Hey guys,
First year DO here in a respectable DO school. I am hoping for your opinions regarding EM competitiveness. From the grapevine, I heard that EM is getting more competitive (as a matter of fact, residencies are getting more competitive on the whole) and I would like to prepare for my battles. So, what do you say for a reasonably good applicant with hopefully > 230 for USMLE step 1 and all the paraphernalia? Be as honest as you can please, I want to see the reality as it is rather than what I want to it to be. I am trying to calibrate my perspective; while I am shooting for what I want, I don't want to be emotionally crash and treating whatever that I get at the end of days as second choice.
For your information, why I am so set for MD programs is my visa concern. I am Canadian and would love to live permanently in US (i.e. H1b visa), preferably somewhere warm.
Thanks
