Hello!
I applied to IM with below average scores. I applied to over 150 academic programs (basically I went to each state and picked any program affiliated with an university). I haven't gotten any interview invitations and got rejected from a lower ranked program already.
Stats:
School: Top 20 US MD
Step Scores: 207 Step 1, Step 2 CK (pending), Step 2 CS (passed)
Grades: P in medicine core, H in SubI. Rest is a mixture of P, HP and P.
Research: 5 peer reviewed publications in IM, Urology, Pediatrics. A ton of posters, oral presentations, etc.
AOA: No
Rank: Bottom 50%
My question is, should I be applying for more programs right now? Are programs waiting on my Step 2 CK score? If my Step 2 CK score comes out in mid October is that going to severely limit my interviews (because most of the Interview invitations have gone out)? Thank you!
