Yes, I know this has been asked multiple times over the years, but from what I read from old threads, this specialty seems to be ever fluctuating. To get to the point, my stats are:
-step 1 = 222
-GPA - first 2 years at exactly class median, this third year an A in anesthesia, A in a 2 credit elective, B's in everything else except family medicine which was an AB
-no extracurriculars unfortunately
-interesting family background and raised in inner city urban setting (planning to apply to a program from the city which I grew up for residency and staying in that city for my career)
-not going to take step 2 until end of my fourth year
1) What are my chances of matching and having some decision as to where I want to go in the midwest?
2) Is it reasonably manageable to have a 40 hour week once out in full practice?
3) Is there a way to tell how competitive a particular program is? I know this sounds simplistic but wanted to gauge where I may be.
Thanks so much!
