Hard to believe my time has come.
Med school rank: 40s
Step 1: 233 (taken 5 years ago, not sure if this factors in at all)
Step 2: In August
AOA: doubt it
Year 1/2: Top 20%
Year 3: H - Med, OB, Med electives (oncology, BMT); HP - Surg, Psych, Peds (all great evals, mediocre shelf scores); Med Sub-I and EM will be this summer
Research: MD/PhD, 3 pubs in respected (but not C/N/S) basic science journals (1 first author), 1 first author pub in review, NIH and internal fellowships, some awards/abstracts/posters/etc
Recs: Should be good, one from onc division chief
Extracurriculars: volunteer/leadership positions at free clinic, some science outreach, minimal teaching, not much otherwise
Trying to make a reasonable list of 15ish schools where I'd be competitive and that would set up well for an academic heme/onc fellowship. Short track preferred but not completely necessary. I don't really want to spend a fortune on applications and interviews, but I'm finding it hard to gauge my competitiveness, particularly since IM seems to have gotten more cutthroat and board scores have gone up so much since my class matched 3+ years ago. I realize the big 4 are probably not happening, but I'd like to know my chances for Penn, Columbia, etc and get some help narrowing the list. Geographically, maybe have a very slight preference for west coast, but pretty open to most places apart from the south.
Working list -
East: MGH, BWH, Hopkins, Penn, Cornell, Columbia, BID, Yale, Sinai, NYU
West: UCSF, UCSD, Davis, UCLA, Stanford, UWash, OHSU, Colorado, Utah
Middle: UChicago, Northwestern, WashU, Mayo, Michigan, Pittsburgh, MN, WI, Iowa
South: Vandy, Duke, UTSW maybe?
