Hi guys. I am a 3rd year medical student, I was just wondering my chances of matching into an Ortho Residency. I have decent board scores (USMLE 244, COMLEX 615). I am number 8 in my class (top 5%). I have won a couple of research awards for Orthopedic Research (just a poster, no pubs). I am currently in the process of setting up some 3rd year clinical research. I have also taken a research honors course, and another honors course in my medical school that basically amounted to at least 4 hours of extra class a week and lots of extra contact hours outside of school. We spent a lot of extra time with trained patients and learning procedures. (I don't want to name the program, because people in my school would automatically know that it's me on here
). I won an award for volunteering 40+ hours in a year. I have done a medical mission trip.
What else can I do strengthen my app and increase my chances? Which AOA residencies do I have a shot at?
