Advice for pursuing ENT

I already know its an extremely competitive field that is not typically DO friendly but I was still curious if anyone had any words of advice or any connections that could help me proceed into being one of the lucky ones to match. I am currently a OMS-III with a 250 step 1 and a 700 level 1, top percent of the class when it comes to pre-clinical grades, just started clinical rotations so we will see how those go. Lacking in the research realm so weighing the pros and cons of a gap year.
