Hi everybody,
Looking for advice about whether I have a good chance at applying for top surgery programs - mostly worried about my lack of research while in medical school and don’t know how much that should hold me back or make me apply elsewhere:
Woman at a top 10 medical school
Step 1 > 260, Honors in all rotations
Clinical letters of rec should be strong, unfortunately don’t have a research mentor or a longstanding letter
3 publications, 2 first authors from undergrad and 1 4th author very low impact paper as a medical student
What should I be doing from now until September to maximize my chances at matching at a top surgery program? I am interested in fellowships, like surgical oncology, and academic practice in the future. Thanks for all your help!
