Hi everyone,
Sorry to post another thread like this but I have been really struggling with my specialty choice and am wondering if I even have a shot at ophtho.
I am an MS3 at a top 10 MD school. Got a 257 on step 1. I was thinking about peds before third year so I have research in neonatology but no ophtho research although I am willing to take a year off to do research. My big worry is that I got a high pass in both medicine and surgery, and I go to a school where about 50% of the class gets honors.
Given those clinical grades and my lack of research (so far), do you think I even have a chance?
Thank you!!
