OMS3 here. So I didn't expect this... but I love the OR. I really really want to do surgery at this point, but who knows, it may change, but I doubt it.
Step 1: 23X; COMLEX 1: 55X
Obviously, I'm only interested in categorical positions.
I read and understood that NRMP data is out there for osteopathic students. For someone with my step score, the match rate for ACGME is ~72% right now, which is very discouraging (isn't it risky?). But less than <50% chance for someone with my COMLEX score. However, with the merger happening, idk whether it hurts/improves my chances. So any input would be greatly appreciated! Especially for those who recently matched.
Also, I have another red flag in that I am in the bottom quartile in my preclinical class.... How much will this affect me?
And ultimately my question is this: what are my chances?
