Where do we find these for individual medical schools? Everyone is always referencing them on here, but I don't know where we go to see them...
Thanks!
 
Some people are attempting to compile the USMLE Step 1 average scores here . As far as pass rates go, you can sometimes find this info on the websites and viewbooks of medical schools. However, some schools report differently (some stats are first-time pass rate only while others include retakes). The national pass rate for the Step 1 is pretty high (90% or better for US allo students in recent years), so most US med schools have pretty solid passing rates.

Some examples from a quick google search (but some are quite old) :

For match lists, I've tried to compile a list. See my signature below (first link).
