Requesting help from all seniors please. I am really keen and passionate about surgery but looking through this forum I am now disheartened and worried about the prospect of getting into the general surgery residency programme. I studied in the UK and have worked a year in the UK as an FY1. I will be extremely grateful if someone can advise me on whether I should go for surgery despite the bleak prospect of getting in, or is it time for me to think about other specialties such as internal medicine which is statistically easier to get into? Thank you very much
