It’s a neurosurgery forum. Everyone here has a 270 with AOA and 15 pubs and spent six years taking out brain tumors in African children.

Only 270? Actual some of us got 280+

In all seriousness though, I feel like from who I've talked to the average for this match year will be higher. But that's pure speculation.

Never underestimate the power of those letters of rec. I know as med students we focus an inordinate amount of anxiety on Step 1, but they don’t line up the best step scores and pick the top 10 for a reason. The best scores aren’t always the best candidates. Not meant to be a personal sleight, but maybe the programs you’re applying to aren’t ones that want people that just crushed Step.

Try to breathe and take it for what it is. It’s a long process with lots of movement and rescheduling. Multiple rounds of interviews. Definitely hard to remember that on here, but each of you applying to Neurosurgery are doing so because your solid med school track record has allowed you to do so. Have faith in the process, you’ll end up where you belong!

Hey Strat. did you also get cleveland, I am wondering what's the deal, is something majorly wrong with my application or am I too competitive?!

Would anyone be interested in switching interview dates for Cleveland Clinic? I signed up for 10/26 and am looking to switch to 10/12. :-)

I did not get Cleveland clinic. Not sure what is doing it for me. High 250s step I. Below average research. Go to an average state school. I think like others have said - many more interviews are still out for grabs! (Especially at the more research heavy programs)

Guys! some of the schools dates overlap with away rotation (like Cleveland in October). How do you all feel about this? Anybody been through this?
