Anyone else getting supplemental application emails after ERAS was released this morning?

I have research published but it does not have an issue/volume number. It says "online ahead of print". Is that a publication or is that inpress? just want to make sure I put it in correctly

I know all NS is hard, but I don't want to flog myself unnecessarily. 

So what are the places that are the most cush/least intense?

I know:

Mayo -- all 3 locations seem good
BNI -- I believe so
Cleveland Clinic -- I believe so
Stanford

What other places?

Thank you all so much!

Sorry if I missed this, but is there already an excel file for the 2022 application season? Like previous years.

My surgery clerkship isn't until the end of 3rd year, but I have a chance to take a neurosurgery elective which is essentially an AI in a couple months. I have no prior neurosurgery (or any other surgery) rotations and PD recommended I do this to see if it's the right field for me. Should I wait until after my surgery rotation to do this AI? I feel totally unprepared and am very worried about my performance.


Brutal honesty appreciated. Want to do the best I can do prepare (practice suturing, reading, etc) and not be an undue burden on the team.

Thank you.

I am thinking of doing NS research with a PD at a mid-tier program. 

I know the benefits (get to know a PD). 

What what are the cons?  Would it be better to do research with a NS who is not a PD? 

If I do a shit job and fuck up, will the PD tell other PDs about me???

PD = program director

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
