Hey there,
I am OMS-III trying to get things ready for when 4th year elective applications start being accepted.
There are just so many programs to choose from that I have no idea what to do. Basically any advice on programs my stats would be solid for, advice on how many auditions to do (and whether to do 2 weeks or 1 month long?), how to go about picking where to do auditions (should I email them and inquire about program first?)....... would be greatly appreciated.
I feel auditions will be important for me because of my stats: ~520 COMLEX I, 3rd quartile class rank, and so far only passes in my clinical rotations.
Right now I'm trying to focus on programs in the Midwest and would like to go to a Level I or Level II trauma site for my training. There are a metric crap-ton of residencies in Michigan and Ohio I am interested in but how do I even begin to choose where to audition??!?!
