Obviously, there are many components in a residency application that can make it strong or weak. It is less common for an application to have maximized every category, so most candidates will have strengths only in a proportion of these categories and relative more or less average to above average performance in the remaining.
As the awareness about US residency training has increased, more and more international medical students and graduates are pursuing the USMLE path. More resources are available for prep of these exams and as a result the proportion of applicants scoring well above the average has significantly increased.
The number of US graduates have increased as well — they always get the first preference. Given this background, it is suffice to conclude that USMLE scores are no longer a limiting factor for making your application competitive. For the majority, ways to distinguish your application over other applicants with similar USMLE scores lie in the other categories.

Your clinical knowledge along with a research skill will make you a much better job applicant than a PhD who does not understand clinical medicine. Sign in.
