but our school includes them in your dean's letter if they are higher than 85th percentile.

This is something only someone in from your school can tell you; each school has its own policy regarding content of the Dean's letter.

People should understand that not all schools have the same policies regarding AOA selection, honors criteria, Dean's letter comments etc.

Just another reason Step 1 is the great equalizer.

They are not.
Not all schools include them in the Dean's letter either. I know mine does not, although it would have been a nice addition.

Step 1 is the great equalizer. I've heard from some PD's that Step 2 scores can really help your application (assuming they are higher). I always believed Step 2 scores should be weighted at least equally to Step 1 since they are clinically based. But that's just me.
