He's probably been to busy doing rotations, but I think I read in the usmle results thread he got like in the hi 250s.

I retired because I got a bit sick of the people on here. To many people were taking cheap shots (read bigfrank, cbc) and I got tired of self serving people not contributing to SDN but just using it for their own personal gain and nothing else. To many arrogant bastards, too. I can't stand people who think they are better than everybody else.
I also never wanted my fake world (SDN) to mix with my real world (USC). That happened recently, and I didn't enjoy it. I also always told me that if the two worlds mixed, I'd give up SDN.

All of that, along with having surgery first made me give up SDN. Someone told me about this thread, so I figured I'd make an appearance.

hmm....i don't think he ever posted his score, though one post he did post and appeared to be a score was actually a copy/paste of someone else's post who had scored in the 250s. it was in one of the sticky posts.

Find the below post in the 4th page of the 'official step I results' thread:

Finally went in to get my scores from the school office. First, again I would like to thank the people who have posted on this site for the past three years. Your advice has been invaluable and definately helped me a ton.

Here is how I prepared for the test:

I must say, I'm estatic about my score. I thought I got lucky on a lot of questions. As for correlations (as someone who believe in this things as they correlate to USMLE's):

High School GPA: 4.17. 21st out of 451
SAT: Math 780 Verbal 620 (took the test 5 times. My Math avg was like 760. My verbal was about 550. I kept taking it because my parent signed me up)
College GPA: 3.27 GPA (2.7 Freshman, and with an upward trend)
Grad school GPA: 3.78 (Got B's in the only two classes. Got A's in all the units I had for research)
MCAT: 14B, 13P, 10V and O
Class rank: I would esitmate about 20-25 out of 150 or so.
Q-bank (totally Random): 77%

And finally, my test score: 259. Definately happy about this.

Again, thanks to everybody who helped out. And to the one person who reads this from USC, I don't want the rest of the class knowing my score, so you will be cut off if it leaks. Thanks again everybody on here.
