Maybe this is a stupid question but I made a 218 on STEP 1 (about 20 points lower than my practice exams, I got screwed), anyway, now that I have accepted this score, what IM programs would be completely out of reach for internal med? I was looking at Chicago and they all seem super competitive. Seattle also seems like it would be out of reach. I also really liked Missouri and North Carolina and Portland. I know I will probably get into a place in my home state (Louisiana) but my boyfriend is applying now and I'm trying to explain to him that we should still look at places together, but now I have to take into account that I did way worse than him and I'm less competitive as an applicant. Trying to find cities that have multiple programs for IM so that my chances are better and I'll also be doing aways at whichever program he goes to.
So anyway, what places should I look at and what is probably not possible for IM with a 218?
