US MD at Low-Mid Tier State School.
So I'm applying to IM. I'm paranoid about matching because I had to repeat a class in MS2 and didn't get the best board scores (210-220 Step 1 and 230-240 Step 2).
I'm applying to ~60 programs and basically getting mixed messages. Some are saying 30 should be enough and others are saying that the more I apply, the better.
Is this a possible scenario:
I apply to 60 programs, get 25 interviews, and have to cancel like 10 of them.
Would cancelling that many interviews be a red flag in and of itself? Or is it not an issue and programs don't care about interview cancellations?
Advice Plz. Trying to submit tonight or tomorrow morning.
