Just curious what everyone thinks is a good number of programs to apply to in order to ensure matching for FM? At this point I have about 25 programs on my radar that have everything myself and the family want or need. Kinda of feel like applying to more than 25 is just a waste of money. Am I being naieve here? Hard to say with step/level one being pass/fail now. I am a third year DO student with good grades and some leadership and other experience under my belt.
