I got a 90 on my part 1 and want to go into ortho should I retake
Honestly, Unless you really have something else going for you, I don't think a 90 is good enough for ortho. Are you #1, Proffit's grandson, with multiple published articles? I don't think a 90 will cut it...not for ortho right now.I got a 90 on my part 1 and want to go into ortho should I retake

OMFS might be slightly easier to get into (with a 90) than Ortho...sheerly due to the number of surgery programs out there!
If you've done a couple of internships, have a reasonably high class rank, and are willing to go ANYWHERE for OMFS - I say it CAN totally be done with a 90. Just spoke to some OMFS guys at my school and they said that applications have actually been on the decline for the past 2 years. So that might help too.
Ortho on the other hand...well...most places won't even bat an eyelid for applicants with a 90...unless you're #1,#2, or #3 in your class.

A 90 on the new format is very respectable,
