I'm a third year DO student planning on applying to ACGME IM residencies. I'm starting to do some research on programs and come up with some places that I think I may have a realistic chance at matching. I was hoping for some "straight talk" from those who have gone through this already on realistic expectations. Obviously I will not stand much/any chance at the very top places but I was wondering how competitive I would be.
Preclinical Grades: B's
USMLE Step 1: 23x
Clerkships: Mostly Honors (including IM)
NBME Shelf Scores: Honors (do these get recorded anywhere?)
Research: 5 months of bench research. 2 posters. 1 manuscript pending
Step 2: Pending
Would I be competitive for what's talked about on SDN as "mid-tier"?
Thanks in advance!
