CA IM Program Board Scores Range

Does anyone have any information on what kind of board scores (step 1, step 2) are required for some of the aforementioned CA IM programs in the different tiers?

I heard that the top programs require 230+. Is that true? That seems kind of high b/c some ENT programs have averages like that.

Thanks.

That's actually pretty legitimate, and I suspect that's a place like UCSF's IM intern class will easily have 230+ average. Some of those best programs are also some of the most popular because they are also at the best location. On average it's a lot harder to match at ANY california program compared to a comparable program anywhere else in the nation.

yeah UCSF, UCLA and Stanford: 230s to interview
other CA programs: 215 n above to interview

Not sure if scores alone is used to get interview, or scores + other stuff from your file.
