Hi, does anybody know what are the USMLE scores asked tb enter into a OB/GYN program?
I've been looking for programs, and everybody asks for step 1 scores, but nobody seems to ask for a minimum score in their websites like surgery or internal medicine programs.
Any answers are welcome
Thanks

I don't think ob/gyn is as competitive as it used to be, even know of people who got into top tier programs with average step 1 scores.

University of Cincinnati, for example, has no minimum score requirement for applicants generally or IMG applicants.

I searched about twenty top tier programs, the only hard numbers I found for minimum scores were UPenn (>80) and Yale (>205). Both those seem pretty skimpy, I have a hunch the average score of their residents is much higher.
