Just got my Step II scores back today and I went DOWN by 7 points!! (218/88-->211/86) Just wondering if any of y'all can give a bit of insight on how this may affect my residency apps in terms of getting further interviews. I'm going for Peds. I had the scores automatically released, so residencies got them already. Kinda bummed about the score drop, but c'est la vie I guess.

I went down 5 points myself, 2 point drop in 2 digit score. I went and released mine, wasn't auto. Its there. Nothing to do but wait and see.

Can't worry about something you can't control

Actually doesn't make any difference. Step I is the bane of residency program directors. Chill and make sure your suit is cleaned and pressed.
