I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this - I've never posted, just a long time lurker.
I'm a 3rd year MD student. I got my results from my June 9th exam today and I got a 193. Pretty unexpected and much lower than I was scoring on my practice tests, but what's done is done. I'm really nervous about matching now, so is there anything in particular I should do to improve my chances at matching in peds? I go to an allopathic school (top 50 - not sure if that means anything), I have honored about half my classes in my first two years, on the board for our diversity in medicine organization (I'm Hispanic), on the AMA board, research abroad after M1 and lots of clinic volunteering. I know that I still have my whole 3rd year, but this score has really worried me. Like I said, I'd like to match into a peds program locally (NYC or Long Island - husband/family live here), but the competitiveness of the program isn't really important to me. I would really appreciate any input! Thanks.
