Help....just got surgery grade back!!!

Relax. You can still match. You need to find out what it was that caused you to just "pass" surgery. Was it a low shelf score? Performance on the floors? Talk to those that evaluated you to get some feedback. You want to get on this before you start your ortho rotations so you can have whatever it was corrected.

The biggest things PD''s look at:

1. Performance on away rotations

2. Step one score.

I know of a good amount of folks who didn't honor surgery who matched ortho the first time (including me). Don't sweat it, but have a good answer if they ask you about it (only 1 program out of all my interviews brought it up).
