just wondering if it's like the same 30-40 people getting interviews? it seems that way on this forum at any rate.

I think many people who applied will get the interviews eventually. IMO by checking that interview's tread you can simply meet most forum active members - people who like to "voice". By the way this is not busiest online forum.
Check this match statistics.

You will see they had a plenty of applicants with scores less then 220 who has matched. It is just matter of locations and time...for some of us

I think you need to look at the big picture. There are probably 600 or so medical students applying for the 500 or so spots. They are not all on this forum posting all their info....you are just seeing a small sampling of what is really out there. Not all medical students are as neurotic as we are (checking this site every 5 freakin minutes!!)....

By the way this is not busiest online forum.

So what is the busiest forum then? I'm sure there are many people who check this website but don't post their info. I think it's helpful though to know when schools send out invites and when they send rejections. It's nice to know where you stand...good or bad.

he meant that not everyone applying visits this, or even if a lot of people to visit, they dont all post. I do think that this is probably the "busiest" site geared towards ortho residency (a pretty specific topic not important to too many people in the big scheme of things)
