I'm starting third year and just got back my step 1 score and it was 232, a surprising disappointment given my practice scores, but what's done is done. I became interested in neurosurgery late last year, and therefore I do not have any research, other that some poster presentations in an unrelated, non-surgical field.
Where I realistically stand? What do I need to do to be able to match? I'm obviously not gunning for top tier residencies, but should I start looking into back-up fields? (I do have other interests, but NS has recently become my #1). Any help at all would be appreciated, a lot of the data I've been looking into is from years ago.
