Hi all,
next year, i am going to apply for residency programs like many third years. i am concerned that i lost my chance for selective programs. due to my poor performance in first year, i had to repeat the year and told that the residency directors will know of the repeated courses. however, i did well on the step 1 (got>85% range, >235). so, am i doom for selective/good programs?
i haven't really made up my mind in terms of what i want to do yet, ut like to have some options. also,i attend mid to low tier MD med school.
i'm just not sure how important the first year courses and the grades in residency selections. some say that not at all as long as step 1 is great, regardless rather i repeated or not. some say it comes into considerations and will take note of it. i would appreciate if anyone clearify this
