Hi everyone,
I'll be applying into PRS this upcoming cycle, and after some scouring on the boards search, I didn't quite come across anything particularly timely.
Should I take Step II before interview season or delay with not much change to the following other than maybe one or two more pubs? I scoured the charting outcomes from 2014 and I seem to be right on the bubble on the 75% range, and wasn't sure what kind of distribution of top academic institutions that was made up of. I am hoping to continue research as a heavy component during residency and practice and was looking for any advice specifically in regards to chances in academic focused institutions.
Step 1: 254
Surgery, Internal, and Family honors; rest high pass @ top 10 US Allopathic
~12 pubs (7 specifically in PRS), 5 abstracts/presentations
2 LOR ready to go from productive PRS faculty (one is chief of department), 1 LOR from general surgery
Any advice would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks!
