Hi Chemamr...heres the "standard" answer to your "classic" question:
As many as your finances permit...
Actually, if you are careful in selecting programs I believe even a chunk of 30-40 should be good enough...if you prefer to 'play safe'...go for ~50-60....if you are "filthy rich" and wanna squeeze in any way, anywhere, 70-80...and I know guys who went in for a whooping 100+ (wonder how they found out sooo many programs worth wasting money after)

Hi,
AMRIT!..go ahead and apply with step 1 and step 2, if you do cs in November you may have your grade by the time they interview, but as long as you have step 1 and 2 go for it, don't wait another year, try for 2007match.
Best of luck

hey anyone going for neurology... i think shifting to nrmp made it more confusing for applicants... but i also think they would be giving more prematches? just a thought.. since they would like their applicant to have a chance to rank their pgy1 in the same area...??
