Thought I would start a thread where people could post about their experiences on SubIs  this year. Would be incredibly helpful to hear as the interviews start to come in!

  When to plan on SOAPing?
Posted by: dropthesoap - 09-25-2017, 12:02 PM - Forum: How to prep for applications - Replies (24)

My application has now been in over a week now.  I have 0 interviews.  I know why, it is my Step score, but I obviously can't make up for that now.  The rest of my application is at a very high level; however, I imagine my application may not get read or may get a perfunctory glance because I don't have a nsg type score.

-What should I be doing to prepare for soaping?
-What specialties are usually amenable to soaping?

I feel destroyed inside.

  Chair Letter
Posted by: guest23 - 09-21-2017, 07:08 PM - Forum: How to prep for applications - Replies (10)

What do you use for the letter typically from your home chairman if you don't have one? We have neither a residency nor a neurosurgery chairman/faculty member affiliated with our school. Closest I can get from my school M4 neurosurgery rotation is a non-academic neurosurgeon who is not technically faculty our school, just an affiliated hospital.

  Moore Vs Citow?
Posted by: Boarder - 09-17-2017, 09:41 AM - Forum: ABNS - Replies (1)

Which one is better? Moore or Citow? Seems Moore has narrative and Q/A formats too...Any preference?
My take is that Moore's books are since 2004 and I don't want to buy it now and a newer version publishes shortly Confused
