How early should you apply to VSAS? Should your app be in the first day, or does delaying 2 weeks not make a difference?
Also, I can't find this anywhere, are our Step scores automatically uploaded to VSAS or do we have to request them from the NBME?

What is the pediatric neurosurgery lifestyle like? What's a typical week? How is call usually handled?
What is the case load like? A lot of spine or what?
What's pros vs cons of adults vs peds?

How important would you say the Step 2 CK score is (for US graduates)? I have had people tell me (in neurosurgery) that it's not all that important, especially if you aren't trying to make up for a lower than average Step 1 score. However, the 2016 NRMP program director survey has it listed within the top 5 ranked importance for getting an interview, but later on the majority states they are only looking for a passing score on Step 2 CK. That being said, there was only a 30.5% response rate from neurosurgery program directors, and so I'm looking for some additional feedback and information. (I understand this is likely somewhat program-dependent as well, based on the survey responses.) Source: 2016 NRMP Program Director Survey pages 58-64

Why does neurosurgery never make the highest paying medical specialty lists? What's salary can you expect one year out of residency? What about 10-15 years out of residency? I got loans on loans to pay back.

I was dicking around, waiting for my case to get going, and talking to one of my CRNA buddies. We were talking about movies and both love Top Gun. So naturally, we picked call signs for everybody we work with. What would your call sign be, if neurosurgery had them?
