  Any insight on how to get into Mayo FL or AZ?
Posted by: in love with a teen lolita - 09-11-2021, 02:15 PM - Forum: General interest - Replies (15)

Any special insight into what they are looking for? How to differentiate yourself? I know research and rotations, and i guess step 2, but anything else they are looking for? i attended the virtual open house and it was so great i want to attend mayo but need to know how the fuck to get in. 

Thank you so much

  abstract published vs abstract on poster
Posted by: Guest - 09-11-2021, 11:37 AM - Forum: How to prep for applications - Replies (1)

a little confused  by abstract & poster presentation. 

 Sometimes you present a poster and you have an abstract published on a specific meetings hand book (ex. neuro oncology). Is that a publication of an abstract or just a poster presentation?

  231 on USMLE Step 1
Posted by: ShireTater - 09-08-2021, 04:32 PM - Forum: USMLE - Replies (7)

Hello everyone. I would appreciate any input regarding my chances of matching into neurosurgery. I'll keep it short and sweet:

  1. I scored a 231 on the USMLE Step 1 exam.
  2. I had a family emergency that delayed my entry into 3rd year, as a result, my SubI/Aways time will be cut short. 
  3. The family emergency also affected my step prep and mental focus, so I am anticipating/hoping for a higher Step 2 score.
  4. I will have ~20 publications in the field of neurosurgery at the time of application, including 5 first-author manuscripts.
  5. I do not have a home neurosurgery program, but I have networked with several neurosurgeons who may write me letters, assuming they aren't turned off by my Step 1 score.
Thank you!

  NYU
Posted by: Guest - 09-08-2021, 11:37 AM - Forum: General interest - Replies (1)

How is NYU as a program? I know historically it was a bit malignant, and is more of an operative powerhouse now. Given their smaller complement of residents, 16-18, what is their call schedule like? Are there opportunities for research throughout the years?

  Step 3

Does Step 3 matter at all for residents? Are there any fellowship programs that want to see Step 3 scores?

  DO and MD programs
Posted by: Guest - 09-05-2021, 10:25 AM - Forum: General interest - No Replies

What are the good osteopathic residency programs? Looking for a program that takes both MDs and DOs. 

Do patients really care about being a DO physician? Any DO neurosurgeon, I would really like to get your perspective.
