Most Competitive Residency

[soonerfan77]

What specialty is the most competitive residency to get. If anyone out there has the info, could you please share the average USMLE/COMLEX scores of each. I know that FRIEDA has the average pay, hours, etc., but I can't seem to find a cut-n-dry comparison of the competitivness of each specialty. I'm particularly interested in EM, but I know others out there would love to have the scoop on every other residency. 😎

This has been beaten to death elsewhere, but here's a start - Stats from the 2005 match, including Step 1 scores, % AOA, length of ROL, etc., etc., etc. for each (well, ok, most) of the specialties:
