what specialty?

I think a 235 will definatelly get you a lot of interviews in ortho. Yes it is a competitive specialty but I think above a 240 pretty much gurantees an interview anywhere assuming you also did well in 3rd and 4th year. A 235 is pretty damn close and will probably get you into all but the top programs, at least for an interview.

by the way...just checked the average board score for ortho at my school is 224..you should be in good shape

 

[Howard Roark]

any good links to look at average board scores for different specialties?

 

[AlexRusso]

I dont know...found that one on my school website. If you hear of any let me know. I'd like to see them too.

That's just for Derm though. Is that what you wanna go into Jalby? How about other specialties? Anyone?
