It's just leveled out. There's not much of a difference between 245-250.

Since there's little difference after 250 in terms of match success you're going to have fluctuations in the mean score from year to year depending on how high those scores happen to be. It looks like derm also fluctuated from 250 to 246 and back to 249.

step scores dont matter once you meet a threshold which is usually 225-230 for most programs. top notch programs may set cut offs at 240. they are usually soft cutoffs that are overcome by phone calls from mentors and chairs

If all else is equal on your application:

215+   You can match with connections, research, and luck
230+   You can match with connections and/or research
240     You can match
245+   You can solidly match

what does solidly mean?
if you have a 241 or about, you have 90% chance of matching. check charting outcomez

It means all you have to do with a 245/250+ Is just not fuck up.

Don’t be weird. Don’t get a bad letter. Don’t do zero research. And you’re fine.

230s- low 240s you still have to separate yourself in some way.
