Hi guys,

I'm a D.O student who has applied to 100 IM programs total, majority are community -based , with 10 low tier academic and 20 university affiliated programs. Here are some additional details:

Level 1 410s.

Level 2 410s, after 1 failed attempt.

Didn't take Step1. However, Step 2 is 230.

Had 2 LOAs, first one due to one preclinical class failure. Second one was due to Level 2 failure. I withdrew from the match last year, and now applying as a senior this year by extending graduation.

Passed all clinical classes with good evals. 3rd Quartile.

Should I consider adding more IM or FM programs at this point?

Thanks.

You’ll be okay to
Match IM if you applied broadly and to not competitive places

All you can do is shoot the shot you’re currently shooting.

How many interviews have you received so far?

You pulled the trigger. If you haven't landed a good amount of interviews, you need to add more IM programs and or FM if you have the letters for that.

Should I be concerned if I only have one community IM interview invitation so far?

It’s still relatively early. In a week or two I’d get more worried. But no doubt you should definitely cast a wide net
