Matching Allopathic EM with COMLEX only.

Hey guys I'm wondering if any of you out there have been able to match allopathic programs with comlex only. What types of scores are required? I know this may have been posted earlier but I can't find anything more recent than 4 years ago. Thanks.

if you're going to skip the DO match without usmle you should have 600+ comlex and a strong stomach

Agree with Joe. This whole process has made me very nervous. After hearing about some of our colleagues having a difficult time matching with decent scores (on usmle/comlex) it"s just so scary having the Comlex only trying to go allo now.

To put it another way- I'm on audition at a program now that has gotten so many more students than previous years that they cut the student shift number and added a new shift to compensate for all of us.

yeah EM is becoming exponentially increasingly popular thus more rotating students, more applications, less interviews, more who don't match EM. I wonder how hard it will be to get into in 5 years.
