"I chose your residency program over others for several reasons. First, my father was a resident in your orthopedic surgery residency program and highly recommended the training and guidance he received. Secondly, your program was ranked number one based on student activity reported in the AMA Residency and Fellowship database. Since my father was a resident here, I always knew your program would be my first choice, and it is nice that other residents ranked your program as number one."
