Hi,
Im currently an MS3 planning to apply to General Surgery this upcoming application cycle. Im wondering if I could receive some feedback on what I could improve in my app.
Top 35-50 medical school
Step 1: 252
Step 2: not yet taken
IM: pass
FM: honors
Surg: honors
Psych: honors
OBGYN: pass
Peds: in progress
Neuro: after peds
Research: 5 pubs (3rd to 5th author, all radiology since that is what i thought i wanted to go into for a long time), no surgery research but trying to line some up currently
Extracirriculars: Helped establish a makerspace at my med school, helped revamp 1st year doctoring course during the summer between MS1 and MS2, housing coordinator for applicants (helped pair applicants with students to say with), radiology interest group president
Overall i feel like my application is pretty average. What could i do in the next 6 months to help bolster my application to make me more competitive for higher ranked programs? Or is it too late at this point for any significant changes to occur?
