Couple of questions:

1) When applying to PRS with GS back-up, do you need to get separate LOR/PS for each application?

2) Do I need to do an away in both PRS and GS?

3) If I do an away in PRS, don't GS programs see this and kinda wonder about it?

Thanks!

1. If I don't do any GS aways and all my LOR come from my home program, does that weaken my backup GS application?

2. Would u recommend 2 PRS and 1 GS away? maybe this would solve the above problem

3. How do I make my PRS app as strong as possible without ruining my GS chances? it would suck to not PRS match and then end up at a mediocre GS program

Tough position. You probably need to find someone who's gone through the match for General Surgery. I can't give very specific advice. Ultimately, if Plastics is really what you want, you should give it your best effort.

Follow-up Question: Any thoughts on getting all my GS LOR during my third year clerkship to free up time for PRS stuff fourth year?
