Are step2ck scores mostly a cutoff or does having a super high score (e.g. 275-280+) help you match at top programs better? if people had very similar ECs would the 280+ person be considered over a like a 261 for example? not sure how that works.
i think vanderbilt and mayo in particular love high stats (275+)
< know a couple residents at those places with 250s
anything else that was special about those applicants
had super cool niche hobbies, think falconry and white water rafting
underwater bsket weaving
und
240s here and i like painting pics of my pet cat picasso-style
might make more sense to take a year pursuing underwater basket weaving rather than research years at this point tbh
sign me uppppp
i think vanderbilt and mayo in particular love high stats (275+)>does sinai love high step scores too?
no cutoff at my home program, gradient from low to high is considered but context of app/rest of app is much more heavy than the score itself
sinai loves their RY students lmao
hell yeah ranked to match pss pss pss
charting outcomes shows increasing with match rate w increasing score
people are only human. I'd wager that those who get a 270+ are still seen with an added halo effect. With the added caveat that those people aren't weirdos and can interview decently, of course
More of a cutoff at least at programs I'm familiar with. home pd says she considers everything 260+ the same
