So, I am currently in my MS1. I tore my acl playing sports with my classmates, when we actually had some free time...

Should I have my surgery this winter (3 week break) and have my summer open to do stuff or should I do it in the summer when I have more recovery time??
After this injury, now i think i want to be an orthopedic surgeon heh. Since it is a more competitive field should i be looking to do stuff in this summer?

If your school doesn't have horrible winters I would definitely do it over winter break. Leave your summer free. Don't want to be cooped up in the summer, and it would give you more mobility time to do what you need to do..."stuff". Plus recovering when it's miserable out and you have a ton of schoolwork is 2 birds with 1 stone Not when you have nothing to do but try to improve your resume and enjoy your summer

Winter break for sure. No doubt.

your summer would be crappy.

I think the question is why are you asking pre-meds?

👍
I was waiting for this.

Although I like the hope OP gives me by saying I can actually have fun and play sports, albeit clumsily, as a med student. Yay🙂

Because uninformed opinions are the best type of opinions.

You should probably research.

And more research.
