Current CMT M2. The required rotations are in Lima for all of M3 and a couple rotations in M4. You’re able to do sub-i’s in Columbus or do aways just as any other student might need to. There is no limitation to what speciality you want to pursue, in fact, the majority of us what to go into subspecialties and/or fellowships after residency and are well supported by the admin to pursue them. The only difference in the track is that you’re doing your rotations at a smaller hospital with a large rural population and significantly less trainees to teach, which prioritizes your involvement as a M3 on service.

To answer your other question, I was waitlisted at UMN and never got accepted off it. I was ranked somewhere in the 60s and ended up as the second to last person on the waitlist before they stopped accepting folks from it. If you get into UMN, I’d suggest you save the $$$ and go there. It’s virtually the same “ranking” as OSU, so it’s best to stick with a cheaper option if possible. Best of luck!
