Hi! My GF (and soon-to-be wife) got 94 and 92 for her steps1 and 2ck. I'm wondering if, given these scores, she will have a good chance of getting into a respectable university-based or university-affiliated FM or IM residency program, preferably in NY, MD, PA, OH, MI, IL. Can you please recommend FM and IM programs (university-based or affiliated only) in those states that accept these scores?
It's so difficult to plan our residency application because we are aiming for the couples' match and we have somewhat different score ranges (i got 99-99). So we will try to apply only to programs/hospitals where BOTH of us have a good chance of getting interviewed. Any info that can help us decide where to apply will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

we'll probably raise our kids to become businessmen/women, and spare them the harsh realities of medical school and residency. plus, there's bigger bucks in business.
