Hi everyone! I'm an MS3 almost 100% sure I want to go into psych. I'm attending an unranked US medical school. I did well on step 1 (255) and I'm aiming to honor all my clerkships this year, but I have pretty much zero extracurricular/research experience in med school. I did research in undergrad but no publications. If I wasn't limited in matching to only a few programs (USC, UCLAs, UC Irvine, and places close to LA) because of my husband, I wouldn't be worried, but because I am limited, I need to make myself as competitive as possible. I'm fairly confident that I will have a good personal statement and good LoRs.
I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions anyone has for me about
1. Should I do some research?
2. Will an away rotation at Los Angeles help me? I'm currently on the East Coast, but I can be considered a California resident because we pay California taxes.
Thanks in advance!
