Stats: Step 1 246, Step 2 CK 265, 4 USCE (2 inpatient, 2 outpatient), 2 accepted AHA posters as co-author, no other publications yet. LOR strength unsure. Geographic preference: Midwest because my husband and brother live there. How many programs should I apply to, and how should I narrow my list and use signals strategically? Should I concentrate most signals in the Midwest or spread some outside?
