hi tgs...

yes, it is extremely difficult to get into surgery in the US.. but its not impossible....
if u get phenomenal scores... u might just get lucky..
contacts in this field in the US will also help..
but i think its will be relatively easier to get in india, if u r prepared to work hard..

good luck

graduation from US medical school wont guarantee a surg residency.

excellent scores + citizenship/ Green card /+ good contacts is the best way to get a surg categorical postion.

i hope you know that for surgery , they have a pyramid system in US....you can get dropped from the program if you are not the best....its risky, length and tedious.

another way of getting into surg residency is a doing ms in india /+ MRCS from UK....frcs trained candidates had a good chance of making it to surg programs earlier...but these days, you get only MRCS degree....
work experience in the filed of surgery is of great value and comes in handy while applying to US general residency training programs

well ya doin ug there makes a difference but if u hav not still done ug than u cant decide whether u wanna go for surgery.
doin ug there means that u dont hav to give USMLE exams which makes a lot of diff.
but ug there is very costly and takes lot of years so it will b better if u think about it after inquiring enough about that
