In general, I have P's, rare HP's, and only H's in Spanish. I had a poster as an MS2 at the PAS convention and won an award for the same poster at my med school, which isn't highly ranked.
Step 1: 222 (92)
My possible end-goal is to specialize in child abuse or nephrology (waiting 'till I actually do peds nephro or start peds residency to decide).
I know I can apply everywhere but was hoping to get some advice from people who have similar backgrounds or who just know because they've already applied and heard back... so very confused, and I'd really really appreciate any advice. Also, should I take Step 2 CK ASAP? (earliest I can take it would be July 2008).
1. With my average grades and Step 1 score, do I honestly have a shot at any name programs like Denver or Cincinnati? (not the, my friend's friend failed and got in...type shot)
2. If not, where in NYC would you recommend? I feel like anywhere would have a huge patient load, but not necessarily great teaching.
I can't do an away at all the available places, so I was hoping for some guidance
