actually, i would like to get some info on this also...i am an IMG, so i don't think that i will just get an interview everywhere. but, i would like some better info to guide me on where, how many to apply to.
my stats:
34 y/o male
195/78 step 1
234/95 step 2
top 5% of class
3.9 clinical gpa
3.1 basic sci gpa
3.4 overall
great LOR's from dept chair at my school (czech letter) american PD of FP program, and american chair of ob/gyn dept (but also at the FP program)
strong deans letter
1 oral presentation for some research, assisted on some urogyn research (measured angles on US and did lots of editing)
i plan to apply to several CA programs, actually shotgun most of them. but, what sort of programs do i have a realistic shot of at least getting an interview. say i submit 15 CA applications. how many others and of what caliber should i apply to to make sure i get enough interviews? i am thinking that CA is tough, and i will be pretty happy to get 5 interviews out of 15....i would like to have at least 20 interview offers...any advice?
also, if anybody out there thinks i would have a good shot at the program you are in, send me a PM and give me the scoop. i would love to learn about your program!
thanks!
