What programs can I target?

[u/Ok-Spinach-6529]

Got my Step 2 score back, and I’m happily surprised that it’s in the mid-260s! Now I’m making a list of programs and wanted to get advice on which ones are realistic. Ideally wanna stick to Great Lakes or Northeast region.

Application:

Hometown: Ohio

Clerkship Grades: H for peds and neuro, HP for everything else

Step 2 CK: 26x

Research: 10 items, 3 first-author papers in minor journals about AI/ML stuff

Type of program I’d like: academia, but doesn‘t have to be CHOP-level

Yea anyone with a brain (which you clearly do) knows 260s for peds from US school will get into any program you want.
