Couldn't find any related example when searching, so I'm hoping someone can help me out here. M3 with 1.5 year preclinical so I already have both steps done. Only issue is I have 2 preclinical remediations. Otherwise I felt my app was pretty strong and should get good letters from my home program too. My question: should I delay by taking a research year and really crank out more pubs or network or should I be ok applying in the coming September? Just looking to get an academic residency somewhere, don't really care about the tier.
STEP 1: 250-255
STEP 2: 265-270
Preclinicals: P/F, but had to remediate 2 courses which will show up as RP.
Clinicals: Honors in IM, Neuro, OBGYN, and Surgery, High Pass in FM, Peds, and Psych.
AOA: unlikely
Research: 8 pubs in Vascular surg, 2 in Ortho (decided late in 2nd year to do Ortho, but hoping to have more by Sep if I apply in the coming cycle).
Thanks in advance everyone.
