Hey guys, this is my first time on sdn. I am trying to apply for general surgery residency next year and wanted to gauge the strength of my application/what are realistic expectations for where I could land.

My Deets:

State school
Step 1: 241
Step 2: taking in few months
Clinical grades (ABC system): 4 As and 2 Bs (IM and Peds)
MSPE comments: pretty happy with these, some of my best comments actually came from my B grades, which is bittersweet haha
Not AOA
ECs: lot of volunteering and organization leadership
Research: 10+ posters, 4 non first authors, 3-4 pending first authors, 2 oral presentations
Other: couples with someone doing EM and similarly competitive as me

Go to the surgery forum and ask this there. There’s probably a WAMCs just like there was one for medical school. General surgery is not that competitive and you’ll very easily match as long as your step score is above 220, you’re an AMG, and you don’t have any red flags. Now matching a top place is a different story.
