Anyone know of a site that tells average USMLE scores of recently admitted applicants by surgery program? (As in, University of X's matched applicants had an average USMLE score of ___.) Thanks!
score breakdown by program?

Not offhand. Even if one existed, it wouldn't really be that helpful. There are just too many things that go into an application for this to help you very much.
I found googling/pubmed/AOA member searching current residents to be fairly helpful in determining what it takes to match there. You should also talk to your faculty and current residents at your home program to see what their take is and get advice of places you might be competitive.
As a rule, if you are at or above the CTO average, you are in decent shape for most places assuming the rest of your application is good. If you're below the CTO average, you'll either apply more broadly or find other ways to bolster your application.
Good luck!
