Current PGY-3 categorical gen surg. Intern absite 17%, second year 1%. A valid reason for the significant decline, but I hate making excuses. Working heavily on some research with 2 presentations, 3 publications all field related with multiple in process. Working with some well known surgeons in the field who will hopefully vouch when the time comes, and have historically been good at networking and interviewing. Overall above average for my year based on feedback, but this absite is the anxiety inducing Achilles heel.
Obviously a heavy study schedule has been put in place to increase as much as possible this year. Given CT is an early app, it looks like it will be my last exam before application. I will apply and interview everywhere.
Any advice as to prospects regarding matching, how to compensate, etc? The match statistics for CT last year seem to present an uphill battle from a numbers game perspective. Thanks!
