Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody had an idea of what range of USMLE Step 1 and 2 scores would be competitive at top programs. I realize that there are many other parts to the application ie demonstrated interest, grades, rec letters, etc. but it would be nice to have a general idea! Thanks

It is a completely full range. At my program, there are some people who almost failed Step 1, and at the other end of the range there is someone who got a 260-whatever. (Until I heard about that one, I hadn't even known that the scoring range goes that high.)
