Yep, I think so - apply broadly, including community programs, try to do a research project now and get published if possible, do away rotations, and try to kick butt on ck.

Yes, but you will have to apply to many programs because some will have a step 1 cutoff of 230 or so.

Also, if you can crush step 2 as described above that will help.

It depends on what region you live in and likely how competitive you would be at your home program.
