CBSE scores

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Probably somewhere between a 65-68 is most program cutoffs. I would shoot for a 70+ and be confident that programs won't deny you because of your CBSE.
 
I have seen quite a few residents match in the low 60s and even the high 50s. Then again, these were not very common. Regardless, the fact that there are people matching with these scores makes it hard to argue for a true cutoff score. Just my $0.02

Hey Bereno, think I could chat with you some time about Cincinnati?
 
I know some programs have a hard cutoff but it's so variable that I don't think there's a good answer to your question. I'd probably feel ok with a 68-70+ unless you're pulling hard for a specific program.
