What are my chances of matching?
M4 here halfway through my Sub-I at my home institution. Have 3 more aways with my last one in september at my top choice program.
I’m at a mid-tier state school with poor research.
Honored 5/6 rotations, HP surgery unfortunately.
Step 2: 269
Likely top quartile but school doesn’t tell is for a while. Hopeful for AOA
Research is likely my biggest weak point: 20 total items with only 3 publications with 1 first author (case report). 3-4 items submitted/in revision at time of ERAS but really only 2 of the 20 items are Ortho specific. I had to work with what I had so I did gen surgical outcomes work.
Leadership: President of community health organization and leadership roles in a bunch of other ones.
Volunteering: community clinics and health initiatives
I’m probably being neurotic, but even with “below average” research I’m still quite competitive for a spot somewhere right? As long as I work my tail off on aways over the next few months.
