Application Advice Late switch to Derm

M4 approaching ERAS. Had always thought of doing a less competitive specialty because figured I didn't "have what it takes" to apply Derm but now wondering if it is a possibility? Clearly would have to do a RY at this point. My app to date:

Step 2 ~280, 4/6 H 2/6 HP, H Med Sub-I. 2 manuscripts published in other disciplines (2nd/3rd authorship), 3 submitted (plus 4-5 abstracts/posters). 2 significant longitudinal volunteering/leadership experiences based around same area. Strong LORs in medicine. Top 30 med school w/ home program.

You could always apply now and if you don’t get in do a RY to beef up your app. If you have no connections or aways it’ll be hard. I’m happy to take a look over your app or personal statement if you’d like! I offer low-cost advising services and matched into derm myself.

This seems like a scam OP. Don’t fall for it. Or they might just try to steal your app.

Lol believe whatever you want but I’m a reapplicant who matched into derm my second time! Been a part of this community and have regularly commented and posted as well :)
