MD "LizzyM Score" for Residency Programs?

[MSTP18]

Is there anything like a LizzyM score for residencies or is the only real resource for figuring out where you stand advisers at your school and charting outcomes (which really only helps for figuring out where you stand in the specialty overall not how competitive you might be for specific programs within the specialty) ?

Nope. Charting outcomes is as good as it gets.

Doesn't exist unless you're going into Orthopedics.

For Ortho, the score is equal to your Step 1 plus your personal best bench press in kg.

IT would be impossible to make a score like that for individual residency programs.
I think what you meant is individual specialties. As in, not a specific program (e.g. "University of X medical center radiology residency program")
In that case, Charting Outcomes is really the best data you can find to shed light on your situation.

Yeah it's: Step 1 score + school name + do I like you.

If the data is out there it's not impossible. From the responses I'm getting it sounds like the data isn't out there.
