Hello to all,
I want to live in San diego more than anything, hence my interest in the UCSD anesthesia program. I know there have been threads on California programs and how competitive an applicant must be.. Well Im asking the question to you all, what are my chances for landing a spot in UCSD without doing an away rotation there? Im currently at a top 40 medical scool in the south, with these stats:
Step 1 - 257/99
Step 2- N/A
-Some anesthesia research on fluid therapy
-Years 1,2 grades - All honors and 1 HP
-Year 3 grades so far: Surgery-H, Pediatrics-HP, Family-H, Internal-H
- I was recently nominated for Junior AOA, top 10% of the class qualified, but I didn't make the final, top 5%, cut.
Is it possible to land an interview there without doing an away rotation at UCSD? I was planning on doing one, but my wife will be delivering our baby around the time I had planned on doing it, and I don't want to miss the birth of our future son/daughter!
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
