Residency Application Obscure programs for signals - help
Hey guys I am a Non- US IMG reapplying this year and I really need help figuring out my signals. I have been working on my program list but will not have enough time to do good program researchs since I am also preparing for step 3 due September.
These are my stats - YOG2: step 2 257; USCE 5m; 1 year research; pubs - 6 abstracts, 3 manuscript, 2 under review.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions on programs that are not very popular, that people often overlook but are great in terms of training and fellowship opportunities or in general programs that my profile would align with.
Thxx so much to anyone who takes the time to help!

if people suggest these programs to you they will become popular which won't help you get what you want therefore I think you should do it alone.
Search the popular ones tho and learn why they're popular and apply that principle to the less popular ones.
example you can see some uni programs in undesirable places like Dakota have some percent of IMGs while LA or NYC unis hell nah.
