Not sure what to tell you. The most recent SF match data is here: https://sfmatch.org/PDFFilesDisplay/Ophthalmology_Residency_Stats_2020.pdfHi all, I’ve been interested in ophtho since MS1 and unfortunately my step 1 is way below my practices (tanked real deal mid-pandemic). Got a 22x
I dont think these standardized tests are my strong suit..
I go to a midtier MD school on East coast and don’t mind location when it comes to matching. Doing fairly well on rotations so far. Away rotations may or may not be in place for my class though due to COVID.
That being said, is all hope lost for matching ophtho?
If you do apply for ophthalmology you should also apply for a backup specialty. Your chances of matching are low unless you have a ton of ophthalmology publications, a PhD, connections with well-known ophthalmologists, and/or a home department that will keep you.Hi all, I’ve been interested in ophtho since MS1 and unfortunately my step 1 is way below my practices (tanked real deal mid-pandemic).
