Background info: DO, Step 1 220's, Comlex 510's, 1 case report in neurosurg, and strong letters.
Obviously this is all below average. Is there anything I can do in this case? Abandon ship? I don't want to sink all my time into this doing elective rotations if there's no chance of ever getting into a program. I entered medicine thinking I wanted to do Family Medicine. I hated the idea of Neuro and the thought of being a neurosurgeon was a joke. I thought I would love being a PCP, being on the front lines, working with community medicine. Of course, I would end up loving Neuro and neurosurgery is a blast. The adrenaline, the cases, the skills, the call, somehow this stuff is fun as hell. If I knew this in the past, I probably would've not gone out as much and spent more time studying, but it is what it is.
