| Step 2CK for Ranking |

I've heard that a couple more programs are requiring your Step 2CK score before ranking this year. I remember hearing at least one program saying this at the interview but everything is blurring together these days. Since we need to start organizing our rank etc soon, can people list the programs requiring 2CK here if they happen to know? Would really appreciate it

I was talking to my attending mentor who mentioned I should have some baseline hand-eye coordination built from activities such as sports, instrument performance or woodcraft, but how much do these activities actually matter or are they just a talking point for interviews?

I am interested in doing cranial cases mainly and although I enjoy spine as well. However, I would be ok with doing Orthopedics even though my true passion would be intracranial neuro cases. How long would it take me to build up a decent practice of intracranial cases. Is the even possible anymore? Id rather do Ortho if not.

The website never seems to load properly. Anyone with insight? Know when we should hear about AANS abstract/oral presentation decisions?

For emails to your top programs, do you email just the PD or the PD and chair? How many programs is reasonable to ask home chairman to reach out to for you? Anyone else not have time for second looks...

Hi everyone! I'm halfway through M3 and realizing that I really want to do neurosurgery. I know most people don't stumble into neurosurgery, so I'm wondering what's the best way to proceed.
School: top school with a weak home program
Step 1: 265
Grades: all honors so far
Research: all non-neurosurgery
2 first author papers (1 basic science)
3 first author textbook chapters
3 non-first author papers
5 poster presentations
Would appreciate any advice.

Does anyone know anything about applying to any of the Ortho spine fellowships?
While I know neurosurgery gets much better training during residency, it seems some of the better fellowships are with the orthopods (aka Lenke, Rothman, etc.)
