Thanks for your response. It definitely varies from program to program. On the website for MD Anderson they mention that COMLEX scores are accepted. I emailed Temple/Fox Chase and they said that for medicine they accept COMLEX but for their fellowships they only accept USMLE. I was thinking that taking step 2 now and maybe step 1 later on if I need so may be my best option. Thanks for the advice.
