Hello people,
Wanted to get a sense of what my chances of matching at a top academic research heavy institution for cardiology fellowship. Here’s my stats:
- US grad
- Low Tier IM Residency in mid-west
- PGY3 taking a research fellowship at home institution while applying
- Letters: strong, all from department chairs but don't know their name relevance in the large cards world (basically the biggest hitters available to me at my institution)
Research Experience:
1) Published: 4 (2 first author, 2 co-author)
2) Submitted/Under Review: 3 (1 first author, 2 co-author)
3) In preparation: 3 (2 first author, 1 co-author)
4) Abstracts/Oral Presentations: 7 (4 first author, 3 co-author)
5) Posters: 20 (all first author)
6) Awards/Recognition: 1 research award, 0 grants
How’s the research exp for top institutions like the Harvard affiliates, UCSF, Hopkins, Duke, Stanford, etc? I worked my ass off pretty damn hard, if that’s not enough, then I don’t know what more I can do, it was pretty much the only thing in my app that I could fix. Does coming from a low tier IM program hurt me drastically?
