Here is my situation im a US citizen, Caribbean student. I have average step 1 scores 222 and if i was a US student i would be competitive ive heard for most IM programs outside of the elite programs (top 10ish). Im considering taking a 2 year research position (at a top 10 place) since my goal is train at mid-upper tier program. In you guys opinion will spending 2 years doing research make me a competitive applicant for the mid-upper tier programs (again not thinking top 10 places). Or will i most likely be stuck doing residency at a community program like most people in my situation no matter what.
The type of programs im talking about trying to get into are programs like Emory, Vanderbilt, Miami, Cornell, NYU, MSSM, Einstein, UVA, UNC. Maybe chicago programs like U of C and Northwestern
