Well, quite simply, competetive residencies require a competetive application. MDs match with lower scores than DOs in some programs. DOs match well in rads and anesthesia. Do well in school, get in the upper half for class rank, do well on Step 2 as Step 1 is pass fail. Play the match game well. If you do above the national avg for board scores in anesthesia and rads, you will match, and probably well.
