If you have some nice basic science papers, more clinical work to top it off, baller clinical grades, letters, step 2 score, and sub-i performance, you could probably pull it off and chalk your step 1 score up to a fluke. However, fuck not matching after doing an MD PhD. Definitely dual apply.

OP here. Scored on a 260s on step 2. Dual apply or not?

If you’re okay matching into your backup specialty, then by all means dual apply. If not, I would apply to every single nsgy program and prepare for not matching/soaping into prelim year. Will need to heavily rely on your home program to make phone calls on your behalf.. hopefully they’re well connected. You’ll likely get small number of interviews (<5, at least 10 if lucky). Choose your aways wisely. Top programs commonly host applicants they would never match, so keep that in mind but their letters may carry more weight if you impress. Good luck

Dual apply. My home program (strong Midwest program) would not even consider you for an interview with a 205, MD/PhD or not

We wouldn't consider below 230s typically.. a phone call can change that
