Numbers Cutoff on Top Tier Programs?

I know that matching is more than numbers, but can anyone give me a ballpark for a Step 1 number that
top tier programs will at least read your application and not toss it in the trash??!!

I scored 229 and was invited to 18 of 40 (I went on 14). I would say three to four of mine were top tier
programs. 240 is a number to be comfortable with and I think 225 is a must. It is all majic mojo!! Don't
bet on anything with the match and ortho. I was amazed at the some of the programs I was invited to
and those that I was denied. Guys with the same exact numbers can get totally different invites.
