Long time lurker here.
I'm reaching the end of my third year and was hoping that I could get some general advice from the group.
My board scores are in the title. My goal was to stay in the Pacific Northwest (outside of Seattle/Portland is fine) to be close to family and friends. Given the lack of DO programs for IM in the region I was planning to do MD match more out of necessity than anything. I have one IM audition rotation in region set up and am waiting on a few others (though if they had good news I probably should have heard from them at this point).
With that Step 1 score I feel like I'd be pretty high risk to scramble and obviously I'd like to avoid that crap shoot.
1) Is my original goal feasible at this point?
2) If not, what kind of expectation should I have, and programs should I be looking at in the DO match?
Thanks for the help.
