Hey everyone. Yes, yes I've searched and read similar threads but was curious as to what your thoughts were for my situation. I've only had 3 interviews, and have no more offers as of today. I've been wait-listed at one program as well.
I received an email today from my dean asking if I wanted to consider a parallel pathway and apply FM or IM. To be honest, I can't fathom doing anything but EM. My application isn't the best score-wise, however, I have very strong letters and performed very well in my home-school EM rotation, as well as in my away-rotation, earning honors in both. Everything else on my application is very good filled with all of the typical mumbo-jumbo that programs like to see...aside from two pesky lower board scores...
Step 1: 207
Step 2: 212, passed CS
At this point I'm hitting panic mode. I applied broadly to 53 programs, 32 initially, and an additional 21 within the past couple of days. Almost all of these are community-based programs, with a few larger universities thrown in the mix, spread throughout the east/west coasts, with a healthy few in the middle.
At this point, is my freaking out premature? I would like to think/hope more offers will come as we get into December/January as people cancel so I can hit at the very least, the magical *10* interviews. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
