Hi,

Need help from anyone who interviewed at Mayo Rochester this year. Does Mayo Rochester require a reported Step 2 CS/CK score in order to be ranked by them?

I'm trying to save myself a trip to Rochester because I will not take Step 2 CS until March 9.

Thanks in advance...:confused:

I am not sure but I do not remember them emphasizing that on interview day. Most places require that you take CS before you join and require step 1 and 2 CK scores. You can always email them and ask the Q.

Hi CanIMakeIt,

Did you submit your Step 2 CK and CS scores to Mayo Rochester for ranking? Or will you?

Mayo, for some reason, prefers the step 2 CK in addition to your step 1. My impression is that they believe the step 2 CK exam gives them a better idea of your clinical decision making rather than your knowledge of mechanisms. They do not require you to have taken CS.

I submitted CK results as soon as they were available before interviews. CS results are not back yet.
