COMLEX & USMLE scores by school

Okay, I know osteopathic schools are all about not competing against each other (I'm in one), but I was wondering if anyone knows how to find COMLEX scores for step 1 and/or step 2 by school. I would also like to know the same for USMLE scores. The reason I want the USMLE score by school is that I've heard my DO school outperforms the MD school in my state, even on their boards.

I'm not trying to compete against MDs, I believe both schools are great, I just want to have accurate information incase I'm asked.

There is no centralized source for this information and any compilations that you see floating around are based primarily on hearsay. I have never seen a compilation that included the correct average score for my school, for instance.

Why does it matter what the average board score is at a particular school? What matter is the score YOU get. Just because you go to a school that has a 600 Comlex average does not mean you will get a 600, and vice versa.

Agree 100%!👍

My school gets 700 / 250 on the test everytime.

Every other school doesn't.

My school scores "above average" on the USMLE. 🙄

This stuff changes year to year too, so the data you're looking at could be the one super brilliant class or the slacker class.

So does mine.

Each school gets sent graphs of this data every year, but only that school is labeled, so you have no idea who the other data sets belong to.

If you ask the administration, they might let you see the data for that school...maybe.
