is there any site/place to view residency matches by Step Scores?

Mostly referring to Internal Medicine Matches at specific schools. There was a website a lonnnng time ago (2 years?)

http://www.nrmp.org/matchoutcomes.pdf

Most wanted to get a gauge at average average Step 1 and 2 for top 5 programs (harvard, mayo, hopkins) vs. top public schools (UNorthcarlonia, UAlabamaBirmingham, VirginaCommonwealthU). There was a med school match site (been a while), where we'd put our mcat, gpa, some activities, and show what schools interviewed, accepted, etc.

Wanted to see scores of people that matched at specific schools for internal medicine.

This is still in its infancy, but generally contains what you describe:

I guess that is helpful. not applicable to myself. Is there a web site like that for internal medicine? above website is mostly for specialties.

Even a website with step 1+2 score averages, and not other factors will be good enough.

this would be great! Any idea where one might go to find this info? How are we supposed to know if a residency is a reach or we are competitive?

Many programs have current resident bios on their websites. If you see a program with lots of FMGs.....probably not the most competitive place.

Also, there is the official NRMP "charting outcomes in the match" document. If a program has unfilled spots, especially year after year, probably not the best place.

Outside of self-reporting by applicants, you aren't going to find a database of individual residencies sorted by Step scores. It's kinda like medical schools, in that the vast majority will not release their official USMLE score reports provided by the NBME. I would venture that programs, like medical schools, do not like to be judged simply by their residents' Step scores.
