try UMKC, they give preference to people who did not match the first try. Of course there really is no such thing as a not so competitive ortho program

You mean Univ. of Missouri KC right?

Worth doing an away rotation there??? Anyone do one there???

thanks bonedoc!

Wow bonedoc, just read some of your replies about UMKC....hard to imagine why you would recc it to anybody????

you asked for "not as competitive" programs, presumably b/c you are nervous about your step 1 score. I did not say i would "recommend" UMKC, just that if you are looking for places that are not as tough to get into, stats-wise, that UMKC does take quite a few people who did not get in the first time around, thats all. Besides, dont sell yourself short yet, apply broadly (and wisely, dont waste money) and see how the cards fall.
Good luck. I would be glad to answer any other questions.
