Hi everyone,
I am a DO student looking for for any early feedback regarding matching into psych. I just received my Step 1 score and got a 221. Get my COMLEX score in September and will hopefully get a score 500+. 3rd quartile in terms of class rank, if that matters.
Other than that, rotations have gone well so far, and I'm confident I'll be able to get some good LoR's.
I also have one low-impact, peer reviewed published paper written on Alzheimer's Disease, but no real research. Hopefully I'll be able to write up a case report or present a poster by the time applications are in.
Candidly, I came to medical school to become a psychiatrist. I worked as an addictions counselor at a major academic psychiatric hospital for many years before starting medical school. Hopefully this experience will be recognized in some way by PD's when it comes to commitment to the specialty.
I plan to apply to about 100 programs when the time comes. So, if anyone has a second to provide some premature feedback/guidance/chances (assuming Step 2 goes well), it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
