So a little about me. Indian Medical school graduate with US citizenship. Step 1: 222, cs pass, ck pending will be giving by the end of the month hopefully but with result delays etc who knows when the score will come. I have a US LOR but its from Emergency Medicine. other 2 LOR's are for medicine but from India. I want internal medicine anywhere.

My question is, seeing as how my CK score will not be out anytime soon, should I send applications with just the step 1 score and take my chances or should I wait for the ck score and apply late? I know that both of those are not ideal but I am asking which is better of the two.
