Star M3, research question, and realistic programs?
Posted by: Guest - 07-13-2018, 07:41 PM - Forum: How to prep for applications - Replies (3)

Just started M3

step 1 : 255
Grades :  top 10% of class
Research : (neurosurgery related) : 1 chart review, 1 case report,
(endovascular stuff, not specifically nsurg) 2 Abstracts, 1 poster, 1 first author pub

I go to a mid tier midwest state school


Aside from more good grades, LORs etc. do I need more nsurg specific research?

What programs are realistic for me to match at?

Do most residents buy a house or rent during residency? For those who bought, what price range did you buy?

  Turf Wars

Are there any turf wars that are currently occurring or some that might occur in the future? Which pose the biggest threat to neurosurgery? On a scale from 1-10, how safe is neurosurgery from their turf being yanked from beneath them?

  Advice for ms3 year to improve chances
Posted by: Ns hopeful - 07-04-2018, 03:28 PM - Forum: General interest - Replies (2)

Hi all. So I came into Neurosurgery kind of late right before my MS3 year. I was wondering how I should approach the next year to try to get a residency? I emailed a bunch of people about neurosurgery research but no luck so far. I worked on a project in another field for a year and got 2 posters/presentations out of it and am submitting for a pub (not guaranteed) but the NRMP data shows average around 15 research experiences!! How the f*** anyone can do that boggles me as I had to pry and beg for my meager 2 presentations. Is it easier to get research third year or am I missing something? 

I looked at the match outcomes for 2018 and it said 47/48 matched in the 251-260 range (I got high 250s) but not sure if I trust that.... I go to a regular state school (no big name) with a NS program. I have no interest in taking a year off. Getting into UTSW or any of the programs in Houston (I found 3) is my goal right now. Thanks in advance.

Anyone with recent information on the sub-i experience at UCLA?

Looking for remarks on clinical learning (shadowing vs hands on?), research opportunities, interview/rank chances after rotating -- but any details are appreciated.

Looks like step 1 avg went down to 245, #pubs went up to 18

Thoughts?
