FMG NSG Chances

[throwaway9999999999]

I just got back my Step 1 score yesterday and ended up with a 264. Can I still try and apply NSG categorical being an FMG or should I go the general surgery route and then try for neurosurgery fellowship? I'm going to do all the basic needed thing like US clerkships and LORs etc. Just wanted some advice on which route I should follow. Thanks!

This isn't a thing.

This isn't a thing.

Is it even worth it to go through a GS residency then reapply for a NSG residency? That's 11 years straight up

What? No. Why would you do that? And it would be 12....

Yeah, that was exactly my point. I thought the OP wanted to do that.
