I know this is taking stock in a lot of different people within this network, but after reading threads in Derm and Uro and Ortho, I'm wondering if ENT is the hardest residency to get into. There's a thread on the Derm forum stating that average matching Step 1 scores are mid-230's, but there are 300 or so spots around the nation. Uro and Ortho threads both say that to match at the most competitive programs, you'll need a 230, but for other programs you can just aim for above average. It was said in an ENT thread that you need to shoot for a 235 just to match, and I think I remember reading that there were only 150 or so ENT spots in the nation. So I guess what I'm wondering is if ENT is the hardest specialty to get into.
