Hey all, a lot of the threads I see about matching into IM is just any-ol IM program. These threads also exist pre-P/F Step 1.
So my question is - what do top IM programs REALLY care about?
I'm a M1 at a lower-tier school, and so far I've been doing things I enjoy (volunteering, managing a clinic, etc) while also excelling at my classes.
What else should I be doing? Is the meta just "Kill Step 2 and pump out research" or is there something else to it? Do top IM programs like service-oriented activies (this is what I like doing and plan to continue doing just curious if it's also helpful)?
Let me know your thoughts!
