Anesthesia School List: Feeling worried
Hi everyone,
I've been freaking out that I've perhaps built my school list too aggressively and just wanted to pass this by you and ask for your advice.
USMD mid-tier
Step 1: Pass
Step 2: 259
Preclinical: Pass (Pass/Fail)
Clinical: 4/7 Honors (includes medicine/surgery)
No AOA, No GHHS
Top quartile of my graduating class.
Research: 9 research items total Global health research project never went anywhere but I thought it was cool. 1 posted in anesthesia, (switched late into anesthesia) 2 current projects in anesthesia (LOR discusses involvement)
ECs: pretty mid but decent mix of teaching, volunteer/service
Unique background: unique background where I worked 4 years in unique fields before medical school. I'm proud of my non-traditional background and I think it ties into anesthesia well.
Aways: 1 done at a highly ranked program in my list, 2 more aways go to (also within my list)
LOR: 1 departmental anesthesia letter, 1 away letter in ICU, 1 general medicine letter, 1 anesthesia letter
Any advice would be super appreciated. Thank you.
