Help with IM signals

[strugglinmuggle]

MD from mid tier TX school

• step 2: 274
• got AOA and GHHS
• tied for 1st in my class
• honored all clinical and preclinicals
• solid letters from IM attendings, including a program director and dean of my med school
• research: no peer reviewed pubs, 1 pub in online health magazine, 3 abstracts, 5 case reports, 1 oral presentation, 10 poster presentations
• significant involvement in advocacy around public policy (specifically LGBT issues) including resolutions to the AMA. was on national AMA committee on LGBT affairs.
• volunteering: unique experiences related to the LGBT community + standard other activities

My concern is my ability to break into top programs due to research. Most of my app is centered around advocacy related to HIV care.

Thoughts on if signaling Yale, Stanford, Beth Israel, UTSW, and Baylor are reaches?
