> 240 may be the new normal. We'll see if the NRMP puts out updated stats.
Quote:
Board Scores: 250s, step 2 not submitted till january
--AOA and class rank: Junior AOA, top 10%
--GPA: N/A
--Reputation of medical school: (top 10, top 25, etc): unranked state school
--Research: 2 basic science oral presentations in unrelated field, 2 rad onc abstracts presented, 1 radonc submitted, 1 onc case report, some public health stuff ( no pubs)
--Honors in clerkships: all except peds/family med
--# and where you did away rotations: 3
--# of programs you applied to: almost all
--Where invited for interviews: all over the place... invited on 19, went on 16
--Where matched: one of the places I rotated 
--Anything that helped your app: Good LORs, hard work on away rotation, attempting research at the last second
--Plans if not matched: prelim medicine yr at fancy academic place
--Prelim year: Awesome TY near home
--Other: I think rotating at a range of academic --> community style programs gave me a good idea about the type of residency/career I want. If you aren't interested in the academic grind, there are plenty of programs that train excellent clinicians. Don't forget that you need to live with the program for 4-5 years.
