School: unranked state school
Steps: 218/244
Clinical: H in Medicine and Sub-I, mostly HP in everything else
Interviewed: USC, UIC, BU, Montefiore, Dartmouth, Rush, Beth Israel (NY), Drexel, Lenox Hill, NSLIJ, Downstate, RWJ, UCI
Matched: Temple (#5)
Anything special: not really
Advice for future applicants: apply broadly, go on as many interviews as you can possibly tolerate, be very cautious about reading into any post-interview feedback you get (got burned by my top 2 choices). I think my Step 1 score held me back, not necessarily my school name, so make sure you rock your boards. Doing well on Step 2 helped get me a few more interviews though. Rank everything, SOAP is not a pleasant process from what I've heard. IM is becoming a huge crap shoot from what I've been hearing from a lot of my classmates.
I would really like anonymous to contact me privately! It seems like we have the same stats and had the same interviews and matched at our 5th or 6th place. I really need someone to talk to rationalize this harrowing experience.
