Hi all, I appreciate the input upper levels have been contributing to this forum.
I recently found out I had only “passed” all shelves except one “high pass” in peds. Is this a death sentence in neurosurgery? Stats are 242 step 1, 26 neurosurgery pubs (handful first author) I’m from a new west coast MD school with no home program, but have solid letters from my neurosurgical mentors. Step 2 results are pending. I’m not interested in the UCSF, Barrow, or Columbia’s of the world and would be happy to train at any program. My goal is to be the humblest, kindest neurosurgeon possible with superior clinical and operative skills.
If you were an M4 in my position what would you do?

How important is having the option of rotating at a VA hospital when picking residency programs? Can anyone speak to how valuable/not valuable the operative training is?

It seems like a lot of people might be taking research years in order to avoid this cycle. What do you all think that will do for competitiveness this year? What about next year? How many rising 4th years reading this have decided to postpone their application a year?

Anyone successful after forced resign coming back to neurosurgery within a year or so? What did you do to get in?
I plan on getting my MBA in the meantime, creating a startup and emailing programs q3months to see if they have an opening. I’ll probably go to neurosurgery conferences and maybe hangout with a local department. My thoughts are is it a waste for the opportunity cost of doing research or going to meetings if it’s not going to help get you in in the end? Should I pursue another speciality?
Thoughts?

i notice a lot of grad doing endovascular fellowship but not open. Can any senior residents or recent grads comment on how useful/marketable this is for securing a PP/hospital-based practice? Do you have to do both to get an academic job?
