I'm an MS3 and recently became interested in psychiatry, but am concerned about my chances of matching. I scored a 205 on Step 1. I have no publications except for an institutional poster on a topic related to psychiatry. I simply *passed* my psychiatry rotation, *passed* medicine rotation, and have peds/ob and surgery rotations next. I've got some good community service and leadership stuff, but that's about it. I will take step 2 before applying.
Please advise. Should I be concerned about my chances of matching at the following programs: Georgetown, UMd, UVa, or EVMS?
The other specialty I'm considering is peds... but with my step 1 score, I'm worried that I'll have an ever harder time matching where I want to go (at the programs listed above). I do have a genuine interest in psychiatry for personal reasons (lived through mental health issues with a family member), have done some research in addiction psychiatry, and worked in a community mental health agency before med school.
