Hello,
I would like some advice on my situation.
School: US News Top 40
Clerkship grades: All pass. (we only give out 15% honors, and unfortunately I'm staying above average which isn't good enough for H's). I believe I can honor my EM rotations. Class rank is bottom 1/3.
Step 1: 235
Step 2: Taking in October (can't take sooner due to EM rotations) - I think I can get between 240-255.
EM clerkships: I have 3 months of EM clerkships in my 4th year
Preferred location: South or west - Texas/California area, but I'm willing to go anywhere
How many programs should I apply to and what are my chances?
I'm thinking I should apply to 50 programs? I know the regions I'm looking at are more competitive. I will also apply in the midwest.
