230 is pretty much the cut off for a lot of programs from what I hear... which is pretty discouraging for me.
what do you guys think of An Average Med Student from an Average Med School. An Average Step 1 score of 216, am studying to kick ass on Step 2. Straight A's In all the Anatomy/Histo/NeuroAnat/Neurosciences, Rest of med school Solid B avg. Clinical grades range from Satisfactory Pass up to Honors. Reasearch in Neurology creating Guidelines. Planning to begin Research in Radiology, even though id like to do community and non research based residency.
oh yes... My Wife is in the same class, we're couples matching, shes for Radiology 242 on Step 1, 6 mo of Radiology research at UCSF, SP- Honors on Clinicals.
With my scores i settled for Neurology... but i just got done with Radiology... And I was Created to be a Radiologist.. Im good at it. it comes easy to me. Id be willing to risk not matching this year to Reapply next year.. thats how badly i want it... wadda ya guys think?
