Just wondering if any ENT California residents/staff out there could give me an idea of what my chances are at getting into an ENT program in California. Here are my stats:
- Step 1: 254
- AOA
- 3 publications & 2 abstracts, but nothing yet in ENT
- Not at top 40 NIH med school (LSU)
Currently I'm a 3rd year at LSU but my wife's family lives in CA and we really want to go to residency near her family. I know CA residency programs are traditionally very difficult to get into, especially if you're from out of state. Any ideas of my chances at getting into southern CA ENT programs like UCLA, USC, UCI, or Loma Linda? I'm planning on doing probably 2 aways out there, but would like to do them at the 2 places I'm most likely to get into. Any thoughts? Thanks for your input.
