The simple answer is no. While you can get number from FREIDA it does not tell you what the pool of applicants looks like. I would suggest talking to either the dept head in your medical school or the residency director to get a sense of which programs are more competitive. Have a list ready as it would make things easier. Also, hang around scutwork.com and AMSA's site to get a sense what people like/dislike. There is no easy way to tell. Certain specialties have directories that publish avg USMLE scores of their intern class, so it gives you some sense. But, truthfully, no one way to know. People value different things in their residency so one which would be best for one thing may not be good for others.
