applying to various FM residencies in Chicago. Don't have the slightest clue if my scores are competitive.

Applying to Macneal, Swedish Covenant, Resurrection, Adventist hindsdale and lagrange, Illinois masonic...

6 potential program.. How do I know which programs are more competitive?

In general can anyone answer what kind of board score range do you need to get an interview/acceptance at these residencies in chicago?

FRIEDA just reports 200- 220 range for USMLE and a 450 COMLEX 1 minimum

I have a USMLE 1 of 220 and a COMLEX 1 of 483 on 3rd attempt. B GPA and mostly High honors, honors and couple pass on core rotations.
Just wanted to know If i am wasting my time applying to places where my scores aren't competitive and if i should apply through MD or DO match. Any help would be appreciated!
 
I know the Chicago FM programs well.

Best programs in Chicago: Masonic, MacNeal, West Sub. They are also the most competitive.

They really look for applicants who are good fits for their particular program. Stats don't matter that much so long as you have great performance in your FM rotations.
