Hey everyone! I am an M2 who is seriously considering EM (worked in one for a year as a scribe). I was hoping to hear from people regarding importance of grades (first year wasn't great, second is much better) and what scores I should aim for in Step 1. I would love to go to California (I hear that's a popular choice
) but I would be happy getting into a good program. My extracurricular is solid, I don't have research and took summer off however, I plan on shadowing at the ER in my hospital.
Anyway, any advice or personal stories would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck to everyone interviewing!
