Question 1: I want to do IM, and I know that categorical is 3 years while preliminary is 1 year. How should I decide which one to go for?
Question 2: how many programs should I apply for? My friend said he'll apply to 100 programs (which is about 2 grand), the difference between us is I am a US citizen while he needs a visa. Given the fact that I am a citizen and have 2 years of US clinical rotations, should I spend 2 grand on the application to apply to 100 programs? (my credentials: step 1 80, 2 attempts; step 2 82, 2 attempts, CS passed 1st attempt).
Thanks for your help
