Let's just say it's more competitive, like already written above.

It is substantially more competitive with a higher proportion of AOA, higher average publications, and a average step 1 score at least one standard deviation above those specialties. That being said, the top programs in each of those fields probably have a fairly similar array of stats. Also, moving to hSDN

Why do you keep posting threads like this when (a) you are many, many years from this even being close to applying to you, and (b) the information can be found with a decent search and a few minutes?
