Hey guys,
I'm a new MS3 that just started my first rotation 2 weeks ago. I've been sold on going into neurosurgery for a few years now, since I was an undergrad. I wanted to ask your advice in terms of what things I would need to do to improve my chances of getting into a good program. I'm not sure as to what I should be doing this third year during the busy rotations. How much research is enough research and what board scores would give me a good shot. I just received my step 1 score and got a 247. I haven't been able to find residency numbers but I know neurosurg is really competitive, and was wondering if anyone knows the cut offs and such things. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
