Question about OKAP scores

[NR117]

For current ophtho residents:
Just curious, what kind of overall percentile rank do you consider competitive when one is applying for a competitive fellowship? You know, the kind your program director will congratulate you on? I mean, 90+ is a no-brainer, but what do you think is the cut off? 75?... 80?...

Most fellowships don't even look at the OKAP score. I think if you score 75% and above you're fine. It's only one measure, however, of your skills, and it doesn't carry that much weight.
