What's the opinion here about USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores for landing an interview in respectable programs? I'm not talking the elite like MGH, Hopkins, or Magee...more like very respectable programs such as UT Southwestern, Emory, or Georgetown. NRMP doesn't provide too many details besides the quartiles.

Try looking here: http://www.apgo.org/residencies/by-location.cfm

Not all programs update regularly (you can see the date they last reported at the top of each program's page) or even list scores, but it's a start.

I got probably a hair below the average USMLE Step 1 and 2 scores and got an interview at UT Southwestern. Be careful about this forum and USMLE scores. It would lead you to believe that 90% of people scored in the 260s.

Thanks for the information!
