it because I have seen students who are even weaker than me do it!
Just don't understand where to start and feel like there's sooooo many resources!

Fresh graduate from Georgia, UAE resident and Indian citizen.

Interested in Surgery

Have a lot of experience hands on experience in surgery form Georgia and also just observerships in the UAE and Georgia.

I did 7 semesters of med school from a USMD program affiliated with Emory University, Atlanta then had to shift to a different university cause the administration really sucked and we weren’t taught much.

This caused a sem delay in my graduation but my GPA drastically improved. I tried preparing for STEP-1 in between but I was so burnt out from the previous system that any wrong question or knowledge gaps would cause me to break down and give up. I know that you should keep going but mentally I was too broken especially with everything happening in my personal life. Plus my plan was to just try for UAE residency.

Now here’s the deal residency in UAE is difficult because there’s usually 1000+ applicants for less than 100 seats and even in that there’s a preference for the nationals and then UAE graduates. Match also highly depends on connections, so even if there is someone who is exceptionally amazing for a specific residency spot they might give it away to a national & you’re informed of this during the application process.

I have applied for internships in the UAE for this year and I will try for the upcoming match cycle. Meanwhile I want to keep a backup plan and I don’t know if I should go for US or Germany.

US surgery is hard, Germany is easier but language is the most common challenge on top of that is the fact that Georgian universities are H+/- so it depends on how your documentation is processed and you might have to re do a little bit of medical school but you can get into surgery.

US everyone is aware I think 😅 plus my CV is catered towards the US because of my previous university so I am into Research, don’t have that many USCE’s but I did get a Research opportunity around February in the University of Illinois but unfortunately my family didn’t allow me due to distance and finances so now my choice comes down to what gives me financial freedom and independence faster and what is more guaranteed and that’s what I need your help.

If I do match in the UAE, I want to save up and still try for US cause that’s what most residents do but that’s if I match because then I’ll have financial freedom.

In your opinion what seems worth it and what would you suggest?
