COMLEX 2 score reporting question ...

Members don't see this ad.

I saw somewhere when looking at ERAS info that it states that we can select to automatically have our scores reported or where we can manually have them sent whenever we choose to do so (this is how I understood this). So, my question is if I take my Step 2 early and choose to manually report my Step 2 scores can I delay reporting the score if I do not do as well as I did on level 1? Basically I would like to take level 2 early but if I did not do as well as my level 1 score could I cover myself by not releasing the scores until later on (same as if someone took step 2 late in 4th year?). I'm confused and hopefully someone can explain this to me. Thanks in advance.

Only way to do that is to take the exam AFTER submitting your application. Otherwise BOTH scores are released to your selected programs.

So submit app on June 15th (I think that's the day for DOs) & take exam June 16th
Also, we may want to put another date under "Expected Step 2" date so you don't get asked about it at interviews.

Good Luck

I plan on applying before taking the exam.

OK so as DO's are we able to get in and do ERAS yet? I've "signed" up for the AOA resident/internship program at the www.natmatch.com site that our school e-mailed us, but according to you guys we should be able to enter and submit our application by now. Unless you meant July 15th.

I have not been able to enter anything, I just came across that info while reading what we should do when we are able to log in. We are all still waiting as far as I know. Its just a question that I had about the process.

Oops sorry....I think it is July 15th but all the tineline info should be on the ERAS webpage or in its FAQ.
