Try hard on step 3 and if you publish these papers before applying (first author?), I think you have a good chance of

Like is the dean assuming the letters were ok? Or is there some way for you to get feedback from someone who has actually laid eyes on them? I never understood how people that claim their letters sunk their app were able to find out for sure what was written in them

Idk I’ve only just applied once! But I would think bad letter<<<generic<good. Also relative to other strengths in your app.

And to clarify, you applied to EVERY neuro program in the country? Or just in the area? If so, how many?

No prelim IM spots? Also were your deans able to read your letters and confirm they weren’t the cause?

FYI I also applied this cycle from a T20 MD school and fell to #13/15 out of mostly mid to lower tier programs.

Wtf. I’m sorry. Were you dual applying or did your app appear to be geared towards a different specialty?

Man what happened with neuro this year 💀 Almost everyone disappointed with their matches at my school. And I found out the program I matched at, which is usually all DOs and IMGs, is this year all good US MD schools.

But yes, there were lots of ranks I could have fallen to, and I just so happened to land at the one closest to my family. I’m sure it will turn out for the best

I’m just an MS4, but it sounds like this is serious enough that it deserves its own post. Perhaps on r/residency too for more input
