Hello everyone I'm interested in both IM (GI) and plastic Surgery. Due to the competitiveness of Plastics and my interest in GI im considering dual applying. I am a competitive applicant step 1 258 will hopefully have around 10 to 11 pubs/abstracts/presentations however im concerned that with all of my research items being in plastics that IM programs will think that im applying to them only as a back up and not consider me at all. I do actually have a genuine interest in GI and am basically 50-50 trying to chose. I would like to go to a top IM program so that I have a chance at GI but is that realistic or will most of them think I am using them as a back up and not even consider me?
I come from a low tier USMD (USnews rank 70-80) do I have a chance at a place like UCSF, Stanford, UCLA?
