Going into the application, I wanted to match into OBGYN but was really struggling with the lifestyle and the future of the career. If you apply for multiple specialties and rank them you have to be 100% ok with matching into that specialty. I was talking to one of my friends from a US med school and they said something about a 'Match Advisor' I just laughed because I wish our school had something like that! It's ultimately a personal decision on how many specialities to apply for. I didn't have someone to sit down and tell me where they think I should apply based on scores etc. What was frustrating the most to me during this process was the lack of guidance I had.

Think long and hard about how competitive you are for your desired specialty. One that they really wanted and another as a back-up. Many of my friends applied to at least two specialities. I also used FREIDA for all residencies it has a lot of good information as well.

For OBGYN the apgo residency directory was my greatest resource, you can click on filters by USMLE scores and then click on each program individually to see M/F ratios, IMG #s etc. If you have competitive scores then you may have the luxury of picking and choosing. (Some require you to have ECFMG certificate before interview some don't, look at their website).

If your scores are below the average for that speciality then I would apply to every single one you qualify for. While this is a lot of money to invest, this is a process you only want to go through once so casting the net wide is very important! It's also dependent on what speciality you are hoping to match in and what your USMLE scores are. How many programs do I apply to? It's hard to say.after talking with a lot of my friends most of us applied to around 120-140 programs. This is the 100 million dollar question when applying for residency. Number of programs to apply for and resources on how to research
