Step I Equating comlex to usmle

[kalix]

Anyone have a link or table capable of equating comlex score to usmle score?

I was researching several specialty forums and noticed mention of 230 cutoffs, etc etc... what comlex score equates(approximately) to a 230 usmle...

if you are applying to a program with a USMLE cut off of 230 you should have taken the usmle. It doesn't matter what your comlex is these places wont do the conversion or believe it.

things aren't set in stone, but you'd want it for derm, rad-onc, pastics, ortho, ophtho, ent, radiology. >230 is also a buzz score for top medicine programs, although 'internal medicine' in general isn't terribly competetive.
