Greetings all, I have found this forum to be a great resource so thanks to all contributors. As an MS4 with ERAS open, I am searching for a bit of advice. I have read that many ortho hopeful students are now applying to anywhere between 50-80 programs. I'm looking for input on my chances and advice on how many programs to apply to based upon my application.
S1: 249
S2: 258
Clerkships: honors on all
Jr AOA: no; eligible for senior
School: non-top 40 NIH; small southern MD school with no home ortho program
Research: 4 submissions (all ortho, unlikely to be published by the Fall), 1 publication (non-ortho), 2 oral presentations (1 ortho), 2 poster presentations (1 ortho)
I do have 3 away rotations lined up beginning in August. Thanks and good luck to all!
