Applying fall 2015
Step 1: 241
Step 2 CK/ CS: Taking in July
School: mid-tier US-MD state school (midwest)
Class Rank: top 25%
Grades in Clerkship: Honors in Psych, Pass in most others (we don't get all the honors results until may), no fails.
AOA: N/A at my school
Research/ Publications/ Extracurriculars: one 1st author basic science publication (reputable journal)- Lots of research experience (about 4 years worth) in undergrad - good number of conferences/presentations/posters/awards. Involved in student government in Med school -
Red Flags: None that I can think of
Overview of where you want to end up: I would like to end up somewhere that's well rounded but has strong research opportunities. I'd like to avoid the east coast - My location interests go west coast>colorado>Minnesota/Michigan/Wisconsin.
Places that have seemed interesting in my search so far: Stanford, UCLA, UCSF, UWASH (but I'm plenty open to suggestions)
Thanks in advance for your help!
