Hey there guys!
My question: I scored 234 on Step 1, and I know it's above the mean. That said, I've consistently seen that now, for some reason, programs want way more than that. I get that looking into forums to predict how match season is going, is not very effective, but I do notice the trend of only being granted and interview if your scores are above 240 and for other programs, above 250. I think realistically, with my 234 I'll be filtered out by many many programs. Considering also that I'm a 2010 USIMG. I do have potential to score way above that, but I cut myself short on a few subjects that I didn't even look at because I wanted to rush to apply this season- bad move. Anyway, have you also noticed this on some programs only inviting those 240+ for interviews?
Thanks.
