Another match miracle!!!
-USMLE Step 1: 210
-USLME Step 2: haven't taken yet
-Non AOA
-No publications as of yet, but +++ research.
Only a few interviews (3)
I sweated out Monday at noon. But thank goodness, I got the good email.
I know I'm atypical, but there's hope for a lot of people who aren't stellar.

Reply | Edit | Del any horror stories?
This thread has shown that people without superstar numbers can match, but I think if anyone has the horror stories of legend where people with great numbers didn't match that they could be instructive to the classes behind us. Anyone know of very qualified applicants that got snubbed despite playing the game correctly (doing aways and ranking plenty of programs)?

Thanks for the wishes, CSSBONES. Good luck to everyone tomorrow.
I just wanted to add some more stats to my initial thread so they are not completely misleading...
I just took step II a couple weeks ago, so no programs had a score for the application, I had like a 3.8-3.9 for the first two years and honored only 3 core clerkships for my third year (neither internal medicine nor surgery), and I don't come from a prestigious medical school. I would say my school is middle of the road, if not lower tier. Hope this helps...
