Hi! I'm a current MS3 and was wondering how I should best prepare to apply for an IM residency at a selective program. While I am not particularly set on any "tier" of residency program, my ultimate goal is to pursue a fellowship and become an academic physician and it seems like institutional pedigree/name can help a bit in that regard. I have an average step score and a significant amount of research, but I worry that my step score might hinder me from those top-ranked programs and was wondering what I can/should do in the next year to make myself a more competitive applicant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
