Was under-qualified, applied to general surgery. Didn't apply to any "back-ups" because it was my life and I was sure I would do anything to be a surgeon. Fast-forward a few months and surgery lost it's luster in December (after doing a few aways) but by then it was too late to apply to other programs. Got only a few interviews. Had to repeat a year, 200-210 Step I, 225-235 Step II. Did great on my aways so feel like I have some connections there I can call on. Met with my school's Family medicine and anesthesia programs.
Don't know if I should be targeting prelim surgery, prelim medicine, family medicine? Should I be getting new letters? Rewriting personal statements? PDs haven't been super helpful as they've had no experience in the SOAP.
