(Moderators, please move this to appropriate thread if WAMC doesn't belong here)
Step 1: 215
Level 1: <500
3rd year: almost all HP + 1P + 1H
No failed school exams.
President of 1 club + 2 other insignificant position.
Location: Northeast
Class of 2023; DO School.
Nothing really sets me apart in terms of extracurricular activities.
Straight to the point.
What are my chances? I've looked up <220 Step1 WAMC for gas, but a lot of them are before 2018.
Anesthesia has gotten a lot more competitive recently. There were +200 unfilled EM positions in Class of 2022 and I heard a lot went into anesthesia, making it more competitive.
Do I have a shot at low-tier programs near the coast line (east; preferably NE)?
I will apply as broadly as I can but will shy away from midwest, and rural places.
Future wife needs to be near a city due to her corporate job.
I know it's an uphill battle, but if this is a battle I cannot win, I'm ok with cutting my loss and just go into IM/FM/Psych.
Just need some cutthroat advice or hopeful stories on those getting in with low scores.
