I think I just blew my shot at matching ortho, any advice?

So, I plan on applying for orthopedic surgery. I just sent out my away rotation apps. I have a very competitive application including board scores, being top of my class, and several publications. However, I just received a remediate pass in my general surgery clerkship because I forgot to turn in a couple of pass/fail assignments that were in the appendix of my syllabus. They were these e-module didactic things and I thought I had completed them, but I failed to check the appendix because, well who ever actually does that? I honored the COMAT and received exemplary marks from all of our residents and those who worked with me during the rotation.

Any advice, insight, whatever?

You should ask on the ortho subforum.

Does it show as a remediate pass on transcript? Sometimes what you see internally doesn't reflect that way on the transcript.

That won't make or break you at my program. Get your away rotations set up and do well on them. With a good application and solid away rotation performance, I bet you will be fine. Get a copy of your official transcript to see how it shows up, and if it shows up as a remediation, explain what happened and take responsibility for the mistake. Good luck!

Good call. I will post there. Thank you.

Yes, unfortunately.

Thank you. I needed that.
