Hi guys,
I was just wondering how much it matters where you do your elective? I am set to do a US elective. It's in a good IM subspecialty however it's at a small mid west program. I was delighted to have the opportunity to get proper USCE because I have not sat step 1 yet but now I'm worried any LOR's from there won't make much difference to my application seeing as its not a mid-top tier program. I'd be interested in applying to the East coast and some Mid West programs too when it comes to residency time. I'm finding it difficult to obtain a second US elective at the moment. Thanks for any help!
