So I did well on the USMLE but didn't do as well on the COMLEX... does this mean I should stick to applying to allopathic residencies so I don't have to show my COMLEX score?

Yes.

Unless you have a really good reason as to why you want to go DO for residency? (location, extremely competitive residency, etc, etc).

Keep your COMLEX score to yourself. It's irrelevant for anything but licensing from here on out.

G'luck!

what is considered a bad comlex score? what's consider a great score? (assuming you want to apply to a competitive specialty).
