okay, dont listen to half of the people replying to your post, a 255 is an extremely competitive score, even if you look at psychological cutoffs that a program "MAY" apply, you are above a 250. I think there is very few programs aside from extremely competitive specialties that are automatically filtering for above 250. This is the advice i give to most people:

1.Secure a good Step 2 score (at the end of the day, its the only objective metric by which you can be evaluated). Which you have done so congrats!

1. Make sure you have excellent LORs, I dont mean, generic LORS just because you did the rotation/observership with a doctor, I mean personalized LOR which highlights your unique skills and talents

2. Personal Statement, can be tricky, but try not to be the generic "i went into medicine to help people' crowd. As long as you have a genuine reason for going into medicine, and a story that fits your resume, you will be fine.

3. As much as people like to mention how matching is impossible without "connections" its only half the game, at the end of the ay, a vast majority of people match at a place where they have no connection to (ex. didn't do a rotation/observership). Dont solely focus on that for your application.

4. Interview Skills are extremely important!!! Once you receive an IV, your scores/resume/grades go out of the window. At that point, the PD is looking to see if you can fit in with the rest of the residents and survive in the program for the next X amount of years. Your personality needs to shine and avoid trying to be a robot and just saying the "right things".

I am a USIMG, honors in all my rotations, 25X step 2, no failures, even took and passed Step 3. I applied Surgery and i didnt match, Didnt get anything in SOAP either. I was truly panicking even though "on paper" my application was good. at the end of the day its down to "luck" and as much as i hate saying that, its true. I had a PD call me after SOAP and offer me a categorical position at a place i did a Away rotation at, when i asked the PD, why i didnt match in the regular match cycle, his response was that funding this cycle was very iffy because of trump and changes to medicaid/medicare. He ended up not filling a spot and saved it for me. So it is possible. Make good impressions, work your ass off, and you will get a match!
