80 programs? Perhaps you could carve out some that you feel truly are out of your reach---unless you really want to leave no doubt in your mind that maybe you could have gotten in (I feel like a 219 Step 1 will keep you out of WashU, Duke, etc as an IMG)
 
sorry for taking this thread over but I have one more question,

many programs have min step 1 requirement of 220, and I have 219:depressed:

is there anything that I can possible do to effect that automatic screening out?

and does not participating in ERAS mean that program is less competitive? bad?
