Okay. One more I wanted to ask. After doing one or two electives in a speciality like neurosurgery, what are my chances of getting a residency at Hopkins assuming I impress the faculty over there? Also assume I get top scores in the Steps (99/99). Will I have to do more hospital work/research in the US before applying to get a successful match or will the previous electives and good scores suffice?
