So I want to do general surgery, and I'm trying to determine whether or not to apply to very competitive programs or not. I got 247 on step 1, but I'm not AOA, only have poster presentations, and go to a lower-tier medical school.
First question is, will my step 1 score alone get me interviews at very good programs(i.e. Hopkins, Michigan, Northwestern, etc). Secondly, if I land said interviews, will my lack of a prestigious pedigree hurt me even if I've gotten that foot in the door come interview/rank time.
