I was wondering about the following situation: What if an applicant has just average clinical grades from 3rd year, but did very well in an ortho rotation (with good recommendations from faculty)? Would my performance in ortho help overcome the rest of 3rd year or not? (also, I have avg pre-clinical grades and just below avg Step 1)

If your grades in the first two years are average, your third year grades are average, and your board scores are below average; you are in a difficult position. An exceptional orthopaedic rotation will only help you in one program not all the ones that you should be applying to. 1) Quickly get involved in research. 2) Take part 2 of the boards and rock them. 3) Make a set of contingency plans if things don't work out.
