Hey guys, I apologize in advance for the length
~230 step I, 1 high pass (neuro) rest honors so far (med to go), not very well respected midwest school (MD), 2 projects in works although looking less and less like they'll be published come ERAS, 1 great LOR so far, no AOA, like to consider myself a like-able person and very hard-working.
2 questions:
1) Definitely need to kill step II; i have med now and then easy rotations through may with MS3 year ending mid June. As I see it, I can take Step II and possibly kill it end of June, then have July, August, Sept for aways. This comes with the chance I don't kill it, and am screwed. OR i can take Step II after a month off in July and certainly kill it... but then only August and September for aways with any chance of getting LOR's (from what i've read, Sept. aways are pushing it to get letters in on time.) I would do an away in October as well though I'd get no letters out of it. Thoughts???
2) I want to maximize my interviews via my aways, so I am wondering given my stats so far what is the best place in Northeast to do an away at where I can A) get LOR that other Northeast programs will care about and
have a chance of matching at. So many programs in New York I figure I'll do one there somewhere... but where? Thoughts?
Thanks this is a huge help.
