Hi... I'm an M4, wrapping up my interview trail in IM... and I need some advice

I should be getting my Step 2 CK score soon (this week or next week). I set up ERAS as "do not automatically transmit". If I did not pass CK, will programs know that I did not pass, even if ERAS is set up as "do not automatically transmit"? Also, what should I do if I did not pass (should I take it ASAP, or can I take it anytime before graduation?)

(Only 2 of 12 programs asked about Step 2 CK during interviews, so far)

Thanks in advance..

i believe that programs will not know anything (pass or fail) if you have not transmitted scores. most programs simply require you to pass CK before their intern start date; i don't think there is much benefit to taking it ASAP if you did fail. also, many people who think they failed, end up doing just fine...so hopefully this discussion won't matter too much for you. best of luck...

You were right NASDR... I'm very happy. :):):)

Thanks.
