Specialty-specific review for Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) applicants. Matched applicants averaged Step 2 CK 252. We help you meet that bar.
The patterns reviewers flag most often when screening Obstetrics and Gynecology candidates.
Low Step 2 CK relative to matched mean of 252
Insufficient OB/GYN-specific research or publications
Weak personal statement lacking a specific patient care narrative
Letters from non-gynecologists or generic faculty
Limited clinical exposure beyond required clerkship rotations
Step 2 CK above 245
OB/GYN-specific research or publications
Strong letter from an OB/GYN PD or clerkship director
Demonstrated commitment to reproductive health equity or complex gynecologic care
Sub-I or acting internship performance in OB/GYN
Three concrete moves we'll work through with you, drawn from current NRMP / Charting Outcomes data.
Apply to 50–70 OB/GYN programs and complete an OB/GYN acting internship — sub-I performance is heavily weighted for a procedural specialty.
Use 3 gold signals for your highest-priority academic or geographic programs; OB/GYN tiered signaling (3 gold, 15 silver) was formalized for the 2025 ERAS cycle.
Cite a specific ACOG Practice Bulletin or landmark NEJM trial in your personal statement to demonstrate up-to-date clinical knowledge.
We'll pair you with a reviewer who's served on Obstetrics and Gynecology selection committees. Your personal statement, CV, and signal strategy — line-edited against the bar above.
