I ended up with a 245 on Step 1 and currently in my second rotation. Pretty happy with the score considering the state of the world and having to reschedule numerous times - but Im not sure where I sit with the more competitive specialties. Are specialties with avg in the high 240s still within reach and if so what kind of programs can I expect to be competitive for? What should I work toward in terms of step 2, research, and volunteering? I literally know nothing about matching and with everything being virtual and unpredictable, my school hasn't had an opportunity to teach us what to expect. Like where do I go to learn about these things? Anyway, I don't know the outcome of my first clerkship yet, but most likely at least a high pass. Have research but the first paper I'm on is under review.
Please help.
URM, MS3, have a national professional society research award currently under my belt, top half in all of preclinical, interested in academic medicine and moving from a current mid tied institution to a top 20 program... IM is totally okay too if I can't match into a procedural specialty.
