Meaning top residency spots (eg. MGH) and/or residency spots in competitive cities (eg. NYC, Chicago, Boston) in General Surgery or Neurosurgery.
Of course no school is going to be a ticket to Matching in these but some schools might give an extra boost on name recognition, being able to use connections the schools have with those top institutions and obviously the professors and research opportunities are going to be different at Cambridge than at Aston. But either way, which UK schools would you say would fit into the category where the application reviewers are going to consider you as a serious, competitive applicant? I've seen some residents from Ireland - specifically the RCSI and some from Greece but not much info on UK stats, any info?
Oxford, Cambridge are no brainers but how about Imperial, Edinburgh, Glasgow, UCL, King's etc.?
