MS3 considering next year aways. I'm very interested in one particular program because of its location and prestige ("top 10" program). My question is will a 4 week elective in DR or IR help me match at this competitive program? I think I'll get an interview there on paper without an away but, for family reasons, I'd love to have the best chance of matching there.
If so, DR or IR? I will have completed a home IR rotation before this potential away.
Please let me know if you think this will help, if not, I''ll gladly skip out and take my chances with interviews.
Stats: Not a world-conqueror as far as rad applicants - step 1 254, will have step 2 ck score before ERAS, should have senior AOA, class rank prob 10-15, good LORs from both rads and nonrads, and a couple radiology-related publications as first author. Stats are what they are but I know I'll be up against 270's, top 5's, and the like.
I know this has been discussed before, but I can't readily find those threads.
