Description
Ophthalmology just hit a 258 average Step 2 score—the highest of any specialty. So it's officially the most competitive, right? Wrong.
Step 2 scores are only one part of a larger picture. And when you run all the numbers, which include Step scores, match rates, research items, and more, ophthalmology ranks sixth most competitive.
Before you brag about your specialty being the most competitive because of one impressive stat, remember, you need to look at all the data, not just the number that tells the story you want to hear.
