I am just trying to gauge how many Pediatric Residency programs I should be applying to and if I am applying to programs that are out of my reach.
USMD -decent Midwest Medical School
Step1: 242
Step 2: Pending (9/14 release)
Research: 3 publications + 1 poster presentation
Volunteer: Okay nothing spectacular
Top 25% of my class
I am currently planning on applying to 20 programs. Many of them seem to be on the more competitive end, Univ Washington (Seattle), Northwestern, Colorado, Columbia, UTSW, Michigan, Vanderbilt etc. Should I be applying to more programs? And should any additional programs be less competitive
