Narrowing Down Your Choices

When choosing what programs to apply to it is important to use your network for advice. Reach out to mentors, vascular surgery program directors, division chiefs, research advisers, current fellows, and residents. It is also important to determine your competitiveness and be realistic in your choice of program. Fellowship applicants should typically apply to at least 20 programs, including 5 safe schools.
