I'm about halfway through third year, planning on matching into EM. Step 1 was 252.
Clerkship grades so far:
Psych : A+ with very good narrative evaluation
Neuro : A with phenomenal, very long narrative evaluation, very detailed
Family Med : Pass with phenomenal, very very long narrative evaluation, very detailed
Surgery B+ : with generally positive but not particularly unique narrative evaluation
Surgical subspecialties : Pass with generally positive evaluations
I'm on peds now and it's been going kind of rough so far. I feel like I may not get great evals because I was wiped out from just finishing surgery for the first few weeks and I made a few small mistakes and just generally didn't make a great first impression. Things are going better now but I'm worried peds isn't going to go great and I'm freaking out about not getting an A in surgery.
I haven't thought much about what residency programs in particular I'd like to apply to, but I'm worried mostly because my husband is graduating business school before I graduate and will have a job somewhere by the time I'm applying, so I need to be a strong enough applicant to match somewhere in my top 3 so that I can make sure we end up living in the same city.
Can anyone tell me if I'm right or wrong to worry? Is a B+ in surgery and (maybe) a B/B+/A- in peds bad enough to screw up our plans, or am I just being a lunatic?
