Step 1 - 223, Step 2 - Taking in August
Clinical: Psych/Neuro, OBGYN = Pass; Surgery= Honors; Family Med=HP; Peds and Med=Pending
Research= 1 publication in Ortho with possbily one more before applications

I am in the North East region and would like to go residency in the North East or DC area. I know my Step 1 pretty much rules out top programs. Any suggestions on programs that I have a chance? Any suggestions on programs for aways?

Thanks!

apply very broadly, you have a good shot wherever will interview you, take step 2 early and do really well, get a good mentor in ortho that will speak for you, and get honors (or more importantly, work hard and get along well with residents and staff and make them want you in their program) in all your ortho rotations (including aways). the equation is the same as it is for all the other people that have 220s on step 1.
