Trying to figure out why I'm not getting more interviews. Was lying around reading Master the Boards tonight and in the intro it says that not having a Step 2 CK score *will* result in fewer interview offers. I have a high 240's Step 1 and had to take a bunch of my cores late due to time off for medical reasons, and I didn't want to risk scoring lower on 2CK by taking it without finishing everything first. I'm in the top 3rd of my class at an allopathic school. I honored medicine and neuro, high passed everything else (including psych; guessing this is another potential reason?). My dean and psych advisor told me to aim high with regard to residency programs, and to take as much time as I needed for Step 2 CK, so I followed that advice and now I'm wondering if it's biting me in the butt. Only one or two of the places I applied explicitly require a Step 2 CK score to match, and even in those cases it's stated that it's only needed prior to match. Thoughts?
