Pretty high. One of the US women’s fencing alternates is an Ortho intern

I'm actually curious if she's basically guaranteed to get in everywhere, including HSS. Literally every single program in the country would fall for an Olympic champion

I think an Olympic gold medal would be right in the meaty part of the curve wrt the extracurricular activities of HSS residents.

Only extracurricular you need for ortho is the bench press.
