Eras Experiences

[guest230]

What type of experiences make for a competitive neurosurgery applicant?

Currently, I have:

• Research (could probably spread into 3 experiences given diff topics/projects)
  
• Hobbies (was planning to use 1 slot for all)
  
• Interest group leadership
  

Not sure what I should be doing to beef up my application? 

I don't have any meaningful undergrad experiences (I had a retail job, if that's worth including?)

How's this for an ERAS experience: you don't match and then get to do this again next year!
