Hi all,
I'm currently a 3rd year thinking of going into internal medicine, and would like some advice on where I stand as an applicant. Applications are just a few months away, and I'm not too sure on which "tier" of programs I should be shooting for.
I've gotten mostly HPs and Ps during my clinical and pre-clinical years. I just found out I regular Passed my medicine clerkship, and with a Step 1 score of 225, I want to know where I fall when applying to internal medicine programs. I haven't done research except for during undergrad, but do have some leadership positions and volunteer experience during medical school. I plan to complete my SubI and Step 2 before September, when applications go out.
I'd like to apply mostly in the northeast area for Internal Medicine, primarily New York. I remember when I was applying for med school, there were algorithms that showed your competitiveness for specific schools based on your MCAT and GPA, does such a thing exist for residency programs in Internal Medicine? I know the average for IM is around a 220, but I'm not sure how to go about picking which schools to apply and how to rank just yet. Any advice would be great! Thanks.
