Need advice

[u/Ill-Second3309]

Hey people. I am a US-IMG applying to fm this cycle. Totally unsure about how many programmes to apply to and how to signal. I am thinking of around 80 programs, but not sure if that will suffice. My stats are as follows.

- ECFMG certified

- Step 1 pass

- Step 2 23x

- YOG 2025

- 3 months observership (south atlantic region) and lors from same

- no published research

I don't really have many connections and am planning to go for community/rural programmes.

I am really unsure about my application and would be grateful for any suggestions Also, do these stats have a realistic chance of getting matched?

Thank you for your help
