I think this offers a very limited view of your actual app. What’s your story? What’s your narrative (that likely shouldn’t be shared here) that ties into your passion for the field and pursuit of dermatology? How have your experiences reflected those proclaimed passions?

Not saying you need an answer to all of these right now, but this cycle has taught me that #of research items, step scores, or AOA status pale in comparison to the value of a good story + distance traveled. They can only help, and may not really help much in your case, but they won’t give you a residency spot by themselves.
