Realistic possibility??????????????

How about low Step scores (in the low to mid 200's), big shot LORs, worked in Ortho office for 1 year, multiple publications and presentations (first author in a couple of them) in spine surgery...for an ortho residency.

Low to mid 200's??? You mean in the 200-205 range or the 200-250 range. If the former, I'm sure you realize you have an uphill, but not impossible battle. The other things in your application are plusses, but it may be hard to overlook a poor showing on the one objective way to compare candidates when there are so many well qualified candidates out there. Talk to your mentor/advisor at your school. Have a backup plan, but go for what you find interesting.

Are you also already a resident (as it says under your name)?
