Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting after a long time lurking. I know that this has been asked several times and maybe even answered, but I wanted to ask it for those people who don't have Step scores in the 240s and 250s.
So my case is an average third year student with average step scores who loves anesthesia. I'm probably right in the middle of my class and my STEP 1 is 228. I've got a stellar LOR from a CT surgeon. I'm going to have a great letter from an anesthesiologist and I'm working on my other two letters right now.
So my question to you guys is the importance of an away rotation for a student who has lived his whole life in Texas. I'm fine with staying in Texas, but I would prefer to leave the state. Right now it would be difficult for me to schedule the away rotation, but I could make it happen if necessary. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
