My Previous post asking about reapplying I appreciate the feedback and thoughts.

talking about program choice.

My thought process was to resignal programs that I did interview with last time. But this time signal them higher. Example last time they were a gold keep a gold. Last time a silver, this time signal a gold and change who I signal for the rest of the 15 total. And still apply broadly. I feel like the 15 signals are a psudo application cap.

What are yalls thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I am a DO at a community hospital with no in-house program

USMLE 246/254

COMLEX 712/668/913

4 publications (not all GI)

15 poster presentation (ACG and local conferences)

Last cycle I applied/signaled only community programs and ended up with 6 interviews and unfortunately didn’t match.

Due to family commitments I need to stay in a the same geographical area so I’m really re-applying to the same programs

I am now taking a chief year position at a program where I did interview with their GI program. But how do I write about it in my application since apps will go out basically the same time I start.
