Was wondering if I could get some advice from SDN regarding not necessarily WAMC but how many programs and maybe some feed back on my current list. Posting here instead of making a new thread.
Desire academic EM, research, teaching.
PhD biochemistry, 4 years, tons of pubs in and prior to med school
DO student, top 10-20ish%, no class rank
SSP (do's crappy version of AOA)
USMLE 1 & 2: 250/260
Level 1 & 2: 640/630
3rd year: 5 honors, 5 or 6 pass
4th year: HP & Honors in EM at 2 very large & respected academic centers
various leadership positions in aam/rsa, teaching, part time job, etc
no red flags
per eras, like 5 work experiences, 14 volunteer experiences, 6 research experiences
Received advice for 10-15 interviews resulting in about 30-35 applications. My list includes a mix of large academic centers, a few reaches, lots of solid community/hybrid programs. Currently list is 35. Would like to stay midwest, and not considering Mich*gan (go bucks!). I feel like I should have some lesser prestige programs, but I would like to end up career-wise at an academic center, and if it wasn't for the the whole DO thing, I think most of the programs on the list would be very appropriate.
*not in any specific order, just a random order from my current spread sheet
