Hello,
I am a DO student interested in IM. Needed some advice for residency cycle this year. I have to be honest and say I am not the best test taker. I have been a decent student--all A's and B's in preclinical years. High-pass and Honored my medicine rotations in 3rd year. Good comments from all my preceptors, good recommendations, some research and presentations in med school. In top 25% of the class My board scores:
Comlex Level 1: Attempt 1- 395, Attempt 2- 460-480's
Comlex Level 2: Passed on first try - 420-440
I know not the best scores, but what are my chances for AOA IM programs? How many should I apply to? Should I even attempt to do ACGME FM or IM? Besides my low board scores, rest of the application does not have red flags. What do you suggest I do? Any help is appreciated. thank you.
