I took a research year, and now I'm worried I've forgotten things on the clinical side. Any advice on what to do?

I've been looking through Greenberg, but it's kind of dense for getting back into the groove of things.

Anyone have a good playlist or Pandora station to share?

Looks like downgraded to 2/yr, rumors of low volume...

Thoughts on Colorado? Especially in terms of operative volume and what people thought during Sub-I/second looks

I met with the chair of my department, and my assessment is that he thinks I am a very weak candidate basically because of my step 1 score.  He told me that to be competitive I need to take Step 2 early and do well and do 4 away rotations.  This is an impossible task to do before Sept 15 though as we don't finish third year until June 30th.  Is it time to look at other options?

Step 1: 226 (I've know since the day I got this score that I wrecked my chances of matching, but I've just moved on and forgot about it until my chair basically belittled me over this)

Grades: Mostly Hs in everything

Research: tons, 10 NSG publications, mostly 1st and 2nd author.  Presented nationally and internationally.  Several research grants

Letters: relying on getting 2 from aways, and will have 2 home letters that should be very strong (long relationships)

Aways: ? I was thinking home, top caliber, and lower caliber.  Chair said I need 4 though.

School: Top 40

I was wondering if anyone could list a few schools for each step 1 score. Obviously there are many other factors but let's assume average everything else (grades, research, LOR).
What would be good schools to apply to, and a safety or two for each of the following:

260+:
240-259:
220-239:
210-220:

Obviously top programs if you scored a 260+. Really just looking for a few schools in the other categories. I'm assuming no programs if <210 but please add a school or 2 for this category  if you think they would still have a shot and should do a sub-i.

Thanks!

What percent of graduates are going on to do fellowships after residency?

Is it necessary to do a fellowship with all programs now being 7 years?

Anyone interview at BIDMC. It's a new program spread out between BMC and BIDMC. Wondering what the volume is etc.

KHi guys

Has anyone done a subI at Uchicago?

I am currently finishing up my MS3 year and on my surgery rotation.  Just finished my NSGY sub-rotation and absolutely fell in love.  Really cannot see myself doing anything else.  The problem is that I never considered this possibility before and don't really have any legit research to speak of.  

I have a 255-260 Step 1, top 10% of my average-ranking SE US MD school, am junior AOA, and have great 3rd year marks.  When it comes to research I only have 2 poster presentations on some basic science immunology stuff; no pubs.  

Should I give up on the idea of NSGY entirely?  Should I consider a year off? The idea of not matching terrifies me.

Thanks!
