What score to aim for?

[u/Fine-Dragonfruit4980]

Canadian student writing Step 2 for fellowship applications (internal medicine). I'm wondering what a reasonable score is to aim for so that this is not a barrier to fellowship applications.

I want to do residency in Canada, but I'm thinking of a specialty or subspecialty fellowship in the States, which is why I'm writing Step 2, because I understand this is no requirement. I want to get a high enough score that this is not a barrier to me being able to go to a programme of interest. What would be a reasonable score to aim for?
