VSAS and step score

[dragonbalzeaster]

Do programs that participate in VSAS use a step 1 cut off? I took an year off for research. Low step 1 (210+), 260+ step 2, passed CS. US allopathic student. Will appreciate any input. i am fairly new to this thread.

Some schools specifically request Step 1 scores with your VSAS app, so I have to imagine those particular places use it. Your school reports only your pass/fail status through VSAS, so if an institution doesn't ask for it as a supplemental document (which you can find out in VSAS), they won't have it. I have to imagine you'd be screened out of some of those places, but I know people with less impressive Step 2 and similar step 1 scores that were still able to rotate at Top 20 institutions. Way to battle back, by the way! best of luck to you.
