I find it quite humerous that if you do poorly on step 1/2 and you cant get any competitive residency, that you have to spend the rest of your life in a career that makes you learn the stuff you didnt know well enough to do well on those exams and get a better residency.
It's like making you pay for your sins for the rest of your life.

Haller,

I am a firm disbeliever in this, read my recent posts. I'm trying to get people to stop talking so much about scores, we'll see if it works.

There are back ways into ortho too:

Gensurg (painful) --> plastics (OK) --> hand surgery

or:

some podiatry residencies (Yale) do ankle/foot trauma if you really have your heart set on ortho.

All im saying is that i think it's wrong and i know that it is possible even with low scores, ive seen it, but it seems funny that your being judged on a topic without being tested on it.
I personally dont think scores matter much , as i have seen peers get in to programs with low scores. But it doesnt matter what i think.
