I realize I still have clinical years ahead of me, LORs, Dean's letter, step 2 to consider, but I can't help but think of what kind of residencies may or may not be availble to me. Can anyone drop me a couple ideas or direct me to a website with some information? Thanks

With your step 1 scores:
You will match in IM, Peds., Psych., FP, Ob/gyn at very good to excellent programs.
Anesthisiology, PMR, ER at community programs. Maybe Surgery or orthopedic ( yes, u read it right) at a community program also.
Radiology- risky.
ENT, derm., opth., radio. oncology, urology- very very low chance to even get 1 interview.
Keep in mind i'm assuming your step 2 scores will be the same or slightly higher, and you will have great LORs, perform well in electives, have very good to excellent clinical grades, and you interview well.
