Looking at the residencies that set graduates up for research-heavy academic careers, it seems the majority of residents come from top medical schools. While this doesn't bar other students from these spots, I am curious how networking can possibly improve one's chances. I feel like *all* gunners are going to try to kiss ass to whatever their top choice program is (even before subI) and it will be pretty difficult to stick out among others if your top choice is one of the top programs.
Am I wrong about this? Can anyone provide examples of how they managed to get leverage a connection(s) for a residency position at a top/academic program?
