Hi all,
An advisor suggested customizing personal statements for individual programs.
Fine, but doesn't this seem a little disingenuous? Of course I'm applying to many programs I'm really excited about, but it's such a tough applications process that we are all applying to a ton of places so we can just match somewhere, and programs surely know this. Is this customization expected?
Not to mention the statement is so short that it's hard to figure out how to fit this in...
What are your thoughts on this?

Saw another thread on number of programs to apply to. Figured its a good question to ask as well
Step 1: 242
Average medical school
13 pubs, 18 combined pubs/presentations/posters
All honors in 3rd year
What should I be looking at in number of programs? Named NE programs out of the question (BWH/Penn)?

Hi all,
I'm an MS3 at a Midwest MD school with a S.O in NYC. Step 1 ~260 , will probably make AOA, with 3 publications (1 first author, 2 second author). I am hoping to do three Sub-Is: One at NYU, one at NYP-Cornell or Mount Sinai, and perhaps another northeastern program like Jefferson or Penn. Would doing two aways in the same city hurt my application geographically outside of places in the Northeast? Should I only do one away in NYC?

I wanted to get a general idea of how many schools I should apply to. Any advice from residents/prior applicants? Here are my stats:
Step1: 256
Total abstracts/pubs/posters: 4-5, mostly NSG related
average med school, no home program

I hear residents talk about scores in 300ish or 400ish zone, but they don't talk about percentiles. Any good estimation for percentiles from raw scores? What is the raw score cutoff to pass?

Anyone with any insights on USC recently? Have my sights set on the west coast and looking for a program with heavy operative experience. Have only heard good things but looking for some more opinions.
