Esteemed colleagues. I am a DO student looking to apply to midwest EM programs. I'm from MN and would like to return if possible. I just received my USMLE/COMLEX scores and they are 220/570 respectively. I have 5 years EMS experience (does that even matter?), research, good ECs, etc. Assuming I do above average on Step 2, do I stand a chance at ACGME midwest EM programs?
I'm specifically looking at Mayo's EM program. Is it as competitive as I think it is? I tell myself that it's competitive, but not hyper competitive due to the MN weather (which I adore). I worked there as an ED tech for a year, no clue if that helps my app at all. Would love to hear from someone familiar with the Mayo program.
I'm also interested in most of the midwest programs:
Both Wisconsin programs
University of Iowa
University of Nebraska
Advocate Christ
University of Illinois programs (Peoria, Chicago)
etc. etc. etc.
Would love some advice on whether I stand chance applying ACGME, or if I should apply AOA. Program recommendations are welcome! Your advice is much appreciated. Cheers
