Hello,
Does anyone know what COMLEX and USMLE scores would be competitive for Radiology both allopathic and osteopathic ones, especially the ones in Texas? Lastly, which osteopathic rad residency relatively easy to get in and where?

Thank you.

I'm a d.o.-i'm not going to be applying to the osteopathic residencies but i rotated at one and they said the more competitive people have a two digits score of 80 and above. 90 is very competitive. keep in mind that, at the osteo programs it's pretty much required to rotate at the program ure interested in.

as far as the MD residencies, i'd say anything above 230 puts you in the running, but realistically you would want close to 240 to put yourself shoulder to shoulder against your allopathic counterparts. A 240ish score + a rotation at a place you want to go (and doing really well there) + research experience= a good chance you'll match.

I am a DO too. Thanks so much, it's helpful. Do you know which programs offer OMS III rad away-rotation electives. I am so intersted in Rad.
Thanks🙂

Agree with above. Also try searching for profiles that have a COMLEX score on radiology.matchapplicants.com
