Everyone I know has received interview invites while I have 0. I applied to 60 programs and thought I had great stats. Not sure what is going on, but with deadlines approaching, I fear the possibility of not matching. Perhaps my LORs are not very strong-I am very quiet and tend to hesitate when on the spot. Not sure what to say but I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to provide advice. I do not go to a top 5 school, did not score >260 and do not have any pubs (only 2 posters).

Correct, this was what I meant:

After doing some research, there are plenty of unfilled PRELIM positions in gen surgery each year. I would attempt to scramble into one of these spots. I would then reapply for ortho all while looking for ortho openings. I think a handful of spots open up for ortho each year-some programs are granted approval to have more residents and people sometimes drop out.

Exactly. There was no shortage of solid prelim spots when I had to scramble a couple years back.
