MSIIIs (and others)
Definitely agreeing with busticate on this one. Ditto on all he said but I'll add one thing. I think that the single best source of information about whether you're competitive is your program director at your home school (assuming you have an ortho program). Other attendings, depending on how much they are in the admissions loop, can be an excellent source as well. Obviously no one can prevent anyone from posting whatever ridiculous thing they want to post on this board, but I would be extremely pragmatic about any information posted here.
Hopefully the MSIVs on the board will do what others have done in the past and post their credentials, where they interviewed, publications, where they matched, etc after match day. Then you will see exactly what busticate said, that people with great numbers can struggle and people with lesser numbers can excel and everything in between.
