Arthropathy,
Sorry about your marriage. You didn't really comment on how much you were settled on ortho, but I'm assuming that you're like most of us and wouldn't be happy doing anything but. Your case generically falls into the category of the girl whose mom had cancer, etc (check out recent post 'personal statement advice...' The good news for you is that while she had to repeat a year, you just have a few passes and highpasses to show for the wear it sounds like. If that's the worst you did while going through something as colossal as a marriage meltdown, then you did quite well. Just really do your best to show that your loss of academic prowess was only circumstantial and kick a#$ from here on out. As you'll likely see on Thursday when we all start posting our credentials, where we matched, etc, you're not in any serious trouble over this. Best of luck/
OF
