cutoffs??

[minnime]

Hello,
Speaking of step I and II scores and residency programs..Is there a website I can go to where the hospitals list their cut off points (if they have it)? If not, what is the general range for each residency programs ( I know it varys on which program, but can we say for Peds minimum of say 200??)
Any info will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

For Internal Medicine, it was common to see advertised (ie on the website, etc) cutoffs of the following 2-digit scores: 80(~195), 82(~200) and
85(~210). It seems as if the advertised cut-offs are not always followed, esp in cases of US vs IMGs, local applicants, etc. It's best to ask.
This questions is difficult to answer from a generalist perspective. It would be best for you to contact each program individually and give them a brief summary of your performance (highlighting your Step scores) and ask them if you still qualify for an interview. This should be a fast process once you have the general template down.

Try http://www.fmgamerica.com/lists.html which has USMLE criteria for programs in several specialties...don't know how accurate the info is though...if you are willing to pay a fee, I would suggest http://www.matcharesident.com/main.php which is probably more complete and up to date.
