Although I do agree totally with Dawn1980's point, I will admit that my experience was a bit different. My program director has told me many times that I have too many abstracts but not enough papers and that fellowships would have issues with this. It is probably true, but in my case I had 15-20 abstracts with only 2-3 publications (and I was not 1st author on any of those, and none of the published papers were in dermpath) at the time I applied for dermpath. And I still got a spot (actually I was offered 2 different spots). Also, not a single person commented (at least not to my face) about not having enough papers published or about having too high of an abstract
ublished paper ration. I am not saying this to brag (actually it is kind of shameful that I have not finished more manuscripts!), but I want to put this info out there (despite any mocking it might incur) to help give you an idea of the wide variability that there is in the fellowship application process. I think it shows that no one should feel that they have no chance because of x, y, or z thing about their application/research/experience, etc. But it also probably means that no one should be too confident and think that they easily can get a spot just because they have 20 publications (but I am sure that helps!).
Hope this info is helpful to you. I am not trying to encourage any of you to be as much of a slacker as I have been in getting papers finished, but just know that there is still hope for you if your CV is not 10 pages long!
