Hey All. I'm a 2nd year and was hoping to get a few answers from recent grads. I know that there are many posts on SDN regarding grades/board scores, but they all seem to be from over 5 years and I feel like things may have changed.
So long story short, I'm an average student at my school even though I put in a huge effort and am planning on taking the USMLE in order to hopefully get into an ACGME program. I was hoping to get some feedback on how realistic a goal that is. Will my average grades be a hinderance at getting those top competitive programs in EM, IM, or Anesthesiology (current interests).
Thank you for your input in advance.
