Hey everyone. I am not trying to gauge my chances at any particular places but I am trying to figure out how many applications are recommended for someone like me, or how many applications people in the past match sent out.

I’m a DO student with:
240+ Step 1 (550+ COMLEX)
Step 2 is on the way
Honors in all but one 3rd year clerkship
3 LORs (2 IM, 1 Rads PD)
Couple poster presentations, and two first author manuscripts in submission. (Neither rads related).

Again, not looking for specific chances but how many programs should I apply to? Don’t mind being anywhere but would like to be in the SE/SW/MidAtlantic ideally.
