Hi, Im a 3rd year medical student at BU. I really want to do my residency in Cali at a UC school. I was wondering what people who matched there had for board scores and grades. I know its weird to post this stuff, but I think it would be so helpful.

Thanks in advance

There was a prior posting much earlier in the year regarding everyones stats and where they were invited for interviews. You should look at this list.

Just know that getting a spot at one of the UCs ranges from average difficulty (UCI) to ultra-competitive (UCSF). You should also know that nearly everyone gets their first or second choice since all applicants have different reasons for ranking one school over another. Even getting an interview at UCSF puts you in a relatively good position for obtaining a spot there since all of the other interviewees at UCSF are looking at other top notch programs across the country (Stanford, UCLA, MGH, BWH, Penn, Hopkins, etc) and not everyone wants to end up in SF or California for that matter.
