Hey everyone, looking for some feedback on how to improve/chances:

M3 at a top 20 school
Step 1 = 260+
M3 Grades so far = H in OB/GYN, HP in Surgery and Peds, P in Anesthesia
Pubs = 1 Ortho paper, 1 gen surg abstract, 4 posters (1 national Ortho), 2 podium (both national - 1 Ortho), currently working on a basic sci pub & another Ortho pub
Fun fact = developed an app concept in med school & presented it nationally (won competition)

Frankly, my fear is the HP in Surgery. My shelf score missed the cutoff. I dislike being neurotic, but appreciate any constructive feedback. Thank you!

You'll probably get a million interviews unless you're a weirdo

LOL - well that's somewhat encouraging. Thanks for the response, tho.

"I dislike being neurotic"

Well you sure are good at it... You are a top tier candidate and you know it. No one will care about your HP vs Honors with the rest of your application.
