Hi, guys. I had to delay ranking Ophtho programs this year for familial geographic considerations, and will be reapplying this coming cycle (with the geographic concern no longer being an issue). I was wondering how much being a US grad (I am starting my PGY-1 year in July) will stigmatize my app. As background:

Step 1: 263
Step 2: >270
Clerkships: Honors where possible except for one 4th-year IM subspecialty elective (HP)
AOA: yes
Research: some, but unimpressive

Thanks for the input!

EDIT: sorry, just saw that there's a thread right below this one addressing the same Q. I'll copy/paste in that thread.
