Hey everyone... longtime listener, firsttime caller. Feeling pretty anxious over here. Not usually one for stats, but I've applied to 52 programs and have received 1 interview, 4 rejections, and 2 waitlists, so thought I'd make a post.
Stats: MD, 250s step 1, 240s step 2, top quintile, MSPE w/ only positive comments, 3 SLOEs (high/high/satisfactory although w/ very positive comments and was assured a "strong" SLOE from each), AOA (although elections were last week so only recently updated ERAS), SVI 20, no red flags that I know of
I've already interviewed at my home institution and my two aways, but the fact that my application has been out for over a month with only 1 offer has me antsy af, so over the weekend I applied to 24 more (76 total)... My advisor told me 30 programs would be more than enough, but that's seeming to be not the case. Should I go for even more? Send out LOIs? Keep waiting? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks guys.
