MS4 from West Coast school applying ortho this cycle and wanted some insight on prior experiences with the match process. Recently had our interview offer day and I ended up getting 10 IVs, much less than anticipating. Most from signals at western programs, might have signaled too many top programs and east coast programs which could have costed me a lot of IVs.
Stats: 265 step 2, AOA, honors on half of clinical rotations (but not surgery), 10 ortho pubs with 80 total research pubs/posters/presentations. Long term mentors who I presume wrote good LORs.
In talking to school advisors, 10 IVs is perceived as an uncomfortable position to be in and puts me at risk to not match. Anyone have experience with around this number of interviews? I could also see a circumstance where less interviews were offered this year due to transition back to in person and signals both being implemented together for the first year. Not a ****post or humblebragging, but legit want to know if I need to put a backup plan into motion. Working on a lot more research over this year and can probably enter a RY through school if needed.
