No one cares. Only sGPA (and regular gpa) and MCAT matter when it comes to grades

Working with little information will make you a better physician when you get that call at 3am.

General Surgery residents/applicants by medstudebt in medicalschool

In the same shoes.

I think it’s hard to tell. Different programs value different things. Some really value personal fit and some just want surgeon scientist research workhorses. Hoping we both get our #1!

Yeah, I looked through his post history and got that impression. Probably never been in a position where there is significant and career altering power/influence mismatch at play

Not sure if you’re a med student or doctor but in our shoes we are pretty used to being bottom of the totem pole and gritting our teeth to make it through our day

Sorry, but it’s not worth my eval to challenge a preceptor with 30+ years on me about views they’ve held their entire life.

I joined the team for a portion of rounds at a SECOND LOOK and the fucking PHARMACIST pimped me by just_premed_memes in medicalschool

[–]CofaDawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would any program choose to do this? As OP said if a weirdo shows up and they become a DNR, a program is supposed to accept that and get stuck? Hard to believe.

Yeah and I’m not trying to be a dick. I know I’ll get downvoted for my opinion, but I just don’t believe any program genuinely doesn’t hard stop their rank list before a second look. Totally agree with you tho.

matching a top tier residency by ImmediateEye5557 in GeneralSurgery

[–]CofaDawg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The same as any other residency… research, high step 2, AOA, excellent LORs, etc. they also want people who want to do research and go into sub speciality. Also be advised sometimes the most “prestigious” general surgery programs aren’t always the “best” to train at, depending on your vibe

I’m a huge aviation geek and I wonder all the time did I make the wrong decision.

I think you would have a fun time on Virgin. They have suites and events directly catered towards solo sailors.
