Hi all,
Newly-minted 4th year at a mid-tier US school, applying to surgery. I was fortunate to get a 247 on Step 1, but my clinical grades are another story: 2 honors in medicine and psych, but looking like all the rest will be HP. (I'm considering fighting one, and the other is still pending.) 1 have one pub and another in the works. Are my clinical grades going to seriously hurt me for academic programs? If it helps, I'm applying primarily to programs in the south.
Thanks all!
