I'm an international student, class of 2018.
Planning to apply to match 2019 or 2020, I have an obligatory year as a house officer that ends in Feb 19, I know GS is getting competitive every year and I'll apply as soon as I have my final diploma.
No USMLE scores yet, but will have step 1 score in hand when I apply for next year, the step is in 8 weeks and hitting 250+ in the NBMEs but nothing is certain of course until I get the final score report, aiming for 265+.
Planning to take 2 months in the states in 2015 but not sure which bears the most weight in the application:
1. Research electives at JHU for 10 weeks.
2. Observership, not electives, for 8 or 10 weeks.
Note: I can only take 6 months max in the states, so 2 research and 4 USCE or all 6 USCE.
Any input about this is highly appreciated and any input about my application and tips for me are always welcome
