I'm not sure how many more applicants there are this year but my home institution received around 800 applications which is up from last year by %15 or so. Looking at past data the Step 1 average continues to increase as well. So "yes" it is getting more competitive and it is more difficult to separate yourself from the average. I posit that rotations will become more important in the future and institutions will be inviting fewer non-rotators and rotations applications will be getting screened more extensively. Just my .02.

Any sense for how competitive ortho is going to be this year? For people with interviews, have you heard if there are more applicants than last year? I would be interested in the trajectory ortho is on from the perspective of current applicants.

Thanks.

Can people post their stats along with # of pubs so we can get a realistic view for people who will be applying in the future

That's excellent. Could you let us know how frequently the pubs and graduate degree come up, and in what context, after some of your interviews? Good job, and good luck. Thanks for sharing your info.

Seems that a lot of schools in the NE have yet to send out invites, esp. NY/NJ. Maybe Hurricane Sandy set them back a bit.

My stats are not above average for ortho (Step 1 <240). My application strengths are having a graduate degree, several 1st author pubs in a related field, and I improved ~30 pts on step2. I imagine my other grades, letters, etc. are very similar to most applicants.

Applied 65
Interviews: 9 - 8 offers and 1 interview while at away rotation

Seems very regional. I know people with 20 interviews and people with 0. I think its super variable right now.

Chin up! We will get through this awful process!

Glad I applied broadly because the offers have been so random. Rejected from lots of local places and invited to places where I never thought I would be considered. Lots of great programs are yet to invite. Good luck to all!

Agreed that it seems to have slowed down a bit in the last 1.5 weeks, hoping for it to pick up again in the near future! In looking at last years threads it seems that late November/early December was a hot time.
