Hi all,
I know already.... another what are my chances. So I have been pretty much ortho the whole time through medical school with radiology in the back of my mind. Just finished ortho rotation, really enjoyed it, but not sure it's for me. Anyways, some stats....
Step 1 258
AOA
Honors all clerkships thus far
Honors Year 1 and 2
Ortho research (2 years of ortho employment w/ research before medical school and summer btw 1st and 2nd year): Including 1 publication, 1 abstract, 2 presentations (all research was radiological analysis)
Middle tier (I think...) medical school in the midwest.
What are my chances of actually matching into a good program in California like UCSF, UCSD, Stanford (originally from California, midwest only for med school)?
I hate to post this, but kind of in a bit of a pickle. Trying to decide whether to actually give up on ortho for rads this late in the game.
