Hi everybody,
I am an IMG who applied 90 IM programs already. I only applied IM and nothing else. So I only wanna do IM. Should I also apply preliminary at the same hospital and state that PGY-2 Specialty interest is also IM? Some people thinks that hurts your categorical application, because they may think you are planning to go advance specialty but applying IM as a back up. Is that really true? by just mentioning my PGY-2 Specialty interest is also IM and having all my LORs and PS states about my interest in IM is enough to proof ? or applying preliminary also make me look desperate? so what should i do?
One of my friend who is IM resident told me just apply both , they are so busy they dont have time to think that much in detail.
Please help me guys
