Does anyone know where I can find the Step 1 averages for each individual medical school, other than looking at their websites?

Generally, the school will give their stats during the interview day, but I want find out right now. 😀

I'm especially interested in Cali schools. I tried looking on UCSF website, but found nothing. For UCD, I found 2000 averages. Kinda old....🙄

If you guys know any stats, please share.

Most schools don't make this info public, and most schools well tell you they are above the national mean.

Hey Long Dong. Ladytron's Seventeen is the catchiest song I think I've ever heard.
 
You should be able to guesstimate it from looking at their average MCAT scores. The higher average MCAT score, the more likely that they'll have high Step 1 scores. That being said; I don't believe a school really prepares you for Step 1; you prepare yourself for step 1. Almost all schools give you the same information, just in different ways. But in the end it boils down to how well you take standardized tests and how well you learned the info in the first 2 years of med school. I know people that went to medical schools with the lowest average step 1 scores and they scored well into the 240s. So it depends on you.
