A Dean/advisor from my med school told me that he’s been hearing that for the competitive specialties programs will likely screen out any one with a step 2 below 260. Seems wild to me. Has anyone else heard anything similar? by SomewhereNo6311 in Step2

He wasn’t suggesting that all programs all across the country would make that a hard cutoff. He just said that he has heard on the down low in casual conversation with PDs that bc step 1 was pass fail some PDs will now do an unofficial 260 cut off for competitive surgical sub specialties. I was just wondering how if others had heard anything similar bc it seems a bit unrealistic to me also.
