i'm a current med student with a strong interest in dermatology. the catch: i go to an unranked, no-name, low-tier school. my school's previous matchlists show 0-2 people matching into derm, usually just 1 or none. this could equivalently refelect a low number of people from my school applying for derm, but that is not clear.
the bottom line: assuming i do well on step 1, get good grades and recs, and take up derm electives, will i match or will my school hold me back? i just can't imagine being that 1 person from my class who matches into derm...it just seems so unlikely. (also, my school does not have a great derm program, so i'd prefer to match to another institution, possibly out-of-state)
thanks for any input, it really means a lot.
