I am an American Medical Student who is applying into an advanced program requiring a general surgery preliminary program.
I was hoping to live in Chicago for my preliminary program, but only received one preliminary interview for Chicago, but many in cities along the West Coast.
Do you recommend I rank only my one Chicago preliminary surgery program and use SOAP to scramble into a general surgery prelim position if I don't get in? Looking for any information on the likelihood of scrambling into a surgery prelim year.
