What do you think the range of board scores could be. i know it has become popular recently but are ppl running to get into this specialty? what's the future with pedo's doing ortho?

Not sure what you mean with pedos doing ortho...a pedo can do as much ortho as they feel comfortable doing, as long as it meets the standard of care as an actual certified orthodontist.

People get in with any range of board scores so it's hard to put a specific # on it. If you get 90+ and have a decent gpa you really stand a good chance at matching...anything less you may get some interviews. From there it's just a matter of fortune and personality.

Simply, yes. The popularity and recognition has soared, translating into more applicants for residency spots. It's more competitive than ever.
