Hello, I'm really depressed about my step 1 score which is a 199. I had my (like) father die about a month before and I had to delay the start of my rotations because of it but regardless i got a 199- first pass. I am a US grad in the top middle of my class, I speak 4 languages including Spanish (I'm sure this could help) and all I want to do is gen. surgery. It doesn't matter where; community hospital or Ivy league or BFE, I just want gen. surgery. Any idea on the likelihood of achieving a gen.surg. residency spot? Any advice on how to make myself look more appealing on my application? Or what type of positions to apply for (prelim/categorical). Currently I'm in third year. All advice and critic are welcomed. Thanks again for your help.
