I'm a DO student applying for IM in the upcoming match and don't really know where I fall in terms of competitiveness. There is no residency advising at my school. I have a 253 step 2, pass level 1 and step 1, middle of the pack in terms of class rank. Still waiting on my level 2 grade. Honored IM, HP everything else. 1 pub, 1 poster publication, and some volunteering, but nothing really special in terms of ECs. Based in NYC, would like to stay in the northeast if possible. Are low tier academic programs in the cards for me? I'm thinking places like Uconn, Stony Brook, Umass, Nyu long island etc, or should I stick to community programs?

Step 2 is solid. I would apply broadly to the NY and see what comes of it.

Why would you not apply based on what people say on the internet. Your app is good enough I’d say, just throw out apps and see what happens. Apply broadly, matching is a numbers game
