Ok I'd appreciate some advice real quick. I'm not trying to get a what are my chances kind of thing, but just want to get some understanding. I'm thinking of going into general surgery. Step 1 of 235, have high passed my anesthesiology and ob/gyn clerkships thus far. My school system is Honors, high pass, pass, low pass, & fail (low pass is essentially a fail). I know I didn't do well on my surgery shelf so I am more than likely going to get a pass in surgery (may be able to get a high pass depending on how my evaluations go). question is if I do only "pass" my surgery block how big of a deal is this? I know that 3rd year grades are important and my goal was to high pass & honors all my courses so hopefully i do get a high pass, but if not any advice on what I can do to try to make up for this? I know making sure to knock my other rotations out is important but anything specifically to address the surgery grade in my 4th year? Will doing well in 4th year surgery sub-I's help make up for the "pass" grade? Appreciate your advice.
