I am afraid that I am not going to match. So far I only have a couple of interviews while I applied to 40 programs. My step I is 250, AOA. I did not apply to any community programs and i think i applied to too many competitive programs. Did I make a mistake? Should I have applied to more programs?

I have interviews at many of those places and I am not AOA and I am not even close to 250+. But my application has alot more going for it than just the "numbers".

yuppers.. you'll see , there's going to be dates that are mega conflicts... the residency coordinators will go nuts calling people and stuff.. It's just starting to be that time of year (it's the most wonderful time of the year!)

im a resident at pitt and got to look as some of the applicant whom got interviews. There is no doubt that board scores are high across the board but that is really just one part of the process. Personal statements letters of rec all shed light on type of person you are. One thing for i know we look for is people whom are cool under pressure. So on your interviews dont stress. You cannot worry about things that are not under your control. Be yourselves just relax and present yourselves accordingly. Being hungry and coming off weird or desperate dont come across well. Guys I know its stressful, but you already put the work in step 1, clinical rotations, ortho rotations. Try to enjoy the process, have faith in the most high and things will work out. God bless and good luck in the match, you all will get there if its what you truely want.

By "most high", to you mean the chairman of the department?

The highest Step 1 from last year that I heard of was in the 280s.
