dont let earmuff mock you. your chances are obviously 64.5%.

all joking aside, lets be real here, path is pretty easy to get into and you will get in unless you apply to, like, one place and that one place is, like, harvard (or whatever path's version of harvard is.,.. i dont even know) you'll have your hands dirty with poop in no time.

I suspect your chances will be impacted by the things you are not listing (references, communication skills, other experiences, publication/research record, etc). The board scores are good but many programs want IMGs to have step III completed, I believe.

I am preparing for my step3 now
I will try to get LOR when I do my observership
i do not have any publication or research experiance

I was also curious... what is the path version of Mayo? 🙄

 

[Algernon2]

The path version of Harvard is obviously Harvard/MGH.

 

[KluverB]

Are you sure it's not Harvard/Brigham and Women's? 😛

A lightly wisked egg and butter mixture.

literalists . . . can't joke with 'em, can't escape their magnetic personalities.

i thought Penn was supposed to be, if any, *the* dept in Path (?). ehn, its a ridiculous discussion . . .

it all depends who you're asking... and who cares, any way? i'm at Penn and i don't care. I just want to pass my stupid boards and get a real job.

DAMN i'm cranky. i guess it's the fear off the 25/35% fail rate setting in...
