Hey guys. I’m a DO hoping to get some interviews at a mid tier university IM program. My step 2 (248) is only 2 points above my step 1. I listed my other relevant stats below

DO applicant for IM.

Step 1- 246/level 1-679
Step 2-248/ level 2-?

Gpa is like 3.8

Class rank is top 10%

Very basic research experience. No pubs.

All Honors except for one high pass during third year. Honored both IM.

Assuming decent LORs.

My real question is if my step 2 being sub 250 is going to kill my chances at a good program with my other stuff being pretty good..?

Thanks!
