Okay-
Let me start by saying thanks to everyone who has provided all this great information.
I am currently 4yrs s/p Med School graduation and still haven't done my residency thanks to the US military. I am currently talking to a couple of Anesthesiology programs outside the match, but am going to submit an ERAS application this year in case that doesn't work out.
Looking at everyone's posts in regards to board scores and grades I would say I don't have a chance of getting accepted. Everyone here is obviously very intelligent and motivated. While I'm no duumy, my motivation didn't really kick in till after Step 2. Prior to that I was headed towards a nice Family Practice, now I am reaping what I sowed.
In an effort to save time and money I am hoping someone can point me towards some of the better low/mid level programs that I have a better chance of success with. To give you a reference point STEP 1 and STEP 2 were <200. Step 3 was a 219, go figure. I was in the middle 1/3 of my med school class. I've secured a LOR from an Anesthesiologist that seems impressed with me. And for what its worth, I ran a Medical Department on a Navy ship for 2 years. I would rather not repeat an internship. Location is of secondary importance, but my wife would like to be close to home...Texas.
Any and all comments are appreciated.
