The residency applicant reality

The hardest part isn't studying. It's managing everything at once.

Whether you're an IMG, a U.S. MD/DO student, or a re-applicant — you're managing exams, applications, deadlines, and the Match on parallel tracks, usually without a dedicated advisor watching the whole board.

No structured advisor

Most residency applicants sequence USMLE, ERAS, LORs, and Match logistics without dedicated faculty support. IMGs add ECFMG and USCE — one missed window can cost a full cycle.

Your timeline is unique

Your grad year, exam history, available hours, and owned resources are unique. Generic templates ignore all of it. A plan built around your actual situation is the only one worth following.

Scores should change the plan

Every NBME tells you where next week should go. Most tools ignore it. MatchPlan reads your weak systems and rebuilds around targeted repair — not another generic pass.

What you get

Why we built this

Built for residency applicants, not adapted from someone else's tool

Most prep tools are built for students with a faculty advisor, a fixed exam window, and a single track to follow. Many applicants don't have that — IMGs balancing ECFMG and USCE, U.S. MD/DO students navigating competitive specialties, and re-applicants rebuilding their profile, all on different clocks without anyone watching the full picture.

MyBigStep MatchPlan exists to be that missing structure: one plan that holds your whole pathway, starts from your real constraints, and adjusts the moment something changes. We keep the planner free so you can see the entire roadmap before deciding it's worth paying for.

Covers every applicant track

IMG, U.S. MD/DO, and re-applicant tracks — Step 1 through rank list, with ECFMG and USCE for IMG users.

Plans your real resources

First Aid, UWorld, Pathoma, Sketchy, Anki, AMBOSS and more — only what you actually own.

You stay in control

Always verify deadlines and eligibility with official USMLE, ECFMG, and ERAS sources.

FAQ

Common questions

IMGs, U.S. MD/DO students, re-applicants, and anyone preparing for the residency Match. IMG users get a dedicated track with ECFMG, Pathways, OET, and USCE milestones. U.S. MD/DO users get a streamlined track for USMLE, ERAS, and Match readiness. Re-applicants can rebuild from their current stage.

Yes. Step 1, Step 2 CK, Step 3, ERAS timeline, program shortlist, interview tracking, and rank-list strategy — all in one workspace. IMG users also get ECFMG milestones and USCE planning.

Yes. Enter the weeks and hours you have left and the plan builds from where you are now — not from an idealized Day 1.

Check only the resources you have. The plan references those exclusively — it never assigns chapters from a book or qbank you don't own.

No. The Free Planner shows your complete roadmap, readiness score, and weak-area priorities with no credit card. Pro saves it, adds Dr. Shah AI coaching, NBME-based updates, exports, and the Match tracker.
