I was in my last year of med school then, which just came to a close and I’ll be taking it again in maybe 3-4 months, after some dedicated re-studying at home without med school to worry about. I took step 1 in June, right around the time when the new format was incorporated, and though my NBME practice exam scores were decent (234/243), I was too anxious the night before and didnt rest-> ended up falling asleep during the first block, leaving more than half the questions blank, and then having issues with time due to sleepiness during the rest of the blocks, and overall poor performance on the exam and subsequently not passing. I’m a US citizen, who grew up in California, went to UCSD for a year, withdrew and went to India for med school. George and Ross? ( have not talked to them yet, was blind set on getting into AUC) 🙁ĭo you know what a score of 500 is similar to the previous scoring?ĭo you think I should retake and reapply or try St. Just got rejected by Kimberly Kirkland (admission’s committee). My stats: BA Mathematics and Chemistry, MA Secondary Education:Mathematics and Chemistry volunteered in 2 hospitals for 3 years, active member in community service organization, quit NYC teaching job and work as a surgical technician for general and bariatric clinic and medical assistant for multispecialty clinic various beauty pageants finalist and winner(irrelevant) no research experience, GPA 3.93, new MCAT 500. Took me a year to take MCAT, get everything together and go through application process. I was thinking about you every night before going to sleep afraid of my own internal limitations and finally got enough encouragement from your posts to do it. I was blown away by your kindness and compassion to provide information to others. You inspired him to take USMLE’s, come to US with his whole family and work at a local community hospital in NYC.Imagine that, Argentina!Then he recommended I visit the site. He told me of financial hardship he experienced being a doctor back in Argentina and dreamed of coming to US, but did not know the US health system until he came across your website. One day, I was at the hospital with my daughter in NYC and started talking to a very pleasant pediatric nephrologist who hardly knew any English and nephrology for that matter. I never thought of a career of a physician being possible for me. 30% of AUC students scored a two-digit score of 99 (which is the maximum two-digit score possible, equivalent this year to a three-digit score of 229 or higher).ĭear Benji, I want to let you know what an inspiration you have been and how you are known worldwide. In comparison, the average US average was 221 (2009 data, 2010 pending). In 2010, AUC had an average USMLE Step 1 score of 217. How does AUC Compare with Average Step 1 Score? How Do Schools Compare in First Time Pass Rate in 2010? AUC As of January 2014, the minimum passing score is 192. In January 2010, it was increased from 185 to 188. Over the years, the USMLE Step 1 Committee has gradually increased the passing score required for the exam. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R)ĭata from 2010 NRMP Program Director SurveyĪs 90% of residency programs seldom or do not consider graduates who did not pass the Step 1 exam the first time around, it is imperative that we not only exceed our target score for our desired residency but also make sure we pass the step the first time we take it. Programs almost always grand interviews above these scores: Programs generally do not grant interviews below these scores: As an International Medical Graduate, who needs to “prove yourself more,” add a few more points to the target score listed. Depending on what type of residency you want to do, you’ll want to strive for at least the scores on the right column. This data was collected by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) from surveys with program directors every year. The table below shows the scores in which residency programs generally do not grant interviews as well as the scores in which they generally do in 2010. But realistically speaking, not everyone (or anyone) can get the theoretical maximum possible score of 300. As the USMLE Step 1 Score is the #1 thing residency programs look at when deciding whether or not to grant you an intervew, you should of course aim for the highest score possible.
